The Rage Cage

[BrudaCajun]

_ thanks for undermining my study habits and my need for an education...im actually so busy with school it is ridiculous. I have 19 hours of class, i have an internship that i have to work 10 hours per week, i have 4 final projects that are due all at the same time, all of which require outside research (not just sitting at a computer looking up stuff on the internet), i graduate in 6 weeks and im trying to get into another college for january, i also have a job that i work for money because my internship is volunteer hours for school, and if i dont work between 20 and 25 hours per week i cant afford to pay bills...like rent, LUS, cable, credit card = gas card, and food. for god sakes, this game meant nothing. im not going to request off of work for an exhibition game against MILSAPS...are you retarded?
so, for you to say....you never missed an EXHIBITION GAME AGAINST A NOBODY! i find that hard to believe...not to mention i also had 2 tests this week. so, unless you know how to find more time in the day for me to accomplish all of this and then go to a game i knew we would win by a good margin, then be my guest and let me know what to do.

Thank you _

So my gf takes 19 hrs, works 32 hrs/wk and has to volunteer at a Dentist office for 8 hrs/wk. So stop crying Now me, I took the semester off. Sooooooo.... good luck Hat

_ you must not be a current student...and sorry you are old and have money unlike the rest of us...we all try to go to as many UL games and other stuff as we can...when ever i have a real job and out of UL ill be at more things like most alumni are...cant wait for that day either _

I was a student and never missed a game, including exhibitions and that was before there was such a fine facility like the Cajundome - which today's student doesn't fully appreciate.

My typical schedule back then - commute for 40 minutes, go to classes at 8, 9, 10, & 11 a.m., commute another 40 minutes, work from 1:00 to 6:00, commute 40 minutes to play intramural basketball or floor hockey, or attend a basketball game, brews at Bike Rack, Keg, JR's, etc., commute 40 minutes, study, do it again tomorrow. Then work on Saturday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (by the way - it was dirty, sweaty, greasy hard labor - not sitting behind a computer or sitting behind a cash register and reading a book most of the time)

Some semesters I was fortunuate to schedule 5 classes all on MWF. Then I would work from 2:00 - 6:00 on those days and 6:00 - 6:00 on TuThSa.

I am now 46 and I'm sure that only a handful of students could keep up with me.

cajun1300 vs. "the rage cage" greco-roman style is the only way to settle this I'm afraid...

Humorous observation:

We rip on athletes who lose their eligibility because they are too lazy to take care of business in the classroom.

We rip on students who don't blow off their studies so they can go watch those athletes.

Nope, no disconneect there!!

_ Just wanted to thank all 25 students for showing up at the basketball game last night. I'm so happy that we are naming the section for them. Not gonna be much "Rage" in the "Rage Cage" if the students don't go!!!! _

I just want to thank all 50 season ticket holders for showing up. Don't fuss at just the students, there were many empty season ticket holder seats.

I went to a "RAGE IN THE CAGE" GAME AT THE Cage Dome about 20 years ago. Forget who we played but remember the name.

Glad to see that you even noticed that we outnumbered the students. BUt the fact is you are arguing that the students will show up when the season really kicks off, after school is out, etc. But the fact is that last year, at the end of the season, there was very little fans in the student section or sitting behind the goal. And if I remember right we were on a pretty good winning streak and fighting for the SBCW title. I will give it to the guys who are always there and standing behind the cheerleaders. They don't miss many games. But the students in general do a poor job of attending games for the entire season. In fact, it has been that way for a few years now.

BTW....For the student crying about all the class work he has.....I graduated from UL in 2004 and I didn't have any problems with attending football, baseball, and basketball events and maintaining a good GPA. If you are struggling with time management in school, you may have a tough time after you graduate. You tend to have a little more on your plate.

I'm a season ticket holder but I sit in the student section, so it's my fault that the other side looked empty.

And what was it you graduated in? I'm not calling you out or anything but it is common knowledge that some majors require ALOT more work than others. Engineering is a ton of work... also any Visual Arts majors are constantly doing projects... so I don't think you can fairly say that you know what students are going through. However, I am a student and I don't miss a game.. so have no fear.. there are still some students out there that are die hards.. I've been going to games since I was a kid.. I'd go with my brothers when they were students and sit with them.. I know how great the student section used to be. I have a feeling the more we start winning, the more students will come.. give it time. I have a strong feeling that the dome will be packed by mid-season. This team has a ton of talent and they were on a roll last year.. they will carry it over to this year and have the same attitude. After we beat Tennessee and LSU on the road crowds will be gigantic.
