Sunbelt poll

Aim low sheriff, they're riding Shetlands...

I suspect that the schools that eventually get into the Belt do not want to be there when it all breaks up next year.

It won't all break up, but I do believe that the NBE, MWC, and CUSA will each end up adding several new members. As long as UL gets a spot in one of those, we'll be fine. Anyone still in the Sun Belt when this ends won't continue to play at the FBS level for long.

Want to know the saddest part? The "leaders" of this university just don't get it. They take money from athletics to fund academics when athletics is the best advertising your university can get. Athletics increases admissions, creates brand awareness, and increases donations to the alumni association. Pride?! Duh.

When is the last time 50,000 people drove hours, booked hotel rooms, packed restaurants and drank the French Quarter dry to see an English professor? Duh?!

That's the EXACT same thing people say about us.

Sorry we have an airport right here and we have interstate that runs from Houston to New Orleans if you do not want to fly into Lafayette. It is much easier to get here than is Boone, North Carolina. Beautiful country around Boone, but you have to be going there to get there.

Geaux Cajuns!!

That's the EXACT same thing people say about us.

Absolutely untrue. They say derogative things about UL, but that is not one of them. Do you know why Lafayette is referred to as the Hub City? We have one of the easiest vehicular paths east/west and north/south in Louisiana... if not the southern states.

It won't all break up.

Mass exodus at least.

Since I'm already in tomorrow, here's a bump for ya, Z.

[Zeebart21]

Will this nightmare ever end?????? Dr Savoie, you're up. Waiting on you. I still think you will come through and get UL in a better position. I'm trying to think positive here, and I don't want to over stress anyone reading this.

Got up to pee. Bump
