I know most of you do tailgate and I respect that. I don’t need that for the game day experience. I park, I walk to the stadium, but get in just before the anthem, I watch the game, I leave. Simple as that. I go to sporting event for the opportunity to watch the game.
All others were just the same, “UL football will never compare to LSU”; “Tiger Stadium sells beer now” (which I didn’t deny, but I was trying to convince casual fans to grab a beer at Cajun field, instead of huddling at a bar); “you’re blaming the wrong fans” - I’m not trying to get people to switch allegiance, I’m trying to get the carefree fans from Acadiana, who carelessly follow LSU through no personal attachment, to consider the Cajuns for once.
I didn’t set out to ____ anyone, but it looks like there’s some tempers running high. My daughter even said she saw my post on Instagram- I don’t have an Instagram.
All I was trying to do was drum up some support for my Cajuns. That’s it. I’m sorry.
You have nothing to apologize for.
Re: On a Scale of 1 to 10
What I’m getting from a few commenters is that the University has some work to do, healing bitterness over increases and fees. I think the last three years of HUD left some of them jaded.

This right here is part of the problem.

I'm not saying to just go on purging spree, but in no scenario, will state fans support UL. We've got to find our own fans that want to support the community :)

Guys, let’s not get into it with each other....c’mon.

That is a very nice Louisiana Ragin Cajun football comment right there. This is the kind of fan we are really striving to attract.

Vic, I invited you to room with me in NC and you rejected it.

But I suggested a very palatable roommate for you.

I know where his perspective is. My perspective is simply that we will not get any LSU fans to support UL football in any meaningful way. There shouldn't be any apologies to the "never UL" people that were never going to support us anyway. If you think we need to poach LSU fans to get our attendance to 25k, then I think you're over looking all the thousands of alumni that are sitting at home in the very city they went to college in. They are the people that are ripe for the picking, let the others walk.

I have no interest in purging anyone, nor do I care what people that call themselves alumni and complain about paying $10 dollars across the street to park say either. If you are not a member of RCAF, you are not supporting athletics period. It's time we stop listening to these people's complaints after this AD has lowered food prices, ticket packages and added another parking lot at a lower tier cost.
I'm tired of the older Geaux to Hell McNeese Crowd that doesn't see something better for this program's future by paying a little more for parking, tickets and tailgate lots. And I'm tired of the younger Give ME Something Free crowd that demands free or cheap food, parking and beverages at high school ticket level cost.
I will no longer no lecture those two groups on RP or in the general public. I ask one favor for the sake of civility amongst the different factions of Cajun's fandom, PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!
