    ps the reason I suggested "Ashby Woodson Manual Training Facility" was because he was also the Professor of "Manual Training" (no tie to sports)
    Snuffy made the comment that we need a good name to help pay the bills.

    Why not get IBM to sponsor our athletic facility and tie it in to our highly recognized computer program. Put their name on it for a few million a year.

    The pros do it, the bowls do it. LET'S DO IT....

    Ashby Woodson started the first football team. I don't know what else he did but whatever the name is it will need to cover all sports
    Although BJ's main focus or job was football, I dare say that an athlete ever walked through 4 years at this University without some contact with BJ. I don't remember attending too many Cajun athletic events that BJ was not there in attendance and so many behind the scenes actions that he did.

    I have made the statement before that the individual sports have there banquets and then at some point in the spring before every one heads home have a gathering for those who love Louisiana athletics.

    Make it a bar b que, fish fry whatever, That should be named after Blackjack, because he used to throw one every year.....
