The Ragin' Cajuns' football games are free to students, but most said they don't attend and a long string of losses are part of the reason. Freshman Austin Payne said he went to three games this year but then just stopped showing up. "It would be nice to ...

William J. you do not need 7 wins to be considered for a bowl.
Just six, Bustle never got past that however even though he was handed an extra game (in his 5th- 9th years) to get it done.

After reading the article, it is obvious that most students are not in touch with the football program. More importantly, neither is the writer.Quote:

To me, the title of the article makes it irrelevant. What's done is done. Bustle is gone. It doesn't matter what any of us think. It's time to move on and get better. This is a BS article, by a BS media outlit IMHO.

Turbine, I agree with you. Aside from scheduling my classes, the orientation process was a complete waste of my time.Quote:

After attending all home games for the past four years... its painfully obvious that we do not have student support. Its a shame that they get in for free and won't show up.Quote:

I think an article like this should run after every game and UL event. So what if it exposes some ignorance.
UL Athletics is first and foremost for the student body, and I would like to see the historical fingerprint as time goes by.
well, just look at the newspaper in which the article is published. do you expect anything better than stupid articles? (jp articles excepted, of course)Quote:
