RCAF looks at effect of profane video

[CajunRebel]

No one that shares your political ideology! For other student athletes in that locker room, clearly someone thought it should be known. Your opinion and mine does not count when it comes to official university policy.

There's difference between being offended and being intimidated. Intimidation is when a person threatens to harm another person. There is obviously nothing intimidating about singing a song that shares a political perspective.

I can assure you there is no campus policy against political speech, no matter how offended it might make someone.

It's not that a politician is or isn't more important. In HUD's case he specifically insulted donors.

I'm not withholding anything over this but you never give the finger to the customer. Apparently your disgust for Trump is clouding your view of that.

Say anything about the Orange Wonder and folks lose their ****. But we love him because he "tells it like it is."

What a clown show.

Don't frickin donate if you're that damn soft and squishy. Watch our program suck.

What a joke. What a soft fanbase.

First off, the Tigue issue is different because our people bragged about it being ready to national media, it was spotlighted during the Regionals on ESPN, and failure to follow through would definitely have a negative national affect on our program. Answers were needed as to why the commitment that had been made to Coach Robe was not being met. More harm and distrust towards the UL Athletic program would be done with the lack of information, and lack of visibility by Scott Farmer.

In this instance, the current state of where donors stand in regards to the video is what it is. Tim Buckley continuing to put this on the front page of the sports section does nothing but increase negativity towards our athletes and coaches within the Acadiana community.

So yes, with this instance and past observations, Tim Buckley has proven he does not care one bit if the Cajun athletic program moves forward and progresses. He just wants stories and clicks.

Dave Schultz at least wants to see us move forward, as do/did Dan McDonald, Josh Parrott and Luke Johnson.

I said nothing about the Tigue. Although I do happen to have knowledge that Buckley (and Johnson) was trying for weeks to get something on the record to no avail.

"Past observation"?

I disagree with you as to whether Buckley cares about UL athletics. But again, it does not matter one bit whether a journalist "cares" about a particular program. A journalist does not need to care for a program, but must care for his work.

For what it's worth, I've sat next to Buckley in the press box on a few occasions, as well as talking to him periodically since I graduated, and from those experiences (which are more than any "observations" you make while reading his articles), I can say that Buckley doesn't "not care one bit" about UL athletics. Does he care? I don't know. You need to ask him. But I can say he doesn't "not care."

I don't like this new rap but that's me my concern is now everyone is going to complain about any music played on campus until it there will be no music other than the fight song. And don't put it past people to come after the name Ragin Cajun JMO because as offensive as some say that song was some feel the same about our name. So is this fuss really worth it in the long term.

I fully expect Hud to deliver. This negative event can be used as a positive if the players receive this in a positive manner; a good selling point to parents of recruits. Don't think football in general can pull off a personal responsibility contract like baseball, but this may tighten personal accountability and the locker room.

Zoom, I'm all for accountability! Perhaps it's time to try it?

Why not?

Because we don't have the money to recruit deeply because some kids said some vulgar stuff about Donald Trump?

[Tell The Truth]

They better be careful....remember the demographics student athletes. If they want to win...they may want to let this one go or the Cajuns may not be able to sign black athletes in the area for a long time.

I still side with HUD. He spends more time with these kids than anyone else, he knows they are kids. None of these kids committed crimes.

RCAF money can easily be replaced...good area athletes and a reputation of not feeling welcomed.....not so much.

These are not the kind of student athletes the university was built on...we don't want them or their coach...

[Tell The Truth]

This was a private matter that happened in a private locker room. Why should the way he dealt with it be made public?

Just who do you think pays for that lockerroom....not these thugs...local and state $$$$
