Well I can't say the exact bank that John Bordelon and Rusty Cloutier and other big UL supporters are with but I do know that the Patout Brothers at Gulf Coast Bank which is mostly in Vermilion parish are HUGE ULers---HUGE---They have done the N O Bowl promotion and are T-gating and attend all the games----BTW our State FARM good neighbor bear in the office is decked out in his Cajun hat and shirt!!!!

I was in Bowling Green a few months back for a few days with an interview. When I checked in to the hotel, come to find out that the 3 new Corvettes in the parking lot were prototype 2015 models headed to the Corvette factory outside of BG...I would guess the 2014's are on the assembly line now. I didn't have time to go, but if its anything like the BMW plant in South Carolina, take a plant tour and see the museum, its an afternoon well spent. Even sweeter if they have a test track there to take one out for a 130 mph spin.

Mrs Raoul was making a deposit at our branch bank when she was offered an LSU Tiger towel as a free gift. She said she was a Cajun graduate and supporter and asked if they had a Cajun towel. She was told "Sorry, we only have Tiger towels" Anybody else have this experience? They told her they had other complaints about it

Several years ago, Chase Bank through out Lafayette was told to do a "school to the east" promotion. I knew the manager at the Southpark branch. She told me that there were so many complaints that they went to UL and picked up a pile of the "Geaux Cajuns" signs and put them up at every drive through and the lobby. That just shows what can be done when people are motivated.

I'm no LSU or Cap One bank fan, but you have to hand it to them, its a great marketing idea for Cap.One Bank. I'm willing to bet that there are other Cap One Regional Bank bases in the country that are doing the same thing with other universities. I can't believe someone thought it was a "local" bank. What's in your wallet?

Exactly. Cap One made a great LSU debit card with the team in a huddle before the game. Cap One also could not do the Saints logo, but the created a veru nice fluer dis les debit card in black and gold.I have that one. Give me a bank to do that with the Cajuns on it and I will move my money. Again, it's all marketing and we have very little of it.

Are there any auto dealerships that are particularly loyal to the Cajuns? There are several here in New Orleans marketing directly to A&M fans, which only serves to limit my choices. I'd like to support a dealer who supports us. Any tips?

I would give Frank Malambri a call or e-mail at www.espn1420.com ask him if he can send you a list of the radio booster club. I'm sure he would be glad to send it to you after you explain to him that you want to support the sponsors. I think you will find Service Chev. and Acadiana Dodge along with a few other auto dealerships that I can't remember. I wish they would put the list up on their web site (they may have but I have not been able to find it).

What about that all LSU dental group that is always on TV? If u don't want to go with a local bank, try Chase. I'm not aware of them taking any sides.

I have no problem with the Cap One promotion. However, it should be limited to the greater B.R. area and not in OUR back yard!
