_ By the way I saw Scott Farmer being interviewed by the ESPN play by play guy at halftime while old Wimp took a food foodie break.

Anyone know what Scott told the TV audience? _

We have unlimited resources! You guys complaining about a lack of money need to find a new arguement. Also, our Womens BB coach inherited a rebuilding situation and is doing a good job.

Did he mention anything about how we're being kept down by the "Sun Belch" and "Baton Rouge"? Anything on getting rid of Cayenne or mitigating the embarrassment he causes us? Unis? Shoes? Socks? Or, maybe about the sky falling?

Nope, it was all Rainbows and Unicorns. He was pretty pumped by our "big run" at the end of the first half.

Scott has not been in Louisiana long enough to recognize the most fundamental law of the local economy. Our resources are directly related to the price of oil. He may not have noticed it has dropped $100 in the last six months. Although layoffs have not started yet, they are being discussed amongst the service sector side of the business. No way are our resources unlimited.

Now, if it had been me interviewed, I'da found a way to work in a compliment to Don's Seafood Hut on their oysters on the half shell and also suggest fans not bother shopping at Bell's right now for Cajun attire as stocks are depleted after the holidays.

I would have given a shout out to Best Stop and hinted at some BIG announcements being made in the future!

He should have said that our resources are "untapped"... not "unlimited". That would have been a massively understated fact. UL has one of the largest disconnected alumni... especially for a school that at its core is some serious "emotion". "All you have to do" to connect those alumni and get them to invest is to make them believe (know) that the old guard is not in charge of the money. PS The US has a national economic crisis issue that will hammer many other US universities far more than UL. "Others" have created a huge dependency on the influx of cash. We... "fortunately?"... operate on a shoe string budget... and I can still tie my shoes if you cut my shoe strings by 10%... if you know what I mean.

Again, we are in an "untapped" situation as far as funding goes. I really need to talk to Scott Farmer.

UL has one of the largest disconnected alumni...

Definitely true. Way too many "transfer" as quickly as possible. Ever heard this one, "Oh, but I got my masters at LSU"?

Please do, I believe you have good ideas and the passion behind them. You also are a loyal UL Alum and fan. I would only hope that if you or others were able to penetrate the cloud of muck, otherwise known as the UL athletics dept., that you would not get worn down with how they operate (in a vacuum), and become a disgusted loyal fan that doesn't care anymore.

Scott generally answers emails. Send him your concerns at sfarmer@louisiana.edu.

or this one, "but i work in br." or, "but i drive by the lsu campus to visit my girlfriend." or, "i can find baton rouge on a map of louisiana." or, well, you get the message.

I understand what you're saying... and I have heard every excuse from UL alumni and would-be fans... for not supporting UL athletics. But, we get nowhere chastising them. We will regather the larger portion of our flock when our feeding grounds offer up what they like served... big-time college sports... no sooner. Personally, I will be waving them in for the landing when they return. We cannot have it both ways.
