_ I was recently browsing facebook and noticed a "protest" event trying to be started for Saturday's game. Many students are upset that the great tailgating spots they once had are now "paid spots". Although some of us may not agree but understand that with sucess comes changes, they feel that it is breaking the biggest selling point / trad. that made students come out......it being free. In reaction to all this some students are trying to "black out" the Red Zone. How do yall feel about that? _

They need to suck it up. The spots are $50 and most of them are groups of 10 or more. Come up with the $5. If they won't come out because of that, then they aren't fans.

Wrong way to protest.....who are you protesting to, the players? What do they have to do with it?

Put on your red, and enjoy one of the best cajun teams ever......

I'm a student and me and my friends do it why can't they round up enough friends to put in to pay for it. This is a joke, I will be front and center with my red on.

I could see where some are upset. It's hard if not impossible to collect money from other college kids to pay for a spot, you will be dodged. They are in college, Full time student=part time job + rent + car bills + beer = broke. Plus there have been alot of extra fees tacked onto tuition so I could see how they could blackout.

Exactly. Not the first protest... not going to be the last. Definitely do not cut your nose off to spite your face. Wrong place, wrong way, wrong time.

The pay-for-tailgaiting situation calls for nothing more than being mildly upset. Anything more than that is an overreaction.

That being said, if they want to wear black UL stuff in "protest," then it doesn't bother me any. As long as it's not P&G or "Go Miners."

Or am I misunderstanding the term "black-out"?

For some reason students at UL use black to protest, I have seen it before. I will be there in my White and Vermillion

Regarding athletics, our students get one of the free-est rides out there.
