Destin, thanks for the comment after the article.

I didn't read the article because most Cajun Fans have "surviving a humiliating loss" down to an art form.

"When you start winning, everyone jumps on the band wagon... and later on, they'll jump off just as fast. So you get large crowds of, shall we say, 'not-so-great' people."

So if the team gradually becomes more competitive, wins more and then the average attendance steadily increases until it reaches 30,000, you are telling me we will have large crowds of 'not-so-great' people attending the games.
I have several friends and co-workers who have attended games or even purchased season tickets for the first time because they like the direction in which the program is headed. They seem like good people to me. I'm sure many diehard Cajun fans have had the same experience. They know good people also. I don't buy the theory of UL winning will fill the stadium with "not-so-good" people.

I watched the WHOLE Nebraska game with a friend who moved here
from Georgia. He plans to buy two season tickets next year. Good guy.

I understand the point Joe was trying to make in the article. However, I was troubled by the "not so good" people comment. None of us are perfect and in God's view, we all are one. Yes, people who will become our fans when we start winning may not be as cultured or as educated as some. That does not mean they are not contributors to society in their own way.

The Saints are looking pretty awesome this Fall. I really believe if we stay injury free we can make it to the Super Bowl. Drew Bress may become one of the greatest QB's of all times.
