New redshirt rule doesn't figure to affect Ragin' Cajuns

[Flcajun]

Eight true freshman are playing according to this article. We also have some JUCO guys and tranfers contributing. That tells me our recruiting year was not as terrible as some made it out to be last February. Keep in mind that recruiting results are not based upon how people play in their first year. We will have those eight guys four more years and you have to believe they will be much improved next season.

You can play 5 years now?

What if it was a paid advertisement?

They would probably give you a $5 rebate and change it anyhow.

If your name is showing that you are the article's author, than bite the bullet........If it's not him than put out a statement clarifying that it's not him and the reason why ULL or UL Lafayette is printed. You can do it on RP. We will get the message. We have read from several that will say that it not Dan's doing. But let him say it and not some third parties.......

I can tell you guys it not his decision anymore than it was Luke Johnson's when it comes to editing our name. I know, because I sat next to the guy a number of times during press conferences and at UL sport events. I don't know how many times people need to be told it, but it get's pretty old reading someone else post about it multiple times every damn month.

Yeah! Nothing like giving your boss the finger publicly to insure job security.

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. I find that once people realize that I don't care what they call us, they soon quit with the "at Lafayette" business. If they can't get me riled up about it, it's no longer any fun for them and they simply stop it.

Now I see your logic in saying conference movement is dead.

Brilliant.

I won't let Dan off the hook.

However, I have written articles for sports pages. My name appears. Most of my words appear. But I really have little control over what's actually published - and no control over the title.

Pretty sure that's consistent.

This. When somebody says ULL or UL-Lafayette in conversation, I just keep conversing as if I didn't hear it - and sprinkle "Louisiana" into the appropriate places when referring to our team on purpose.

Almost everyone now calls us UL or Louisiana when we talk now, without a sermon from me about it.

You haven't been paying attention...its the sports editor at the advocate who does that, not Dan...

so if it happens over and over and he does nothing, i think then he has an idea it might happen the next time... so if he does nothing and continues to submit the articles knowing that, then yes it is on him.

[31Ragin97]

Maybe he wants to also keep getting paid writing articles for The Advocate, and if he goes out publicly starting some ____storm, that might end.

The Advocate will never allow us to be called Louisiana. It is what it is.

then that is his choice. so he cant hide behind saying its not him. the economy is booming narionwide, plenty of other jobs out there. might be worse in my view if it is for money(how do you define sell out?)
