    Oh ye of little faith. While Pickens gave OSU tons of money, he did not buy all those suites and club seats. Thousands of smaller contributors did that.

    They know people are ready to give the money. Rusty Cloutier already laid out a low interest financing plan for them . The Admin has repeatedly failed to act.

    Our strategic plan expires in a year... wonder if we are redoing that as well?

    It is no secret the leaps and bounds we have made in the last 5 years. Try to have a little freaking patience and stop being so damn negative. My biggest pet peeve in a person's character is pessimism/negativity.
    It's also no secret that they've made major blunders repeatedly regarding conference realignment, fundraising, facility improvements, master plans etc. My biggest pet peeve in a person's character is blithely, blindly following incompetence and refusing to acknowledge reality.

    I know that, but thanks to letting everyone know. This was one of my fears when this thing got off the ground, that it would be totally under the UL administration with little autonomy.

    Still in order to encourage more donations I think a breakdown of what they are doing with the money, and what, and how they plan to use increased funding for would help. Transparency is the key in the 21st century. We have seen at all levels secrecy is a thing that is almost impossible to maintain, so just be transparent.

    When RCAF was first set up under the Foundation the reasons given was that the RCAF monies would be able to be used on paper to bolster the Foundations total giving which was supposed to an important measure for the vaunted "Tier 1" status. Yet Tier 1 status seems as elusive as the Master Plan.

    In hindsight, I would rather an independent RCAF.

    It's under the UL foundation and the admin appoints the board. We just give money and are not allowed a voice in choosing the leadership or direction of the foundation. When the RCAF was first announced we were so hungry for an athletic support organization that we didn't question it's structure.

    RCAF is just an updated Ragin'Cajun Club.

    Listening to Pat McDonald, Louie Lowry, Ken Meyers and Blaine Barrilleaux I cannot hear anything different in their presentation that I have not read on this board. "We have to donate". We all know that. The problem is how do we get the so call 90,000 allumni around this area to hear the message. The fan's sitting in the stands. Our next door neighbors, etc. I do not see any promotions at all other than this board. And the only one to hear it is the one's on this board. Case in point. My son works for a oil service company. I asked him last week end if anyone at the company office knew about the RCAF. One said, "something about the republican convention". Now this company is in the heart of Lafayette. The person he asked was one of the senior officers. My son said, "this is no joke Pop". The above mention members of the RCAF had better say more than we have to donate. Hell we know that......get the damn message out to the public. We just finish a football season, and a good one I may add. So let's start now, not in August.......

    John Bordelon is a good guy to have. Former USL player and appears to be pro-active with Cloutier and others in trying to move things along for us.

    But yeah...Savoie, Domingues, Hebert, Daigle...definitely old Authement/Blanco guard hanging around.
