I'm not the smartest guy in the room and have sometimes been said to be one can short of a six pack, but if Jim Harris truly has contacts with people in the AAC, maybe it would be wise to at least give Jim the ability to speak to those contacts on UL's behalf and introduce the UL administration to his "friends" so they can start a dialog.

Short of going there with a title to his name, do you think it would carry any weight?

You would think that's the least that would be done.. But like I said, this whole "we're doing everything we can" stuff is straight BS.

We have people like Delhomme and Mitchell, but they are not going to push our leaders like Louisiana Tech's former athletes do. It's the sad history of our program, but that is why Louisiana Tech has such football tradition, it's the level of involvement of former athletes and their connections.

Probably our most involved alumni was just hired by fox sports.

Holding the GOVERNMENT accountable. It's refreshing.

Yes....he was USF's official representative on the AAC realignment Committee

Seems he went there with a title on behalf of USF.

I don't think going there as a friend of the program carries the same weight.

He would need at least the same credentials USF gave him.

Rcaf isn't separate, he isn't a friend of the program...he is part of it.

He was USF's "Senior Associate Athletics Director" that is a title.

I'm talking about here, he isn't just a friend of the program. They don't care who you send, there isn't some bylaws written for conference realignment pitchmen. If he gives us our best chance, you send him...he doesn't need a title to represent us in realignment.
