I don't think we're asking for him to publically trash the SBC. Most of what we heard from Scott (until the Buckley interview) was that the SBC was the place for us to be. I suppose we would have liked to hear what he said in TB's interview much sooner. Much more action, and a lot less reaction.
Like I said in my earlier post I agree that Farmer's communication with the fanbase has been poor. That Buckley interview should have taken place a year ago. Better yet he shouldn't have had to wait for a reporter to drag all this info out of him. He should have come out with an open letter or a press release on his own outlining UL's position on conference realignment and what he was doing to put UL in a better position.
Yes.
But it was kind of like picking up a chick at the bar. You use your best lines but she was never interested in you because she heard from a friend how small your media market was. Then she walks up to FIU and FAU. They're both fat and ugly but they have enormous media markets. She's just one of those girls who likes a big media market. So all you can do is go home and curse the fact that you were born with such a tiny media market.
Or, make sure you are buff, and not the slightest bit unkept. Plain and simple he talks in vagaries and obscure vision of what he wants. It is not enough to say I want to be a stud, you have to get in the gym even if you are only 5'7".
RCAF is a great gym to workout in, but you still gotta hit the free weights. I get the feeling he is walking around looking at a lot of mirrors.
Don't play me with that BS, son. Tech doesn't have 20 million dollars in their athletic budget, they got in by stretching the truth. We weren't prepared for all this.then they were stunned that people were ____ed when we got passed overHAHA!! Look, we might have one more shot.maybe It doesn't happen, you and your buddies will have Cajun Field all to your self Just so I'll know next time I walk into Corner Bar on Friday afternoon which side of the table do you sit on??

Somehow there is a Sigmund Freud theory in this posting!
See that's what I don't get. Farmer was instrumental in starting and growing the RCAF and recently hired this guy who is a fundraising specialist. Our budget has increased every year Farmer has been at the helm. Yet people still feel he isn't doing enough to raise the budget.
Again you can find many legitimate things to criticize Farmer for but this is not one of them.
Mr. Farmer does get unfairly slammed sometimes.
He could help his cause a bit though if he chose his words a tad more wisely.
For instance on more than one occasion he has stated he intends to be ready when the other conferences come calling.
I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way. They will call the ones they have on speed dial and you only get on speed dial by gauging and engaging ahead of time.
"Louisiana 1Call" "Call before! . . . You dig?"
Enjoy Tiger Stadium. I hear LSU is in an awesome conference and they do pretty good for themselves. You'll like it there. You'll just need to get used to wearing purple and gold. No one looks good in purple and gold.
As for me I've been through the Baldwin years and never thought of not supporting UL. It will take a lot more than a horrible conference to change that.
