NCAA 6th Fan Challenge (poll)

[cajun4life]

No, what you are saying is that there are limits to what you will do to support this athletic program. You can take the time to vote for a uniform contest that does nothing more than show that you know how to vote in a fan poll, but when an organization offers you free money to do exactly what you did when you voted for a uniform, you want to give excuses for why you don't want to vote.

You are turning this thread into something more than it needs to be. I understand your aggravation with the administration on the name issue, and I can even agree with it to a certain extent. But the administration is not asking you to vote in this contest, the NCAA is, and they are willing to pay you and the university to do so. Put aside your anger long enough for this university to at least get $10,000 (top 16) and then see if you want to try for the $100K. If you feel that is too much to ask, then I genuinely feel sorry for you.

You think that I actually care about the name? I was an athlete at USL. I liked USL, in fact I preferred it. I am not happy because we have politicians instead of leaders. Who accept mediocrity and refuse to stand for what they preach. instead they cave to political pressure because they are politicians.

I will sell your organs.

Last day of the contest. I can't believe that you're going to allow Monroe to beat us in this money contest.

This is the admin's fundraising solution. Instead of hiring A competent professional to replace Ken Winstead, they have appointed Deacon to scour the net for "contests" such as this to raise funds. That way, when they have to downsize projects due to lack of funds, they can blame us rabble rousers on Ragin Pagin.
