No Beer??

Seriously, we are all still in the dark! Shed some light any time now!

_ So where are all of our heavy hitting alums in politics to help out here? You know, Blanco (already heard one story of her uselessness), Breaux, and oh yea, Melancon, the latest alum we only hear about when its election time. If they can't even get this straightened out what good are they?

You're absolutely right. We should blame Blanco & Breaux-- both out of office-- and Melancon, who represents a completely district.

And we should NOT, under ANY circumstances expect accountability from UL alums and current office-holders Boustany and Michot, nor from Jindal, the former head of the UL System and current governor, the guy for whom Lafayette Parish voted twice, the first time over our own local candidate.

I mean my goodness, the last thing we would want to be is fair about the whole thing. Partisan concerns must always trump all other issues.

Particularly accuracy...

Partisanship has nothing to do with it. I honestly did not know that Boustany and Michot were alums. If they are alums of UL and have political pull they should be working for us on this regardless of political party, or where their district is located, or if they are current office holders or retired. I'm just tired of hearing about politicians who are UL alums that want to play that card when its election time but then never visibly support this university. (Although Michot does get credit for his support during the I Bowl incident.) All of the names you mentioned are heavy hitters in LA political circles. That combined with the fact that they are UL alums should give us some heavy stroke over this beaurecrat (sp?) that is holding up this deal. Hell, with UL alums including a former US Senator, a Governor and a current US Representative along with the local officials we should be getting a lot more support than we have been. Yet here it is mid-week and nothign seems to have been resolved.

I for one do not want Melancon or Boustany working on this situation. They have much more important matters than beer at Cajun Field.This problem should be handled by Walker, Farmer, T-Joe and the vendor.

You need to get out more.

There is this WONDERFUL website that talks about all things UL. In fact, there is an interview of Mike Michot on it, and currently Boustany is on the first page.

And the name of the website is...

_ Beer and hard liquor have always been "Vended" to private parties in box seats. This would not have been news in any way shape or form.

What would be considered "box seats" ?

Seats up in the "press box". Those include the suites.
