Forced Fake Rivalry Becoming a Reality

[NewsCopy]

Back in mid-July, at the Sun Belt Conference's football Media Day in New Orleans, ULM quarterback Kolton Browning was asked if he thought from a fan's perspective that ULM and the UL Ragin' Cajuns really are rivals.

Browning, whose Warhawks visit the idle-this-week Cajuns on Nov. 30 at Cajun Field, did not hesitate with his answer.

“When Lafayette comes here, ..."

Send that _____ home on a stretcher!

ULM is more of an impediment to our intended goal. Browning talks about the crazy fans?? Yeah, because 70% are Cajuns when we are in Moanroe and 110% percent in Lafayette.
I like this kid because of his toughness and blind loyalty to a second rate University. Unfortunately he is surrounded by a sub par cast and very marginal coaching.

With our goal in sight and within reach, if we don't roll in this game....shame on us.

When their D-line is worn to bits in the 3rd quarter and the Prophet and Zo are running at will on them, the sound of the anouncer saying "Another LOUISIANA, first down" will be like another invisible hit pushing their faces in the dirt after the play.

the cajuns will knock the ever living ____ out of Browning.. I respect him as a player but he plays for the enemy and deserves to taste the turf of CAJUN FIELD multiple times

This game is a rivalry like the rivalry I had last week with a cockroach I discovered lurking in my kitchen. I was excited to step on him and listen to that sound he made as his thin exoskeleton cracked and snapped, squeezing his nasty insides out. And sure... after I wiped the Tabby off my foot... I drank some Makers on the rocks and danced around my kitchen in my thong... but I don't think that cockroach was my "rival".

Until we get out of the SBC, we're going to have an infestation of cockroaches. Let's not regress and call them "rivals". And this upcoming battle with the war roaches... is just another extermination in our way to our SBC championship.

I always tell my team ahead of crushing another roach... "Don't underestimate a roach... prepare and be ready for them... they are ugly, sneaky, germ-carrying, crack-dwelling critters... but if you turn your back on them... they'll try and eat your groceries... Don't let them eat your groceries!". I've always felt that speech rivaled anything Vince Lombardi or Bear Bryant ever told his team.

Getting out of the Conference will help, but as long as we are called UL-Monroe and UL-Lafayette, we will always be associated with each other on a national level. If we went 12-0 and they went 0-12 we will still be associated with them because of our names. This is why the name thing is so vital. I freakin hate cockroaches.

I think we have much more "options" of branding ourselves distinctly, if we are no longer in the same conference. A lot of concessions are being made solely due to being in the same conference. We are building significant distinctions between our programs (and institutions) each and every day. If we can only pull off getting out of the conference we share, much of the branding issue will disappear.

I hate cockroaches. I have an all time disgusting story about a cockroach. I'll never tell it on here... some people on here would never be the same.

Hey Kolton, Ice Up Son!

[SlickRick]
