JMU hosting game day next weekend…place is gonna be rockin…
That is now two SBC programs to host the most recognizable brand collegiate athletics at their place.
Y'all keep making excuses while the rest of the programs in this league zoom right past us...
It’s actually pathetic, that fans here have bought into the manta of it will never happen here.
They only go to a campus with passionate fans. That eliminates this place.Quote:

It COULD be possible here if this town would stop sucking that .
Not with the current coaching staff.
A full, loud crowd could make a big difference in close games and help this young couching staff.Quote:

Amen!Quote:

It's sad. But this admin makes it hard to be a Cajuns fan. I'm exhausted.
Nope they appealed and got turned down by the NCAA already.Quote:

I guess the mistake by Dr the fossil was moving us up to D1 too.early. talk about ironic....
Also ncaa said instead of using the 5-7 tiebrekers, jmu gets first slot over a 5-7 team, if any... and army could bring an interest twist to conversation, chance for 6-6, with 2 fcs wins and won't know until dec9
What percent of Acadiana are still actual descendants, sounds like the percentage keeps going down as the area growsQuote:

Is that why every single Lafayette high school graduate attends UL Lafayette.Quote:

huge movements currently underway at Clemson, auburn and Miami to get those limiting "town names" out of sight/out of mind.
Miami is not in Miami ironically enough...
And private schools are not a good fit
Exactly. Why would people choose to watch one team’s hard fought battle with Southern Miss when they could watch another team’s hard fought battle with Florida?Quote:

Miami of Ohio isn't changing they've been around over 200 years.
Clemson has no name competitor.
Auburn is also unique.
Vermilion as the local schools name would, have been distintive.
Lafayette College has also been, around 200 years. And Lafayette Leopards logos regularly show up representing UL Lafayette.
There are also 20 other Lafayette communities in the US.
No rational marketing or branding firm would adopt Lafayette as their brand.
Isn't academics legally required to keep Lafayette in the name?Quote:
