2014 Branding Fiasco: UL-Lafayette or UL-L (SBC Reference Guide)

[ZoomZoom]

Now that the initial sting is numb, I know nobody has stated such, but it does not take a Mensa membership to take under consideration the high probability T-Joe was squeezed politically. And we probably will never know by who or when. T-Joe cannot say squat about it.

That said, speak it, wear it, live it. University of Louisiana.

Hammer, have you heard about an effort to organize some type of protest on the name situation at the signing day celebration? Your post indicates that may be the case.

No. I just think TJoe is naive to think he can just remain silent on this matter and expect it to go away. If that is the course of action he takes I believe he will be peppered with questions from Cajun fans if he shows up at the signing day bash. It would be better to get out in front of this now and clear the air.

Can he clear it up? Is he being pressured from ULS, and politician? You gotta pretty much keep your mouth shut on that. That is when you leak stuff so there is not direct source.

If not he has no viable answer for this total can of worms. I mean if he thought this was an internal thing only for SBC stats, and NCAA records then it lines right up there with the pinky promise to not leave the SBC that he and Farmer claim they believed. In that event you really want to play stud poker with those two guys.

There are many decisions and actions that fall in between doing nothing/being silent... and stepping so far out of the political bounds of his job that he either causes greater damage to the university or places his position in peril.

I hope there are no protests during signing day ... that is a day of celebration for the recruits.

Maybe someone persuasive, wordsmith talent, can write an effective opinion piece for the Advertiser.

I understand your point about the purpose of the day. However, that's what the Emperor counts on, the discretion of the peasants. It allows him to show up only at the celebratory events and bask in the glory while dodging the tough questions.

You are correct. That would not be the place or time for that.

So if TJoe stays in the bunker coming out only for celebratory events when would be the right place or time? And before you suggest letters he has not responded to several e-mails.

[CajunRed]

I'm not saying he shouldn't be approached to the side...but a public demonstration on the biggest day for some of these kids' lives is not the day to do this. At some point he will walk away from the event. Approach him then. He also has an office. Approach him there.

---EXACTLY----DO NOT DO ANYTHING that in anyway can screw with recruiting---It can easily be misconstrued by the kids and helped along by willing foes to advance a negative---Do NOT do something stupid!!!! re-read Cajun Red's post!!!!

We have three home basketball games before signing day. I do not know where T Joe sits or how often he attends those games. I presume he does as he attended the RCAF pre season basketball banquet. Someone could challenge him about this at one of the games. I am pretty sure he will be at the ESPN game against WKU next Saturday as I believe the football team will be honored for winning the conference at halftime.

Believe me that this is not the time for anything to screw with recruiting---stop it --after Feb 6th if that is the date, do your deal!!! OK just think what HUD would think of your idea!!!! CAtch your heads!!!
