McNeese Week 2016

[epiccajun]

Who holds the naming rights now?

Remember that one time that the McNeese Pokers came to Lafayette for a basketball game and forgot their uniforms. They had to wear UL practices jerseys that had UL and Ragin Cajuns on them.

That was funny. Even my kid's middle school team has better game day prep than that!

Hopefully this ends this exhaustingly boring thread.

The FormerCenterPoker (who most assuredly, has to notify his neighbors by law when he moves into a trailer park in Sulphur) has a way of making threads borderline intolerable.

Yeah, if we are such a joke, then why do they have such envy of all that we are? From a recent post on their site:

"ULL won their fbs bowl game . UL participated in the NCAA basketball tournament. UL softball is in the World Series of softball after hosting a regional and super regional. UL baseball is ranked no1 in country and hosting a regional this weekend. Let me tell you this I hate UL even more than lsu and I don't like lsu. What I want to know is why couldn't this type of success happen at McNeese??? Is it because we don't play in the fbs in football therefore we are not in a big enough conference to acquire enough money to succeed. I do believe that if we played ULL in conference like we used to, neither one of our stadiums is big enough to handle the amount of fans that would want to go. Is it because their are too many lsu fans in lake Charles and no matter what McNeese does lake Charles will not support it ??? Very possible because the media both print and television love them some lsu, you would think we are living in Baton Rouge because of the extensive coverage. Why the people in lake Charles are so proud of a college and team 3 hrs away instead of their own college I will never understand. UL seems to have found success, so maybe they are a model that we should follow to see more college and city pride here. Who knows it may lead to more economic success, can you imagine lake Charles hosting a softball or baseball regional???? Why not us????"

Bump. For the pokeAHole guy. Your own fans know how much of a POS your little 'school' is.

Why didnt you guys pursue the forfeit last year against your flagship? Would you say you were treated well by them?

I'm not sure I follow. McNeese is in the University of Louisiana System. There is no flagship in the ULS system...

Only borderline? I must be slipping...

Who holds the naming rights now?

The Board of Regents.

I should qualify, since 1984 (when a new law was passed in the middle of the BoR appeal) the Board of Regents has been vested with the right to name Educational Institutions subject to Legislative approval.

The Board of Regents has broader but weaker naming privileges than they did in the beginning of 1984.

[FormerPokeCenter]

The Board of Regents has been vested with the right to name Educational Institutions SUBJECT TO LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL = "Well, since you asked, FPC, it would appear that the legislature does"

FIFY, again...

[FormerPokeCenter]

You better look at those numbers again, Junior. 42K, 48K, and 54K. Those are strong numbers. The dif between Tulane and E Carolina is negligible. N.O. burn out on #4, plus our admin sold us out. We had a shot at the The Indy, but Farmer and TJoe covered it up and we were stuck once again. Anyway, it will still take you bet. 5-7 home playoff games to equal what we bring to a bowl game. Im out big Jay! Have a safe trip into town.

Thanks for the well wishes, Zee....

But, let's look at methodology....without the USL games, the average NO Bowl attendance has been about 30K...ergo the post about it spiking when you guys went...and then it spiked even more with Tulane...before falling to 34K...

I'm not going to kick you when you're down about The Indy Bowl, but....there wasn't ever really a chance y'all would come up to Shreveport...and that has nothing to do with the banter about McNeese / USL...I'm not gigging y'all on that, either. It just wasn't going to happen...

[Turbine]

FIFY, again...

That "today" caveat was not required prior to 1984, otherwise they would have moved the 17-1 approval up for Legislative vote.

This whole ordeal is full of retroactive shenanigans.

[FormerPokeCenter]

That was 1984.

It's now 2016...

It's time to let it go, Elsa!

I thought you said you liked history?

Not when it bites you I suppose.

[FormerPokeCenter]

1984 didn't bite me

2016 hasn't bitten me yet..so...we'll see...

Fair point. .. Why didnt you pursue a forfeit in an sec game you had scheduled that didnt occur. Many outlined journalists outlined the rule and t seemed like you had a case. Also i heard tyhe restart time kept changing and changing and your players didnt have the greatest food offered, should a host have taken care of their guests better?
