2012 New Orleans Bowl

[CajunNation]

We lost big Fred Moore to Southern Missnot good so far, how did we lose him i have no idea

We have a dump for a stadium.

We are stuck in the SBC.

We have zero name recognition.

[CajunNation]

There are no indications anywhere that any conference currently cares about either performance on the field or actual people at games.

That is true.

However, this does not mean that WE shouldn't or can't care about performance, attendance, and facilities.

While I know that most of the people here will never convert to the Dark Side with me and go Indy, there is no reason we can't have an Indy mentality in the SBC or, a Big-12 mentality in the SBC.

We need to foster the attitude among the Cajun Nation that we are merely a major program in exile, and act like it, schedule like it, and support like it.

Then, one day, we WILL wake up with a major program's fanbase, attendance, facilities, and respect.

You don't have to be in the Big-12 to kick arse like you are a member of the Big-12.

And none of that had much to do specifically with Fred Moore

Anyone have any sound bytes from the radio broadcast? Would love to hear Jay call some of the pivotal plays.

[wcd35]

They're replaying it this week. Friday I think

No, but that extra $20,000,000, and auto scheduling with Big XII schools sure would make it easier.

Thanks

Really? What makes you so sure?

[wgwillis]

Boy, is this thread starting off negative and for what reason? Lets hope our coaches don't feel the way the poster on this thread.

[RedTails]

Looks like he's from Mississippi. Some kids probably like to play as close to home as possible. That's how we win recruiting battles in some cases.

[CajunRed]

Really? What makes you so sure?

It was for personal reasons. And I agree with Willis. I can't think that negatively about recruiting. I have confidence that Hud and staff will deliver on recruits and we will be fine.

[CajunRebel]

I don't think we've ever had a better group of atheletes playing football at UL. Our coaching staff managed to do that despite the crappy stadium, name recognition, etc. if there's one thing I'm not worried about it's recruiting. Hud will deliver the goods.

[Turbine]

How has this 2nd New Orleans bowl helped us in landing those all important high school athletes?

Keeps the UL brand on the table and I can promise you every targeted recruit was watching.

Mammoth crowd shots need to be all over any DVD or eoVid link that Hud sends the targets.

[RaginScotsman]

Hud will deliver come signing day.
