UL vs LSU (pregame)

[STPacronym]

I've gone to every UL game (Fball, basketball and baseball) in BR the last several years wearing all Red and have never heard a negative word toward me. Not saying they don't have any dumb@$$e$ wandering around over there, but I haven't encountered any. From what I've learned is if you act like your supposed to, you'll be alright.

Call em STATE. They hate that.

Just a quick note.. hopefully everyone will welcome our opponent's fan base tomorrow with warm hospitality. I know some people here despise everything LSU has ever stood for, but tomorrow let us remember that our feud is with LSU's administration, not their fan base.

We will have plenty of Louisiana Greeks out there tomorrow, who have been taught to hate LSU and their fans. I've witnessed this, and when I ask our fellow Greeks why the bitter hate, all I get is "because he/she went to LSU". We can be much classier, and we must teach our Greeks to do the same. If you see LSU fans getting hassled by a bunch of drunk embarrassments to this university, pull the purple and gold to your tent and offer them a beer and sunflower seeds.

Even more than that, this is not football. Besides the respect which college baseball demands by itself, remember these are not your run of the mill, angsty football fanatics who will be coming tomorrow. Our visitors tomorrow are likely to be the family and friends of our neighbors in Lafayette. Show them the Better side of the Basin.

Let's have an unforgettable game tomorrow, Geaux Cajuns, and in the words of John Fogerty, "Put me in, coach!"

My dispute with LSU administration is minor compared to fans. Let me recall LSU administration doing whatever they can to remain above everyone else. Not nice. LSU fan sucker punched me, and later got showered with something wet from above in Tiger Stadium.

No, no not all fans are total idiots but enough to find them to be complete a holes. Now maybe you think I should only be upset with the puncher and the tosser of liquid. Well I can assure you while the vast majority do not do that, they certainly condone it, and chuckle about it.

Now please, I understand you want us to be civil and all that, do not lecture the Cajun fans on how and what they should be and do. We actually have a security force that enforces excessive behavior by Cajun fans, but not so at LSWHO.

A quick look and a very basic Daktronics 20' scoreboard will set you back about 13K plus shipping, installation etc. and this isn't close to the scoreboard that we would want to install. Add an LED video display and you definitely are beyond the 50K mark and I suspect much higher than that but couldn't find any reliable data.

No doubt it is time for an upgrade.

We can raise that in no time. We just need numbers..... This isn't difficult to do.

1 golf tournament = new scoreboard

Not showing anything about it on ESPN3 site

This is what is so frustrating, it is like we have this wall of steel between us and the athletic department. I mean how difficult is it to publicize this is what we are thinking of and bam donations start flying in. No one is going to give blindly unless they are filthy rich!

How about doing TWO seperate 50/50's at the home baseball games. Have one called in the 5th and one called in the 9th. The first pot, half goes to baseball program as always and the other half goes to the winning ticket number as always. But, on the second go-round, have half go to the scoreboard fund and the winning ticket holder....?

This alone will raise over $2500 per weekend series

How about another jersey auction?

What about hosting a jambalaya, gumbo, chili, bbq cookoff of some sort on an away series. Have it on the Saturday morning at the Tigue and have the game being run through the Tigues' PA system. Make an entry fee of "X" amount with all proceeds going to the scoreboard fund.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT....may be too complex though????

We couldn't get the hardware in place in time to get the transmission to ESPN so we had to drop it off the schedule.

The game will still be streamed live on ragincajuns.com.
