Notice to The Advocate: THIS is how it is done.

I will not read the Advocate.

Then sadly you will miss a lot of good UL coverage from another beat writer.

When someone leads with 'hey punk' the content matters less.

So full blown name usage is not the same as punk but it isn't much better.

When someone leads with full names over and over every story they are saying 'you unworthy unknowable' entity.

No one likes to be introduced to people they already know.

If the Advocate really thinks they have a brand new audience every issue, then they are right they don't need old readers who know who UL is.

Turbine, don't get stuck on stupid! The Acadiana addition of the Advocate will eventually call us Louisiana or Ragin' Cajuns if they want their circulation to increase. It usually comes down to business decisions and to opportunity to increase the bottom line. I'm not telling people they should buy the Advocate, but they should read the UL coverage because they now have a full time beat writer. That has never happened in the modern era of UL Football. UL wins either way with more coverage to others outside of the Lafayette or Acadiana area.

I know huh!

Case in point; I got stuck on stupid with Scout and got every single thing I wanted ... and nothing.

CajunNation continues to benefit.

Go back and find Luke Johnson (new Advocate UL beat writer) and read what was there. They aren't gong to U-L-L us to death like they have in the past. THey're going to use Cajuns and Ragin' Cajuns more than ever before.

They aren't going to use Louisiana. Get over it.

-----Jay i was thinking that one great thing that could happen with the new paper in the area was that the stories could run in the BR and NO editions---have been to NO fairly much but mixed coverages are there with a sometimes an article to NOTHING---was this suppose to be the modus operendi???

You may be correct..and so as not to get into a 5 page answer....I just can't...

I read the online version of the advocate because it is free, I don't read the advertiser online because it is not free and I also do not care for Bucky.

LOL!! There may be a time in the near future that I just may offer it back to you and, you may find that after expenses and paying someone to help you there is still almost nothing!

Don't worry Boomer, some of us were already thinking about that extra coverage including Jay. There is always the big picture, but for others not so much. LOL!!!!
