Shreveport Times Blog says we are threatening Indy Board members

[MiamiCajun32]

comparing the number of fans of a high school that will travel to North Louisiana to the number of fans from UL that would have traveled to their first D-1 bowl game is laughable. it is even more laughable to think that maybe NIU will provide more fans.

Shouldn't someone publicly oppose this rediculous post? (If unfounded, of course)

_ Shreveport,ok with Crack and gangs but Catholic Cajuns,N E V E R!
Cajuns beat Tulsa w/ Brian Mitchell who did the I-Bowl invite T U L S A!
Why don't we give Shreveport to Arkansas. _

You cannot do it. We are trying to give Arkansas Memphis (a city that uses 40% of all state funding in Tennessee).

How 'bout you give them Shreveport, and we'll send Memphis up the river to Louisiana ?

Speaking of Jimmah Watson, that guy should be fired for that outlandish piece of shoddy journalism. That is an embarrassment to any Gannett-owned paper, I would hope.

Wonder what Jimmah has to say about Cajun people in private if he'll write this in a paper?

This moron is a complete jacka s s and always has been. But LOUISIANA fans, don't fret. No one North OR South of Shreveport gives a dam about Watson's blog, or the team he represents... My first reaction was to get mad, but a level headed individual would realize the alterrior motives behind his comments..

Another thing... When people resort to public attacks, those attacks are rooted in deeper origins.. FEAR! Schools around this state or PETRIFIED of whats brewing down here.. THE University of LOUISIANA is on the brink!

Yeah, it sure seems he is trying to bait people to threaten him so he can say, "see, I told you". We just have to show more class, which doesn't seem to difficult. Nice try jimmy, but we see through your lies. And if anyone isn't sure he is a liar, just remember that the proof is in the pudding.

I see very little advantage to the Indy or Shreveport in continuing to fan our flames. They got what they wanted, we didn't. _

When does something need to have an advantage for Shreveport to continue doing it? I thought the only requirements were that it was either a)gang related, b) required many blue tarps, or c) was juvenile in nature.

It sounds as though Jimmie received some very rude and obnoxious emails on the Top 28 Tournament. I cannot believe anyone of sound mind would send an email threatening his life, which is just ridicules. While I?m no fan of Mr. Watson and found some of comments about Cajun athletics condescending, I don?t see how such actions help the reputation of the Cajun fan base.

How does this bug masher tie whatever allegedly happened in connection with the Top 28 to UL fans disappointed with the Independence Bowl selection process and speaking their minds about it? Sounds like a huge distortion to me.

Hey Mr Watson, nobody with a grain of sense anywhere in this country calls LATEX "Tech". VoTech maybe.

_ Well he has been opinionated before.

"Lafayette has the blue coats. We've got the red coats, and they've been successful in putting on a pretty darn good Independence Bowl for more than 30 years."

Well, I guess 2008 puts an end to that streak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
