From Cajunrunner's Article:

"The UL football program is finally rebounding, and this is good for the whole university, especially the rest of the athletics program. As a former Ragin' Cajun track and field athlete, I have seen how revenue brought in by the football and basketball teams affects funds for the spring sports, such as baseball, softball and track.
I know all the typical rhetoric from those who enjoy putting down the Cajuns. The fact is our Cajun football players work just as hard as any in the nation, and the results are beginning to show.

Now is certainly the best time for all SLI, USL and UL alumni to really show support for the football team that represents Lafayette. If you graduated from SLI/USL/UL, there is hardly any reason for you not to attend Saturday's game at Cajun Field. Even if you swear you're the biggest Tiger fan, LSU is off.

About one out of every four players on the Cajun roster played high school football right here in Acadiana, therefore sporting a great representation of the area and giving local fans some good local guys to cheer for. So remember, not only is supporting your candidate for the upcoming election important, but so is supporting our UL Ragin' Cajun football team.

In the end, these guys, with their class and hard work, will always represent Acadiana and Lafayette better than the politicians."






Nicely put and a great tie in to try to help boost attendance. Thanks.

By the way, are you a native iotian?

Nice. I am glad you posted that here so we can all see it. I usually read the advertiser online and I'm not sure if I'd have noticed it. Well done.

Do it every week. but, next time, see if you can work in some subliminal messages or something and try to hypnotize them to the game.

I'm from Lafayette. My wife is a native Iotian, Gott's Cove to be exact.

Rhineaux:

I'm part of that new guest editorial staff for the Daily Advertiser. It's a rotation where my op/eds appear once every three weeks, and I wasn't scheduled to appear until next Thursday. However, I begged the lady who was scheduled for today to switch with me so I could have this one in print for Homecoming. She was happy to, but be warned. The reason she wanted to switch is because her upcoming editorial is about the need for UL (to not) play LSU!!

The rest of my stuff, with the exception of a New Orleans Bowl op/ed if we make it, will be on Louisiana politicis.

She'll have to be real savvy to go down that trail and not step in her own poop.

That was a great piece, Nick! Very enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Hopefully, you can take a break from the political stuff to address the Cajuns' achievements again in the near future...maybe something they're doing say... in New Orleans?

Nice job Nick. Keep pushing our Cajuns.

We've missed you the last couple of years in our Erath 4th of July Run. Try to make it back next year.

Your race director and fellow alum.

Very nice article. Thank you for taking (making) the opportunity to reach out thru the Advertiser to gain added support for UL athletics, and in particular this weeks homecoming football contest.
