Attendence?

[Parrott]

Big surprise! Talking down to others again!

I don't care what you think of me and whether you value my opinion. I'm sure many in the world don't care about yours. I don't gain my self-worth that way. I also don't value nor appreciate your condescending attitude. It mirrors the same that you loathe coming from others. How ironic.

Are you Bunch24 as well? I guess you don't get the use of analogy... it is used to reference a more easily understood parallel... not to be taken literally. If the argument for what the DA prints and writes is "because it sells"... my analogy is dead nuts on.

I like your writing Josh. But, I don't value your opinion on UL, outside of current UL sports reporting. You don't know the history, aren't offended by the cut-downs, and don't care.

Yo Josh, good job. I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I see a gameday page for each team as well as a gameday page for high school. The only way to make them happy is to have a complete different section for UL and another section for everything else.

Josh,


Can you tell me if the advertiser will run stuff the whole week of homecoming? I'm looking forward (crossing my fingers) to a 4-2 team coming home looking for their 5th win of the season. If its built up as a big game... maybe more fans will come.

I wonder if the paper would be open to a series of letters to the editor from a variety of alumni that are telling about the "good-old-times."
Maybe the letters would renew a passion in some people that have become distracted with "real" life. Maybe just a spark will encourage someone to slow down and enjoy a weekend in the swamp.

Or an interview like the "Where are they now" section in the high school part. That's a pretty good idea. If only we had a UL sports historian who could write up some pieces for the paper, like the guy (Bradshaw?) who now writes for the Teche News. I only buy that paper for the arrest report and his article.

Is it possible for someone, like a business, to buy the entire or half of the front page of sports?

Then they could say I want all UL stories on this page with my company advertized at the bottom or top.

UL SPORTS brought to you by (fill in the blank)

Just a thought.

Hey, that would be fun! UL Sports brought to you by RAGIN PAGIN!
I would give my 50 cents to the advertisement!
You know who I appreciate?...besides Josh Parrott...That CajunFun guy. He is really a great athletic supporter and UL supporter in general.

That would be a no-no to place stories based on what advertisers want. No pay for play, at least not in a respectable newspaper concerned about ethics.

Awe Man! You're no fun. I knew you wouldn't take any cash for a little more news. I am actually quite relieved that I don't need money to play. My 50 cents never has bought me much play time.
Thanks for the info. I am more and more proud of you...I would adopt you, but hubby doesn't like it when I bring grown men home....

Now that is funny stuff. I'm sure the good doctor appreciates that.

Complaining about the advertiser is assinine. They are part of a huge media conglomerate that is trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. Posting more stories about UL and less about LSU does nothing for them. Moving stories around on the internet does even less for them.
As someone who left LFT 15 years ago I notice a lot more school pride than when I was there. I think the Advertiser has had a positive effect on that development.
Sports attendance will continue to be a problem for us. We play in a crappy conference and we almost never win any conference championships in the big 3 sports. With all there is to do in South LA we will struggle with fans until we have a consistent winner(3+ years).

[Jo Cajun Momma]

Complaining ... is assinine. ...

I agree...I think that complaining about almost anything is assinine.

I was a perfectly happy child until someone ruined it and told me I was poor.
Now, you go and spoil all my fun by tell me that we are playing in a crappy conference! We are what we are.

Josh, you don't find me being condescending to the UL fanbase in general or the RaginPagin members in general... and that is what this forum is. I have bantered and sparred with people on here directly to their topic or their presentation of themselves. When someone says that they are getting off of RaginPagin because, basically, all of "us" are complainers... it does nothing to help UL or the DA... and I think it is condescending. Bunch24 does a good job of explaining himself, and then resorts to writing us off.

I value your opinion on current UL sports. You do a very good job. You don't, as you have hammered in my face in a past post, have a personal involvement with UL. You popped me for my analogy between porn and LSU popularity. I see the resemblance from a popularity standpoint.

If someone gets on here to explain how the paper in Lafayette operates and then calls all of us complainers and signs off... I think I had cause for what I said. I'll give more thought on whether I'm "talking down" on here. It's possible. I get wound up about UL stuff. I want things to be better for us.
