2006 LSU-45 UL-3

Funny stuff! Really must have ruffled some kitty fur. Hope they don't choke on a hairball.

The Times of Acadiana is usually a paper void of useful information. However, last week there was an amusing article about life on UL's campus, and there was a section titled "5 Reasons to Hate LSU."

Well, apparently, it's ok for LSU to hate on UL, as many of them love to do, especially Baton Rouge Publications, but they can't take it when someone with Cajun pride turns around and does the same.

Here is what the editor of the Times had to write:

Some crazy LSU woman even called and threatened him with his job.

And here is the links for the attack of letters to the editor. I did enjoy the last guy's letter.

I guess I may have to write in my two cents.

Looks like they did stir up a hornets nest! This will not fair well for the times relative to advertisers.

so typical tiger fan! Heaven forbid someone in the state of louisiana not like the tiggahs! They are such cry babies. i thought the story was great and done in good taste. I hate to see what they would say if i would have had the chance to write that article. And i would be willing to bet maybe one of them actually went to lsu. I think they should print five new reasons to hate lsu every week and watch all of them squirm! And to think by threatening to not read the paper they will get anything accomplished, hey news flash ___ holes people have disagreed with articles before and it has never stopped an editor from publishing a good story! You would know that if you went to college!

My favorite part of the Editor's article:

"What came through in a lot of the e-mails and phone calls was that UL doesn’t have the right, hasn’t earned the right, to tweak Tony, uh, Mike the Tiger’s nose as Susan did. The gist of their argument is that the Tigers are the big cats on the block, the Ragin’ Cajuns nothing more than pesky gnats. If that’s so, then why does the Tiger growl so angrily when the gnat bites him on the behind?"

Well I am also one of MANY who passed up the opportunity to attend Louisiana State University and Agricultural, Mechanical and Arrogant Alcoholic Ibecile College to attend the University of Louisiana to pursue a degree in engineering one of the many colleges at UL that are far superior to the above mentioned longed winded institution. Maybe on second thought my 4.0 and 27ACT was not good enough to attend the school to the northeast as so many of their "highly intelligant" graduates seem to think.

The sad thing is that more than likely the majority of those responses to Ms. Gonzalez's and Mr. Williams articles were probably written by people who never attended that university. The one that actually claimed he recieved that purple piece of paper just happened to live where, uh, let me see the fine city of Lafayette.

So we go to Louisiana State University Agric....blah blah blah..... and lose we come home $400,000 richer or we beat them in their own stadium at the only thing that school know for and come home $400,000 richer. Seems to me that our "second rate school of dumb coon_____es" comes out ahead.
THANKS SKIPPY BIRCHMAN.

GO CAJUNS!!!!!!!

I agree. Those comments make me ill. I grew up in Baton Rouge and lived around LSU my entire life. I applied to both schools and got into BOTH schools. I chose UL over LSU for good reasons and still to this day it was a great decision. God forbid we don't jump on the bandwagon like all those folks who have never set foot in a LSU classroom.

BTW I've got to rib you. I am now living in Columbus Ohio nearby Cinci. GO REDS!

Why are all of these smart, superior LSU grads moving to places like Abbeville, Duson, and Rayne. My friends who have graduated from UL have gotten jobs in NYC, Boston, Nashville, and I am going to Houston, for example.

Damnit, i wish i would have accepted that LSU scholarship. I could have worked in Duson, while raising my family somehwere in the suburbs, say Mire. It would have been a tough commute everyday, but hey, Duson is way too densly populated to raise a family.

THAT IS JUST PLAIN AMAZING!!!!!

"About half of them said they’d drop their subscriptions, which would be a neat trick since The Times is a free publication. "

This is classic! LMAO!!!

My response/ opinion to the Times of Acadiana....

Excuse me, but, "if you dont like the Cajuns, Move to Baton Rouge"!! Lsu
fans need to get over this. Lafayette is a college town, and it is normal to
have a rival! The Times of Acadiana is for Acadiana residents, not for Baton
Rouge residents. Why can't we be proud of our school and show some school
spirit? Acadiana residents should have pride in UL Is it a surprise to anyone that it will take longer for UL to show its colors after the state guarantees 50% of its college education funding to Lsu, and THEN splits the rest with the remaining colleges?!?! If LSWho was so great, their fans wouldn't be so rattled by a mere article. Lsu is a name, but as a proud graduate of UL, I can honestly say it has been one of the greatest experiences in my life. I wasn't just one in a million, I truly got to know the university and community...there is much more to UL than what a "tigger" can see. Unknown by many, having a UL education has brought me nothing by open opportunities in the job market. I am a proud Ragin' Cajun and there is nothing wrong with the article, infact, I LOVE IT! I just don't understand why those big ole tigers were bothered by that little article?!?!?!?!!?! GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
