Poll - What percentage of Football support is acceptable for Basketball

[CajunFan3406]

If this team had twenty or more wins under their belts, any chance at all to win in the CT, or a star player who was making some hay, they would have been there also.

In case you didn't see the game on Sunday, the Cajuns lost on a 3 in the final 10 seconds to UNT which went on lose in the championship game by 4. The Sun Belt tournament is generally pretty wide open. To suggest that this team didn't have any chance to win it is very indicative of how much you followed basketball this season. Don't let the performance from the last of the two games you saw fool you.

That's impressive.

What's impressive (and tedious) is that he lives only 10 miles away from the Cajundome... but drives around in a circle to log 260 miles!

You calling me an idiot and stupid? That's laughable. Don't get mad because I'm calling you out for what you really are. Hell, you gave yourself the title. I'm of the belief that my money and bringing people to UL events that haven't been before does a lot more for growing the program than ____ing you off does to hurt it.
I noticed about 2 or 3 weeks ago that you started commenting on some of the basketball threads as if you were some self-appointed expert that saw every game this team played this year, when in actuality you only saw two. Anyone who saw a decent amount of games this season knows that the ULM game was by most accounts an aberration. Yet you come on here saying things like Elfrid Payton shouldn't be at the point and should be on the bench, that EP should be a forward, and other misinformed nonsense. But yet when he comes to the first game of the conference tournament and almost puts up a triple-double you're nowhere to be found. Nothing to be heard about how you were wrong and congratulating him on his play. Nothing.
Here's the deal. You're a football fan primarily. You go to a lot of the spring practices that are open and as many games as you can, such as ASU last year. We get it. Stick to that. When a question is posed about a sport that you don't frequent, why don't you try not putting your ramblings out there. Or at least try and make a few games before you start arguments with others who actually watch those teams play.

To quote Quigly,"i said I didn't have much use for pistols. I didn't say I didn't know how to use one." for you to say that I'm misinformed about this BB team is just as misinformed as you assume me to be. I have listened to several Cajuns games this year, as well as reading about the team, as well as attending the games I did attend this year & last. You are entitled to your opinion just as I am. That does not mean you have the market cornered on the evaluation process.

If you wish to disagree on philosophy or the reasons you think super kid is gonna be a superstar or why you think the coach is a freaking genius, then have at it. Just don,t get your panties knotted up because the jury is still out on this coach & his program for Most fans or potential supporters. To further edify you, as if that were possIble, I was a BB season ticket holder long before I ever held football season tickets.

You know what this tells me? It screams they were one & done. For the second year in a row To a tteam which didn't win the tourney. And this is supposed to impress me how?

The Marlin supporters on the team should have rallied to his cause. Are they good enough to win even this conference as down as it is at the present time? Will Marlin get guys he can work with & have consistency? Will his program suffer another midseason or late season melt down?

No one knows these things except one guy. And he ain't tellin. So quit acting like anyone who has legitimate questione about the future of the program is just a disloyal hack. You may be right & you may end up regretting you ever went out of your way to attack other people In defense of this guy.

[SlappyCajun]

While I do disagree with BWK about Elfrid Peyton and a lot of other stuff. I agree with him that it is fair to question where the program is.

I still believe that Marlin will get it done, but I don't know for certain. We haven't won a Sunbelt tourney game in 6 years. It's fair to ask some questions.

I also agree that until we start reeling off wins, crowds won't come to the dome. People in Lafayette expect a high level of basketball. Rightly or wrongly, I believe most people in Lafayette supported basketball far more than football.

We have to get better quickly. I believe Marlin is a good X & O's coach. However, the best play in the world drawn for a guy who can't shoot will lose to a terrible play drawn up for Michael Jordan.

You aren't getting it. Of the 10 games in the conference tournament this year, only 2 were won by double digits with the largest margin being 15 points. The average margin of victory was just shy of 6 points. The only conference losses the Cajuns suffered by a wide margin were a 25 point loss to Denver and the loss to ULM. But then they also stomped the eventual western division winner by 19 at their place. You have to smoking something if you think this team didn't have a chance in the tourny, especially with the propensity the tourny has for producing low-seeded winners.
BTW, the Cajuns have been one and done for 6 years in a row, but the last 2 under Marlin have been losses by 5 points and 4 points. Tournaments are funny things. I don't think many were expecting Middle to be one and done.

YOU don't get it, CajunFan. Bandwagon prince is so much smarter and more knowledgeable than us that...heck...he doesn't even need to go to games and can STILL provide THE definitive evaluation of the status of our program. Matter of fact, he wasted time going to two whole games. Probably had enough to make a judgement after that first one.

You're right. How stupid and idiotic of me.

[Boomer]

I tell you guys what worries me---FIU, WKU, and ASU have had great recruiting the last 2 years in football---Not quite sure about the rest of the league---In B-ball WKU and NYU have had great years and not sure about the rest----But if we are gong to win we absolutely need to pick up our recruiting efforts--I think that it has been posted about our terrible shooting and we NEED some guys to fill it up ----NOW!!!!!

I guess if one translates your garbage response, it could be assumed that you are saying that those who only have an opportunity to attend X number of games should ever be able to express an opinion even in regards as to why more prople haven't attended games? How much hippy lettuce must one smoke to come to the brilliant conclusions which you & CF 3406 seem to arrive at on a regular basis?

When you base a majority of your opinions off of a loss to ULM which I've previously said was an aberration, then yes you may need to attend more than 2 games before you expect people to listen to said opinions with any sort of merit.
