And she still drains my wallet even when I’m not happy with her.

I'll one up you on that:

BLU, you got the IQ of a shoehorn. The video I posted has zero to do with El Aye Tech.

Now go back and watch your posted video with your favorite lube in you mom's basement.

And if y’all think this is arguing, y’all married some passive women

To each their own. I grew up a Cajun fan watching football basketball and baseball. I still attend those games consistently. Softball is awesome and I enjoy the games I attend but I don’t make as many as I should by choice. I started going to a few soccer games now that my girls play soccer.

I’m not sure why scolding someone for being a life long fan seems to be progressive to some of you. It’s like a marriage. This is my university I support, I said the vows. If me and my wife go through rough patches I don’t stop sleeping with her. 😂😂😂😂

No one “scolded you for being a lifelong fan”. You made some dumbass comments and posters engaged you because of them. Don’t play the victim.

And if sleeping with your wife is anything like attending Cajun basketball games, I’ll say a few prayers for you pal.

I’m not a victim. I feel sorry for those who can’t support half of the athletic programs at any given time because said program isn’t great every year. But I’m glad y’all arent there. I hate sitting next to the guy that verbally complains the whole game like y’all do here. Just shut up and watch the game or go bang your head on a wall. If I want to constantly surround myself with negativity, I’ll stay home and watch the news all day.

If I fall and hurt my tailbone while sleeping with my wife it probably would be hard to watch. Luckily I can just shorten the game!!!😂😂

I was going to make a couple of games in January. Is it acceptable for people to go to the games or is my attendance a sign I am embracing mediocrity?

Mike, I’ve tried my damndest to be quiet or at least more quiet than usual on this topic out of respect for guys like you. I’ve even tried the “I don’t care” approach. Some of that is organic, but it’s hard to not follow the basketball team. I’ve done it my entire life. The brutal truth is, the customer that will pay for a good or bad product dilutes the quality of said product for everyone. I realize that some fans just like everything that goes into following the program. But we need those certain kinds to be self aware. We have a mutual friend that fits this category. He knows his relationships and experiences make him biased toward the staff and program. But he doesn’t take it personally when guys like me make the observation that a segment of our fan base uses Cajuns basketball as a social club .

College basketball is a business, and should be run as a business. I’ve said it a million times. It is not good business to invest heavily (compared to peer investments) and continue to leave money on the table.

Honest Cajun basketball fans know, we have a problem. It’s deep rooted. 80% of our core fanbase is 50+. We can’t attract target demo because we don’t compete nationally, game day environment is like a Bingo Hall, OOC home opponents are unrecognizable and the SBC brand of ball is unwatchable.

Again, the only way to take advantage of the #2 revenue producing sport is to make the tournament. We don’t do that NEARLY enough. I don’t care that this is a 1 bid league. I should be able to expect, bare minimum , 3 appearances a decade. Considering the strength of this league, the money we spend, the history we have, the facilities we have...

A lot of people are sick of being stuck in the mud. And I’ve been quiet, but if we don’t make the tourney again this year, I’m going scorched earth when the season ends. And you may not think it matters, but I can assure you, it absolutely matters. As Jay Walker likes to say, “fans fire coaches”.

I agree the tournament is key and we have not made it often enough. Not sure this team has enough talent to win it this year. Saturday night showed what happens without Gant and an injury can happen anytime. I should clarify when I say what fans think don’t matter. Of course if enough people get the same idea things can change. When I say commenting on things have little impact, I say that in regards to this season only.

Do whatever you’re comfortable with. Just know that people supporting mediocre performance is fertilizer for massive failure in the future. Now if y’all think Maggard isn’t capable of hiring better than Big Fish I’d understand the reluctance.

Wasn't Hud handed both Blaine Gauthier and Terrance Broadway?

HUD brought Broadway in himself but yes he did inherit Gauthier
