McNeese Week 2016

[FormerPokeCenter]

Well, to your point, the Outside World, no offense to Lafayette, thinks that Cajun means "New Orleans"...

[FormerPokeCenter]

Is that why Vermillionville scarfed up the "Lafayette" name when New Orleans annexed and absorbed the real Lafayette?

I think the historical context of U-S-L's social-climbing-through-name-change is beginning to come into focus, by the way. I'm really glad you brought up the historical angle thing....

That's made the conversation infinitely better!

Providing you with some historical context to the satellite existence you enjoy orbiting around Louisiana Tech is, clearly, a much needed educational service.

You guys have a really short institutional memory...

With the lighting strike speed of 19th Century politics 1894 and 1898 make for virtual twins.

Why even the 20th Century establishment of McNeese and ULM closely resembled such as did Eunice and Alexandria.

Is it any wonder?

UL grows and they establish a school in Lake Charles, UL grows and they establish a school in Eunice.

There is a major misidentification problem in how this State markets it's best asset.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Even considering the turle's pace of 19th Century politics 1894 and 1901 occurrecd in different centuries..,

FIFY...again

Is it any wonder?

UL grows and they establish a school in Lake Charles, UL grows and they establish a school in Eunice.

I think you have it backwards......They establish schools in Lake Charles and Eunice, and the UL System grows.

They establish a school in Monroe and the UL System Grows...

That's what happens when you don't put the cart in front of the horse....

I had to, your blatant disregard for the Constitution was getting a little absurd.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Now, now...we covered the fact that an existing institution established a satellite campus, which the legislature approved because of a documented need.

And that, eventually, the satellite campus was spun off.

No "new" institutions were created or built. The only thing that changed was how they were managed...

You forget they put McULM in the UL System to ease the bills.

The McULM's were established in a failed attempt to grow the LSU System.

Flagship Status is like Highlander....There can only be one

One of the most creative breaches of Constitutional intent ever.

Coach Guidry is smart. He's not giving Hudspeth any bulletin board material to use before Saturday's game. We better be well prepared to play Saturday. If we're not, McNeese is going to embarrass us.
