McNeese Week 2016

[CajunJack55]

Whats bad is I have some friends that are huge fans of McNeese as well as being pretty nice guys... it just takes one bitter, pathetic moron to ruin it.

I am very familiar with the school and it's fans. I spent my first two years of college at McNeese before transfering to UL. My father, his brother and their brother-in-law all played football at McNeese. My two brothers have degrees from McNeese...Safe to say, they give me a hard time

With that being said, the fan base, student life and overall experience between the two schools are NIGHT and DAY. When I was at McNeese they were ranked number one in the country and played for a national championship. NOONE CARED. The students cared about what the team in Baton Rouge was doing. I won't even go into basketball and baseball because noone even knew they existed. You are not going to have anyone pump money into the programs when noone cares about them.

99% of the McNeese people I am around are LSU first, McNeese second. Even the die hard fans. This happens when you play FCS ball. Your games aren't on tv so you have to watch LSU and now UL (and trust me they watch.) Hell, I even got my dad to turn and he is now a huge Cajun fan. He's always asking when we are playing and even sporting Ragin Cajun gear!

With that being said, most of them are level headed and see what is going on in Lafayette. They are envious. They wish these things were happing in Lake Charles. Sure they will throw in there little jabs here and there about how they beat us in 07 and we are ducking them but that's ok.

Bottom line is you won't find a single Cajun fan who would want to trade places with that school and whether or not they admit, they would trade places with us in a heart beat. Transfering to UL was the best choice I've ever made. The passion and RAGE of you fans is what made this program survive during the bad years and will make this program grow during these good years. The sky is the limit for us and that can't be said about the school to the West. I look forward to playing them in 2016 for my own personal reasons.

McNeese is mo longer the top dog in the SLC and they have not been for a couple of years now. Sam Houston and SLU are. The Lions scored 50 on them last year and I expect both of those schools to do well again this year. Also, when SLU hosts a playoff game they fill the stadium. That is something the Cowboy fans do not do. In fact, they are lucky if half their stadium is occupied at that time.

I do too. I wish McNeese the best in 1-AA but have no desire to play them or any other SLC team. Southern makes sense because they will bring a huge crowd. McNeese these days not so much.

Pete your brother is a quality guy. I see what's happening at McNeese and I feel for those guys cause they are hard core. They deserve better.

Since you seem so intrigued by the subject are you noting the replies on the Brokeback board and noting the percentage relative to their total posts?
