UL/Louisiana Branding

[TrackDemon]

Yep that's it. I know nothing about "Louisiana sports." What I do know is that in the 5 games I went to at the Tigue this year, the stands were not half filled. Maybe I'm just used to a truly loyal fan base at the Box that shows up every weekend.

That's not even remotely true. When LSU wins they pack it in, but the second LSU loses the Box is half empty for weekend series at the box.

Against Houston the box was half empty for the last 3-4 innings because the bandwagon fans abandoned ship. LAst night the Cajuns stayed till the end and the place was packed.

The whole "tickets sold" thing at LSU counts corporate tickers whether anyone is actually using those seats or not.

LSU fan base isn't loyal, they abandon ship at the first sign of trouble.

TD, this meathead is Exhibit A as to why the other ULS schools are aiming their barbs in the wrong direction when they target UL as their enemy. UL has not tried to hinder the growth of any other ULS university. The same cannot be said of State and some of its fans.

Yep, LSU is terrified. ULL has made a single CWS appearance, it was 14 years ago, and they watched LSU dogpile in that same year. ULL football has scored a total of six points against LSU since 1925, has never mustered a single win in the 112 year season history, but "that is changing." But hey, you "own LSU" in softball, another sport in which ULL enjoys an empty trophy cabinet. These things all add to the pure terror which LSU faces when its fans wake up and think about that school down the road for people who didn't have the grades to go into LSU.

And when we talk about budgets, don't forget the fact that LSU athletics is 100% self funded while ULL is a leech on the taxpayers of the citizens of Louisiana.

Terrified.

LSU's athletics weren't always self-sustaining. Much of Tiger Stadium was constructed with state tax dollars.

In fact, only about 10 percent of D-1 athletic institutions are self-sufficient.

Congrats to LSU for being able to accomplish that. It is something our athletic program should strive for.

However, you're still a dip____ and represent the trash, classless side of your fanbase.

[CajunSaint]

The bloated king leach that sucked this state dry for decades to build its empire now wants to admonish others for the. Crumbs we get. Typical.

Go ____ yourself.

and it's the same old false argument used to declare that LA A&M is self-funded. who initially paid for the athletics complex that provided its venues for success? the good ole LA taxpayers.

I think the thing people dont realize is that the majority of the state is like me. I have lsu football season tickets since 2000. I attend alot of lsu baseball games too. But guess what I have been to alot of cajun football games and often both schools on the same day when lsu plays at the dreaded morning kickoff. I enjoy following both and listen to 1420 am most of the day and love hearing Jay Walker call a game I dont hate anybody I pull for both now if they play each oyher I am for lsu but if lsu is not in the game I go for the cajuns I dont care what they are ul, ull, louisiana I just enjoy sports and in state sports. I think when you hear the hatred its a smaller group than you think on this site and tigerdroppings its grouped as all lsu fans say this.....no they dont its the 50 people on that site posting dumb crap and same thing on here most people are neutral. Guess what? I graduated from Nicholls and even played ball there a few years but it isnt nearlly as exciting as cajun and lsu games are. Everybody doesnt have so much hatred as it seems reading a messgae board.

As we keep winning, more and more come out of the woodworks. Take a stroll over to KATC's facebook page. As the threat becomes larger, the true side of those fans breaks thru. You sir, if this post is genuine, are quickly becoming the minority.

[Cajunboy74]

My post is genuine. But I know alot of people who are like me. I also know people who hate ul and who hate lsu and those groups are extremely ugly about it. The people I know who like both is the majority remember those who post on social media feel the strongest neutral people dont want the argument.

The majority is certainly silent.

There are two types, readers who never register and registered who rarely post.

On just the first type they often (any given moment) outnumber registered 5-to-1
The silent majority on RP often out numbers

Haha I love this guy. "school down the road for people who didn't have the grades to get into LSU." Lsu hasn't had anything remotely special about academics in about 25 years. It has fallen behind UL so bad that y'all have to try and keep up with our admission standards.

You must feel really cool that you donate 15% of your worthless salary to TAF just so you can "be in the know", but in retrospect you don't do anything for the program.

Now go on, retort back with one of your snarky elitist jag off statements to make us feel like we're under you.

I'm all ears, you miserable cumstain on a spec of dust.

As someone who went to both schools and has a degree from both schools, I will tell you LSU was no harder to prepare for than UL and in fact, I felt that I got a better education at UL by a longshot over LSU. Quite frankly, LSU was highly overrated for the college experience and I had a lot more fun at UL and met a lot more people at UL than I did in my time at LSU.

Bunch of -fumble- ULL fans. Keep leeching on the state tax dollar teat!!! ULL has been doing it 114 years now. LSU not so much buddy!
