isnt the governor of PR resigning or going to jail? or is that one of the mayors down there?

Marlin has spent the last 3 years complaining that football is squeezing his budget and he goes ahead and spends road game revenue on going on a preseason road trip.

Which was the entire point. But people will always excuse and defend.

I keep seeing “reasons” that the PR trip is needed is because it’s a recruiting tool. You know what’s a better recruiting tool? Good home schedules so players play in front of big home crowds…

Is it time for the “Real Cajun Basketball Fan” to come out and ____ on Man About Town’s driveway because they disagree I.E. the social club? LOL

Built in excuse for them having team a bad start .. Marlin had to play a tough schedule to pay for the PR trip.


Years past fans flipped the bill now Marlin gets out fundraised by Dimond sports

People have checked out because of what cajuns80 said and apparently him not caring that people don't like it.

I checked out because I got tired of the smoke and mirrors he was using to disguise how far the program has regressed under his coaching. His teams at UL have a losing record vs top 200 RPI schools and have never beat a P5 school in the top 100 RPI. Those are absolute facts that he has covered up by feasting on bottom 150 teams.

You see what I told you, Turbine . . .
