ESPN Bottom Ten

[ULGrad@HOU]

Our identity has nothing to do with wins and losses. Our identity is tied to ULM and the SunBelt. To the outside world, we are Louisiana Lafayette and UL-L. Until Dr. S takes a firm stand and we actually market ourselves as Louisiana and not our inconsistent and half-___ attempt at it, get bold EVERYWHERE in our resolve to be Louisiana, get our conference to call us Louisiana, and separate ourselves from ULM, we will be UL Lafayette to the world outside of Lafayette. We are delusional to think that winning alone will solve this. It has been 15 years since our name change. I am really getting fed up with this university's lack of resolve.

You are right, it's not tied directly to winning. Winning would help the process, if and only if, there was a solid commitment from the UL administration on making Louisiana it's primary Athletics name. Winning would help in making that effort more publicly known to a broader audience. So, since there isn't a strong voice coming from Dr. S, then winning won't help. Unfortunately, it's Politics that is the biggest obstacle, and Dr. S is certainly all about that and is wrapped up all in it. Political pressure from outside the University seems to be too much for Dr. S, and he doesn't have the stones to push through it.

Look inside the stadium wall. Why put University of Louisiana with Lafayette on both sides? This an athletic event. Why not just Louisiana? It's things like this that are baffling.

How'd Hud miss this guy? He pronounces his name like a Cajun.

12 other louisiana players too, including D'Nerius Antoine from New Iberia, Not including Kicker Braunche - who transferred from UL

ULM will undoubtedly get out of the Bottom Ten with their victory today over NMSU.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Jalen? Yeah, Hud has that one down real well...

You're r right. He's in love with that name.

Who knows Hud might have played him at QB

[CajunEXPRESS]

So we still laughing at ULMOST?

[ZoomZoom]

Whew, didn't make it.

That is (2) C-USA teams and (1) Belt team.

They didn't.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Part of being in the bottom ten is being disappointing. So we're not disappointing enough for that. Surely we were bad enough.

[MandevilleCajun]

Man UCF was in a BCS Bowl only a couple of years ago. That puts a little perspective on our stumble this year.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yes it does. Doesn't absolve our situation. Winning is hard. Losing easy to do.

We can say that it's too hard, don't expect better. Or we can light a fire and watch the seat warm up. We're going to see if our guy has it in him to turn on the water hose.

Still going to games, still going to QB Club, still supporting but continued failure has no excuse.
