[Zeebart21]

BOP for the first time in a long time, hit the nail on the head.

Just an edit to the above...


On a total athletic scale, notoriety, academics, etc. UL is way closer to LSU than McNeese is to UL.

...
However, in 1984...when U-S-L got slapped for an vainglorious social climbing overreach, it was operating under a completely different set of rules that had been in existence for approximately 10 years.

The Constitution of 74 was not the hang up in rolling back the Name Change.

The Constitution actually provided a clear path forward.

The Judge used the logic of "no law says you can" make a name change.

The legislature and constitution had not (to that point in time) reserved or assigned naming rights to either the Legislature or the Board of Regents. Naming rights were unaddressed, but that does not mean the Board of Trustees was guilty of "vainglorious social climbing overreach"

In the Constitution after specifically stating what the Board of Regents COULD DO it went on to speak about powers not vested with the BoR and where they were vested.

1974 Constitution:

"Powers Not Vested. Powers of management over public institutions of postsecondary education not specifically vested by this Section in the Board of Regents are reserved to ... the Board of Trustees..."

"No law says you can" was counterfactual imaginary thinking, it didn't hold water. If a power wasn't specifically given to the Board of Regents it was automatically given to the Board of Trustees without having to be spelled out as a permission.

Heaven forbid the McNeese fans be interested in the next football game our team is playing. Now, if we weren't playing a game and the McNeese fans were on here doing the same, your post might have a little validity.

Have to agree. Don't discourage opposing fans coming to talk shop. Discourage the trolls by ignoring them. And this guy's post doesn't tell me he's a troll

Did you go to The Ohio College of Clown Arts forum last week and posted every minute of the day about your "big" week one matchup last week? Bet you guys were all geared up to play the mighty Fran Tarkenton State or whoever the F y'all played....

We better win this dang game and I hope to never see the Mickey Mouse user names for a long time

Another Stalker! You guys need to find another interest.

StOnge is relelntless. Here is a dude that will rattle on just to hear himself talk. Its like a mosquito you cant get rid of. He'll extoll the virtues of a home playoff game in the "Hole" where only 8k showed up.... and they lost. ...at the same time drone on about how no one cares about a bowl game in the Superdome that 54K attended and was on in primetime and UL won. When hes not blowing LSU, he can be found in the Hole...in fact he is usually the biggest Hole in whole Hole.

The difference between the two fan bases is pretty simple.

McNeese fans are amused by U-S-L fans, we're not envious of them. That's the main difference.

Well, that and the fact that McNeese fans don't suffer from the same delusions of relevance that U-S-L fans suffer from. We're more concerned with the product on the field than we are with how many unsuspecting media outlets we can con into callling us something that we're not, or with wordsmithing our way around the intent of the legislature and the agreements we've made.

No, McNeese fans don't envy you.

We like to laugh at you and we definitely like to beat you, but envy never enters the picture.

The overwhelming sentiment that U-S-L fans get from McNeese fans is pretty basic: It's called pity.

Such and envious statement

McNeese fans are amused by UL fans .

UL fans have far more and much better ways to amuse themselves, and fortunately aren't constrained by once in a decade amusement.

Ah, excellent.. The tool has awoken to assume his position..

A complete and total dumpster fire this guy is.

Aren't you late for your daily round of tummy sticks with TheMessenger??

Typical U-S-L fans, assuming facts not in evidence and looking for a complicated answer to a SIMPLE question.

Why are McNeese fans here?

Because of the inherent enterainment value. This is probably the funniest place on the interwebs, though I'm pretty sure most of the humor here is unintentional.

It's like watching Monty Python's Black Knight sketch....

You've been de-horsed, flayed and separated from your arms and your legs, but still you scream that it's only a flesh wound, damnit, and the rest of the football playing institutions must yield and acknowledge your the impending ascension to flag ship status, LOL.

The phone call from the Big XII could come at any time, right? Priceless!

Seriously, the only reason fans from any other school bother to come here is for the entertainment value. If you weren't so much fun to laugh at, you'd have the place to yourselves.

And, the thing is...you KNOW this.

Otherwise you wouldn't be so predictably sensitive about the name thing and the other delusions of grandeur that your little echo chamber protects and fosters
