*I am unsure why you always bring up graduation rates? Explain to me why you are so worried about the graduation rates. so what if lsu's graduation rates are higher, it's still a tier 3 school. all that means is that even if you're the hottest piece of ____ on the block, you're still a piece of ____.

Why do I get the feeling that ET is going to end up wearing a straightjacket in a padded cell?

His obsession with us is borderline stalker-ish. Trolling the boards, looking for the stray poster that allows him to yell "liar, liar, pants on fire."

It must make him feel better about himself. Ya'know. Therapy. He needs lots of it.

Don't mock him. Pity him.

Pity him for not being able to enjoy his own programs success, when they have them.

Pity him for always looking over his shoulder at what we are doing. Even though we'll "never" be his equal.

Pity him for not understanding that we would never wish to trade places with him.

Pity him because we sure don't envy him.

Look, LSU has winning record against UL in every major, except maybe softball. LSU is not scared to play UL in anyting b/c it constantly wins.

LSU had the number 2 pick in the draft last yr, beat Duke, beat TX AM, and beat TX to make it to the final four. That alone is more than ULL has achieved if one adds all of its athletic accomplishments together.

I would bet my student loan balance that LSU would dominate the belt this yr. The Skunk belt is joke and the fact that you losers constantly to tout it as anything but is pathetic.

If is LSU just a piece of crap, then ULL is a giant pile of crap b/c is certainly a lot better than UL.

ULL actually loses more students than it gradautes, where is the accountibility at that school?

How do you suggest that UL be more accountable for students leaving? what would you do to change it if you ran this joint?

I am not sure what your problem with UL is. Your constant cries of UL's pathetic existance makes me wonder why you even bother. If we are so small, then i am curious why you care. Who cares if UL fans are UL fans and why do you think that it is your job to "keep us in check"? And your thoughts that UL is a bigger pile of crap because LSU is better is in large part an opinion. When people here say that LSU sucks, its for several reasons. for example, ________ fans like you who give that school such a bad name. I could go on but that's not the point.

the point is that you are critical of a public school. you are critical of an entity that is controlled by a larger entity, which controls everything the school does. The school doesn't control how much money it recieves, it doesn't control how high it can set its admitting standards, it doesn't control how high it can set tuition, it doesn't control any major decision that is made. (and don't give me crap about us not being treated fairly and we don't desreve it or whatever, because every other school in the state is penalized in the same fashion, all for the benefit of one school).

And the biggest thing that gets me is that all of this criticism is from an lsu "alum". You made a choice to go to lsu, and i'd be willing to bet that choice was made before ANY admissions requirements were created. So your going to that school doesn't entitle you to anything special, and it sure doesn't entitle you to the right to criticize people who went to or are fans of another school, although you think it does. You didn't graduate from Harvard, nor were you subjected to some sort of intense mental or physical training. You said, I think i'll go there.

Wow! You have student loans? Are you really old enough to be in college? Because from the maturity level of your posts, I'd say you are around 4 years old.

ET? Where are you? I expect answers to my questions. did they block you from posting, again? Go ahead and send me a private message. supposedly, you are somewhat educated, so i assume that you have the ability to make arguments and discuss things with people. Maybe not. Perhaps all you can do is run around making meaningless statements.

Actually, ________, I was accepted to LSU, USL and Tulane in HS. I went to the Army instead. When I got out of the army, I decided to attend USL b/c I like Lafayette and wanted to live there.

I went to USL and majored in finance and it sucked, frankly. The school had no identity, it was a commuter school and seemed to resemble LSU-E more than LSU and Tulane. No one on campus cared about the school, the only thing people talked about was the strip and going out ( Fall of '96). NO school spirit at all. And this was the year that USL beat A&M. The business school was terrible, the building was run down and it did not offer many sections of required classes.

So I transferred to LSU. I loved it. LSU has a southern school identity, big into sports, strong Greek system and college style social system. More classes and sections and generally a better program. That is now supported by USNews, and the WSJ rankings.

SO, unlike most of the people on this board, I have been to both schools and can compare the two.

Anyway, Kal claimed that LSU does not want to play ULL b/c LSU is afraid of them. BUt LSU has crushed them the last two times the two have played, why would the LSU coaches be afraid to play a team that they routinely stomp?

You guys are fools, you make up lies to satisfy your belief that USL is better than it is, you change the name of the school in articles written by others, block people who point out your lies and you are just plain delusional.


And the majority of your incoming freshmen are not smart enough to graduate.

At least you can't make the legitimate claim that the Pentathlam is lie.

As far as board consistency with focus names is concerned, here is a post you might be interested in. LINK

I got to UL, then USL, a couple of years after you left and saw it in a completely different light. After first attending LSU in 97' I left to come to USL. Frankly, I thought LSU sucked. The environment was impersonal. Almost everyone I met was self centered, arrogant, and could talk of nothing other than LSU. I didn't want to be part of an institution that had so many supporters with that arrogant heir of superiority.

When I got to U(s)L I loved the close knit environment, got a great education, made some great friends including my wife. Point being, our personal experiences shape our opinions. Expecting your personal experience to sway our personal opinions is, well, unintelligent.

Neither school is perfect, both have their strong points, and both need work in particular areas.

The difference between us is that I don't categorize all LSU fans the way you categorize UL fans. I have good friends who are LSU alums and fans. They don't walk around with an heir of superiority, and, being members of the Lafayette community, attend UL events from time to time. I try to give everybody a shot first rather than painting them with character traits before I get to know them.

Do you have some kind of internal issue that makes you lash out at an entire university? Your posts here seem to be entirely negative. That seems to be an immense waste of time. I hope you can sort out your issues.

The point of my original post was the Kal was lying. He claimed that LSU was afraid to play ULL in basketball b/c ULL might win. BUt LSU has destroyed ULL in basketball the last several times they played each other. SO the premise of post was an outright lie and totally illogical.

My view of ULL is that it is a commuter school and stomping mat in sports. Most people in the state of Louisiana and the southern US feel the same. Most people outside of the south have never heard of UL-Lafayette and if it is mentioned to them, view it as akin to Southern Ill or Middle Tn.

That does not mean one can't get a decent education and have a good time going to school there. But it is not LSU and will never be or even compare to it. No matter lies Cajunfun, Hammer58 and the other kool-aid drinkers make up.

I agree with you that LSU would be very difficult for the Cajuns to beat in basketball. But, the posters on this board can say whatever they want. I'm sure you can find some interesting, and wishful, posts on LSU message boards.

I don't think many posters here want to be like LSU. Your opinion that UL "will never compare" to LSU is just that, an opinion. I think that UL compares favorably with LSU in many aspects including those outlined in my previous post.

And yes, UL is currently a "stomping mat"--in some sports--for larger athletic programs like the majority of those in the SEC. However, that doesn't mean that UL fans cannot support, talk about, and enjoy the current and future success of the university's athletics. We're doing fine here. Your "know your place" argument is tired.
