McNeese Week 2016

Why wouldn't it be their university if that is indeed where they went to school? Am I the only one that doesn't understand that statement?

I had a student job at the board of supervisors. None of them care individual alums unless they donate hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. A bunch of 60s with middle incomes and donating a couple of hundred dollars per year will not be noticed. Sorry to break that to you.

On the other hand, UL has drastically improved its campus since I went there, especially new university housing, and really good oil industry related departments. It's in my sons top four choices.

I don't live in Lake Charles and agree that Lafayette is better (except for Lafayette traffic)

My son is considering UL as a college choice. That's why I pay attention.

If that's the case, I'd think you would appreciate the fact that people that attended "our" university 30 years ago still take pride in that fact. So much so that they would consider themselves a part of it and would be happy to say it's "their" university.

You are free to drink all the lattes you would like. I'm free to laugh at the self delusions of a bunch of old men who refer to a university they attended more than 30 years ago as "our" university. As if you are given a second thought by the administration or UL Board.

Yeah, its a free country. What you don't see, is me talking out of my sss on another schools message board. My Father taught here. My entire family attended or is presently attending UL. It is "our" University. You don't like it, crawl back under your rock.
BTW, we all know that the Admins of UL don't read the boards... LOL! They have someone else do it and report back.

Have a fine day.

Well Tiggerwhatever, RRman or name du jour, just look at the MSA population data over the years. LC, and BrokeBack U in particular is on the same trajectory as that pimple on my butt...drying up and soon to be forgotten.

It's too late for MSU to play me too u. But hey, they knew their place.

Read a bit on that mickeyneese board. Go my gosh, there are some mass delusions over there!

The President of the University has been a personal friend of mine for over 30 years...the chairman of the UL board this year is a friend of mine and has been since 1986. Most of the posters on this thread know Dr. Savoie personally. He is one of us. This is a very unique University in that we do feel like family . It truly is Our University.

Are you going to give your son permission to refer to the university he attended as "his university" many years after he attended? And yes, those that give hundreds of thousands are very good friends with those that give thousands and those that give hundreds of dollars... so we all influence our leadership at UL (on alumni matters). Most of those large donors, by the way, are over 50. You're delusional if you think any university isn't massively affected by all alumni that "graduated 30 years ago".

Then why did Savoie ok the decision to use UL-Lafayette over all of ya'll, his personal friends and owners of the university, objections?
