I have an announcement to make. For the first time since the Nov. 2019 (the ULM missed FG game where we went 10-2 and final kick landed next to me….), I will be going to the Cajuns game…
I just hope my luck holds out. Haven’t been to a bowl game since Tulane 2013.
That sucks to hear.Quote:

The thinking behind this is that marketing knows folks would rather sit in a stand or blind for 3 or 4 hours in such weather instead of attending a UL football game in the same weather. Brilliant!Quote:

Looks like an artic Siberian blast coming that day. Hopefully it changes as a lot can change in a 11 day forecast. History shows it’s always cold and rainy for the Indy Bowl. looks Like tickets are selling nicely now. Should have a decent crowd if the snow, sleet, rain holds out. Either way I’ll be there with my crew.Quote:

Great if 2 buses, might overwork the staff. Just imagine if they would market the buses, might of needed 6. Would have to hire extra staff.

Be sure to check out Indy Bowl 2000. MSU vs aTm
If this is true, this is completely and totally unacceptable. This is the kind of stuff that keeps our alumni away, keeps our support low and give credence to the idea that UL really doesn't want to be successful in Athletics.Quote:

USL still thinks bussing to a game is similar to busing for integration.
Welcome to the 21st Century, Louisiana. Get 5 or 6 busses. This is the good kind of bussing . . . Go Do It . . . C’mon Man
They're too busy asking people for money...Quote:

but, but, but, the horse's mouth . . .
Man, do you know how hard it it to line up a bus and driver these days? These folks are short-handed.Quote:

Me, Ragin Rayne, Jeaux, M$M, Beavis, and Ragin Dave will all drive one up there. Who's on board? Huh, huh?
Can we do it cannonball run style? First bus there gets the Indy bowl trophy and gets to run the AA for a yearQuote:
