Louisiana Poll...

[CajunFun]

Louisiana Poll came out, voters think higher ed is underfunded, and that it should be a priority.

Also, some of you should read the article on 'Hypocritical Fans'...

Fun, I figured if anyone could find a way to blame the "big" sports programs for your own 'Hypocritical Fans', as you call them, it would be you.

Instead of 'Hypocritical Fans', I might call them "Hypo-frustrated Fans". We all have different levels of frustration that we can handle before we lose it and venting on a sports forum is but one way to handle our frustration. Each to our own, but I don't see much really wrong with fans venting and blowing off steam on a sports forum or 2nd guessing a coach or showing disappointment in the results of a game or a season.

So the athletes & teams (17-22 year old college students) should always show character, but the fans (much older, ostensibly college graduates) should not.

That's what you're saying, right?

Turbine, could you put a link up to the previous thread on this that Fun posted 6 or so months ago? I'd like to be reminded of the various points made (and for some reason I can't find the thread).

Good fan article Fun. I always wondered why people think they were owed so much from an event just because they bought a ticket to a game. You pay for the seat, nothing more nothing less.

Kids/students/athletes/coaches who sign a binding contact with a school and who therefore represent that school to the world are always going to have more demands/expectations placed upon them and their character than joe blow fan does. imo

Everything we do in life speaks to our "character" in one way or the other. I just don't happen to think that a fan venting his/her frustration on a sports forum necessarily shows them to have a character issue any more than a football player drawing some kinda of flag shows them to have one.

But hey...I have been wrong lots of times.

Good luck this weekend against WKU.

Hypocritical Fans . . . the thread.

I wish!!

I have a daughter getting married in the 1st week of June. She seems to think our last name has become Rockefellow or Kennedy!

I went to see this guy named "Killer" for a small loan. After talkin' to him for a few mins, he convinced me that a loan rate of 80% was more than reasonable and really in my best interest.

St. John will have to wait till next year, but when I find something special (to me); I ride it as long as I can.

Hope all the Destin's are doing well.

And I happen to think we should practice what we preach.

Good luck this weekend against WKU. _

Thanks.
