I'm not sure if Michigan State is good this year but comparing scores usually doesn't mean a thing. Am I happy were 0-2? Heck NO! Am I ready to throw Hud and the team under the bus? Heck no! There was some doom and gloom talk last year after the OSU. Hud has earned my trust. Now if we tank this year and next year, I'll warm up the bus for you.
    Darn right HUD has earned your trust. So much so that you don't have season tickets. You should be features on "Come on Man" with NFL Countdown: "Big time supporter who has faith in his team and coach but missed first half because his computer froze while on Tickermasters website trying to purchase tickets. COME ON MAN!!!!"

    It's pretty simple. I live two hours away with a family. It's much cheaper and cost effective to buy tickets as needed. Never had a reason to do it any other way until this year. If we have another great season I will be getting season tickets next year. I'm a RCAF member and alumni. My daughter is currently in grad school teaching a course at UL. I never said I was a big time $upporter. I don't have the means. I'm not the only regular supporter on here that got the ticketmaster surprise. In a way I'm rather happy to have to pony up for season tickets. It's a much easier pitch to the wife.

    I'm a huge Saints fan since I can remember but I haven't been to a game since 2000. Spending $500 for the family to have 3 hours of entertainment just doesn't add up.

    I understand and not busting your chops about being a big monetary supporter, not everyone has the means to do so (including me). It just gets very old when the same old complaints are had about more butts in seats, nicer stadium, etc.... and we can't get some of the biggest complainers to buy season tickets. There are way too many people on this board playing the chicken and egg game which is why I rarely come on here any more. They'll spend 2 weeks arguing whether the chicken or the egg came first.

    Whether you like it or not the administration is making a move to do something, in this case it's phase 1 of the master plan. All of us may have different ideas of what should have been done but that's the same thinking that got nothing done over the few decades. And if someone strongly opposes it enough they should submit their resume to be considered for the AD's position. I'm not content with the progress we have made over the last couple of years but the majority of people need to realize we were the worst team in the country, or one of them, for years. Things don't happen overnight and we need people contributing routinely if things are to keep movin positively.

    I think I saw me on the replay----So many happenings that you forget the little bad things like the dropped KO return---then the 4th down fake punt dropped pass---the 3rd down and long situation where they got first downs---Why we kicked the ball to the right instead of trying to extend the TBs Stover had going (think he had the wind)!!!!

    I'm at work and Ragin Pagin is blocked so this is on a phone thus I'll be brief. I agree with eveything you have said. Things are moving in a positive direction at UL. Thank God for HUD! That's why I couldn't believe the negativity with the 0-2 start against the big boys. Disappointing yes end of the season no way. I guess in a way that in and of itself shows growth. Ten years ago we would be excited and speaking of moral victories.

    Once again, the negativity is directed at how we played and how uncompetitive the contests truly were versus actually losing to those teams. There's a big difference.

    I was dreaming of 2-0.

    I was hopeful we would split.

    I am disappointed in how poorly we played for the first 6 quarters. But you know what, those other two teams had scholarship athletes and high paid coaches too.


    I am over all of it and am ready for Saturday.

    I drive from Gonzales every home game, rain or shine. Now, I might be the only person in my group to go if it is raining, but my butt is there.

    I leave my house around 8AM, stop at in-laws, at stadium around 10AM, tailgate all day, game, back to in-laws, back home. Usually pull into driveway around 11PM-midnight for a 6PM kickoff.

    I know others on this board drive MUCH FARTHER than I do for every game! You can do it. You just have to make it more of a priority each game.

    Having family in the area is a big help. I now have family in the area. I thought about doing it this year because of that fact alone. I thought I didn't really have to make a decision this year because it was never a problem before. Everyone has reasons why they do or don't do things. I have a son still in high school but not old enough to drive that has functions on the weekend. He could careless about football in general. That too will change next year. It could be some me and my wife time. Winning has a way of taking care a lot of problems and decisions. When I go to a game I want good seats and preferably aisle seats. It seems now the only way to get those is through season tickets so barring something unforeseen, I will be a season ticket holder for the first time with any sports organization in my life.
