Passing judgment

UL — The plan for Louisiana going into last week's game against Northwestern State was to continue the natural progression for their quarterback group after a solid, if unspectacular, first game against Kentucky. But plans don't always w...

Boomer, You will love the caption under the picture in this story.

Boomer? We should all be outraged. ____ that rag of a paper....and I don't care care how good of a writer Luke is.

[Policarp]

I'm in Boomer's corner. These type of editing drops are 100% intentional. Dont ask me to respect any organization that blatantly chooses to mock and disrespect my Cajuns.

This isnt about Luke (dude is talented) it is the establishment that continually chooses mockery over respect.

Anyone else having trouble opening the link?

Relax for one second fellas. Cut lines are written by photographers who don't always know better and sometimes mistakes make their way through. I'm going in to fix it now.

Not everything you see is blatant mockery. People sometimes make mistakes.

Luke is a fantastic writer. I read the online articles and follow him on twitter. His employer has chosen to take a stance with the name situation. He cannot control that stance. I suppose their stance is strictly business related...since their main market is BR. _____ing at Luke about it won't change a thing. The only thing that will affect a business decision is business. I will not buy that paper until they follow the media instructions we send out. I only read the online content because the writing is just so great. As soon as Luke moves on I suspect they won't even get the click throughs from me. The only way to fight this particular battle is with your pocketbook. They made a choice. So will I. Nothing personal against Luke...just like him having to use the -Lafayette is nothing personal against us.

[LukeJohnson]

Fixed.

And if anyone still feels like they want to get up in arms over the cutline, before I fixed it, it started out with: Lafayette quarterback Brooks Haack.

Again. Mistakes happen. I apologize for the oversight on the paper's part, but seriously y'all, not everything that happens is a slap in the face with intent to harm. That being said, if y'all have an issue with anything in the story, I'd be glad to hear the feedback there.

Everyone have a great weekend, and y'all feel free to send me a message on twitter with the locations of y'all's tailgates. I want to actually meet some of y'all this year.

Thanks Luke.

I wonder how many of you have stopped watching ESPN? I will read Luke's articles over watching ESPN or reading anything that other guy writes. Better information and at least it is accurate.

[CrazyCajun]

I wonder how many times boomer has called out tjoe to his face about his UL-L and changing the scoreboard for Monroe? When he is at all those big donor dinners and facility tours and flights on away games? Your wife's company donates thousands of dollars to support a president that doesn't even call us what we want and you botching about a newspaper? So tired of this stupid ___. If you gonna take a stance, take one.

C'mon guys, can we give the name deal a rest for one second and talk about the actual article for once? I want us to be called Louisiana as much as anyone, but this article wasn't posted to have the only comments about it be complaining about the name under the caption. A single comment about how the caption needs to be changed would suffice.

In terms of the article, I agree that the Akron game will be a true measuring stick of our passong game and offense in general. Akron's defense held Oklahoma to 17 points in the 1st half and 100 total yards rushing the whole game, their stud back Samaje Perine to 33 yards on 11 carries. Pitt was also held to 148 rushing, however Akron's pass defense seems susceptible, giving up a total of 536 yards to starting qbs from Pitt and Oklahoma, and those qbs going a combined 32/50.
