2010: Due to Midday Heat Louisiana Moves Game Time Back Where it Belongs

Quote:

"The following Monday, he called the conference office to talk to Wright Waters. The commissioner didn't need much of an explanation. Waters had observed the game from the Swamp's press box, where it was reportedly 90 degrees all day."

This isn't correct, Wright Waters fought the decision. I'm not sure how he came to this conclussion without talking to Waters.

I presume the writer came to his conclusion about the Commissioner's stance after talking to Mr. Walker. David probably wanted to make it appear there was early consensus on the decision in order not to cast the Commissioner in a negative light in the press. That probably was an agreed to plan after the decision was made. The probable sceneario was that David told Wright who really runs the show here and he had no choice but to agree. Now, let's have fans show up and let's win the game. We did give up an advantage for our players with this move and hopefully they will be supported as a result.

I heard Wright Waters was an A-hole about it.

Memoranda of Understanding.

"On a Saturday night in Lafayette, there isn't a wealth of entertainment options."

Young grasshopper has much to learn doesn't he? It's a common misconception that most find pleasantly surprising

Yeah, the guy didn't do any research about Lafayette but he does say nice things so it's cool.

Thank God this game wasn't on TV.

That was with ample water supply.

Not one mention in 2010 of running out of or low on water.

The other thing that jumped out me from the 2010 comments was the home side fans having compassion for what the student side fans went through.

The irony of course being that everyone on 24.09.21 was on the side of the field that gets hottest.

Ahhhh. Makes sense. But at noon both sides would be equal? Wasnt the student side mention for from 230 to 6?
