(2009) I'm the casual fan that has not been to Cajun Field in years

[ATXCajun]

WOW!!!! It seems like you dont need us then.
Sorry for caring.

You don't need our approval. You could just choose to do the right thing instead of _____ing and moaning about the last ten years and your hurt feelings. Join RCAF, then post something like "Hey guys! Been away from the program for awhile because it was just too painful, but it looks like Hud has this thing rollin'!" I promise you would have gotten a different reception. We have all been disappointed with the pace of progress but it is here now. You can miss out if you want.

Is there any way to edit the name of this thread to avoid misunderstanding?

Marine, you are an alum in my book. Forgive those of us that use alumni out of context, and thank you for serving.

I just had an interesting thought. There are no casual fans. The group does not exist. "Fan" is short for "fanatic." "Casual fanatic" is an oxymoron. You're either a fan or you're not.

Look, for better or worse there are probably more "fans" like the OP than there are like us... die hards no matter what. While I would love 30k die hards... they dont exist right now...

The OP makes excellent points... I dont agree on the a&m@br point.. Under the surface they do a lot to make sure no other state school achieves excellence... But beyond that we (UL) DO need to be more fan friendly...

Much like the Saints, we do need to attract the bandwaggoners... Once hooked they will begin to become more ardent fans....and build the base

We have a new sheriff in town... he is doing all the right things... Now the admin.. assuming it is Scott Farmer... need to recognize the need to be more fan friendly...

Again analagous to the Saints.... Ole Tom was HORRIBLE with fan PR... When his granddaughter took over things changed.... that needs to happen here

OP... we want you.... maybe lighten your rhetoric... but come back

So, why do the so-called casual fans come and go? I don't know. Maybe they are non fans that are exploring the possibilities. Maybe they are fans of something else, like popular culture or opinion, and follow the masses.

Everybody needs to read the whole thread before replying. Especially POST #50.

Just want to say that for ANY big game ANYWHERE it's a bad idea to show up 15 minutes before and expect there to be no line for tickets. The same thing happened to me recently at an NBA game.

But welcome to the team chop. We need more people like you.

First, overall problem that most of us have with the "bandwagoners" is that they are great to have in good times but are often the first and loudest when offering their displeasure of a program due to a lack of positive results. This becomes particularly tough for many of the faithful fans to deal with who have stayed in the struggle so to speak in hopes of supporting a viable program.

Zeph this is the only thing i disagree with mainly because I am one of the diehards and not alum at that, that have brought up this issue since i started as a member on this forum and got enemies mainly because I continuously hit this point of acceptance with mediocrity and wanting a level of greatness. The more I preached about this, the more those that agreed came out of the woodwork and also voiced their opinions. The more opinions that were heard the louder it got, and that is when you noticed that changes started taking place.

I was voicing my displeasure because I knew that we as the Cajun Nation were capable of so much more and Chop was right about the Attitude. but it also was in the attitude of many, not just the administration and it was up to us to get riled up enough to want change from that administration to get things right.

Now that is happening we can continue to support our Cajuns with less stress knowing that they are getting a chance to perform to their potential with the right Staff and Administration behind them to support their advances.

Cant wait to see everything unfold!

Just a reminder for Chop.

The Cajuns have a home basketball game tomorrow night. Since you haven' seen the hoops team in a while, I think you'll be surprised and impressed by the effort that those boys put out.

They deserve YOUR support too!

Welcome home, Chop!
