RaginCajuns.com ... the offline fiasco of 2006-2007

[rhineaux]

_ Wierd. I was trying to access it from FireFox (which I have done many, many times in the past) and it wouldn't work. But it works fine in IE. _

I sent the administrator's an e-mail to let them knwo there was an issue. You might want to do the same to tell them about your troubles with FireFox. When i had the problem last week, i wasn't on FireFox, so there might be some underlying issue here.

It might be due to all the McNeese fans getting on the site to vote for the game against them as "our" biggest game of the year. Even their internet connections are polluted.

I let them know about it.

I just noticed that the multimedia section of RaginCajuns.com no longer has historical video/audio archives that used to be on the site. Does anyone know why it was removed?

[NCAA or BUST]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed www.ragincajuns.com is less informative than a year ago? I can't put my finger on it it seems like there is a lot of little stuff missing.

You mean like a bunch of unnecessary "@Lafayettes"?

Not again. I went to the school site this morning. It wouldd not let me enter the school site. It let me shop but not get to where I wanted to go. Now you send me a direct link? HELP

I am only wishing but I would like to know the sport, the gender and the result from the headline. These are the headlines inthe last 36 hours:

Cajuns Get Back in the Win Column

Cajuns Start Outdoor Season on a Good Note

Cajuns even ASU series

Cajuns Drop Finale, Series In Extras

Cajuns Continue Winning Ways

Cajuns Clinch First Win of Season

Cajun Field to Host Southern, Big 12's K-State

A-State Ace Handles Cajuns

Golden Eagles Fly by Cajuns 4-3

Cajuns Set to Serve Up Two Home Matches

Very confusing, and Softball wasn't even playing.

I know it is impossible but 2 out of 3 would be nice.

Well, not many of the news sources are really good with title, which is all the more important now with RSS.

So you drop your RSS list, and you see things like:
Mayor Pitches New Tax District (which city?? for what?)
Red Stick Puts on Pink
School Board Overhauls (which school board? what are they overhauling?)
Domestic Abuse
Site at Center of National Debate (NIRC??)
Divided over Dollars

I hate to say it, but the only news source that's any good at this is the Times Picyanose. They give you a good, long RSS list (the DA & MA often list only 10 titles) and the titles are usually self-explanatory.

Yeah, unfortunately that's about the ONLY thing da TP is good at.

Doesn't it usually say "Cajuns" when referring to men and "Lady Cajuns" when reffering to women? Thought it's always been like that. If your not sure, it usually become clear with the first or second sentence of the article.

I think it's ridiculous that Parrott comes in and does a great job at the DA and it still gets bashed. If I were him I would move on. His work may be better appreciated by another town/school. Most people here constantly bash the paper and he's done a great job of making the paper more pro UL.

I must admit that the DA coverage has gotten leaps and bounds better than it used to be. (Thanks Parrott). I got the Sunday edition and they had a whole page dedicated to UL football needs and players and schedule and such. I am pleased with the turnaround for sure.

Josh never entered my mind because we have been told on this board in the past (by DA writers) that they don't make their own headlines.

So I considered it a small request.
