Personally I think we need to stop pointing out when people reference us as Louisiana.they are supposed to. I think it only entices people to do the opposite.

We have had a great relationship with stAte for decades. If we do end up in another league or a neway formed league it is my hope that we end up together. Also I'll repeat what I've stated in other threads. Dr. Savoie deserves the credit for this but I would like to commend Jay Walker for his over 15 year battle over our preferred Athletic name. He never caved.

We've moved kickoff to 11:00 AM for television, yet I'm not seeing a listing on Cox Cable channels. Oh well there's always ESPN3.

I just have this feeling that now with acceptance of our Louisiana name, our teams will play at a different level. We saw it with basketball last night and I think football will beat Ark State on Saturday and go to a bowl game with a win over ULM next week. Farmer is gone, Alden is stepping in for the rehire selection and implementation of his Plan, and our name recognition by the SBC and soon national media is now moving forward. Our coaches are feeling a new invigoration, Harris is no longer under Farmer's rule and Dr. S is moving our university to new heights academically and athletically. We as alumni and fans no longer have to explain our name and can fully boast of Louisiana. It is truly a new day for Louisiana!!

Couldn't agree more.

Note to Hud: Get the football program out of the funk, raise the level of talent and coaching, stop embarrassing the University with problems, or you will be the next high profile figure gone. Good Luck.

A win on Saturday would be a season saver IMO. There is a new buzz in town and Hudspeth needs to come through for us.

A lot of fans and Alums have wondered, me included, whether or not Dr. Savoie was committed to truly commit to excellence in Athletics. I now believe that he is.
