Very interesting comments.
My skins are on the wall. I'm Verm & White, through and through; unabashedly so. You guys know that. Thickest skin in the Parish. Like you ZZ, I'm happy Matt started this outlet. It's gold, and it's the future of audio content. Thrilled that he asked me to be a part of it. I certainly take your guys' critiques into consideration, but I still have to be me. It's all I know how to be. I think we need to continue shining the light on things that have been ignored. One of which, is the enormous generational gap in our basketball fanbase. I know we will not always be perfect with stats, with player pronunciations or dates from 20 years ago. But as long as I'm involved, you'll get the discussions that traditional media shy away from. I am beholden to know one, so I can say certain things. I will do my best to never make it personal with anyone, but sometimes, conversations need to take place in order to advance the cause. I'll take the heat.
Please keep listening!
You younger guys, here's the ultimate troll from back in the day. RMM and the mutts don't come close.

Did business with him for a bit, his slamming the Cajuns every time I went in his shop sent me elsewhere.
I think we all should be ourselves. Sometimes we need to understand how others might take our comments. From the time of Bo Lamar we’ve had older fans. I can’t understand why we’d make that sound bad. Let’s focus on encouraging all potential fans. If a person pays their tickets and puts their butts in the stadium I’ll love um up.
Coaches? It’s a career path for most. They’re often disloyal seeking a bigger gig while on the UL payroll. That’s fine but they’re open to good or bad criticism. The criticism doesn’t have to be accurate to be valid. It’s one persons belief.
Run your site however you please. It’s success or failure is in your hands.
You are missing the point. The comment is not aimed at the older fans. The comment is meant to highlight the fact that we have a very small YOUNGER fanbase. 80% of our crowd is Fans from the glory days, the students and band. We are in dangerous territory. When the social club and glory days base goes to be with Jesus, who will buy the $12 beers? Who will buy the $25 single game ticket? Who will direct RCAF donations for coaching salaries?
It's a problem.
No I got the point; however I’m hearing it as a negative on older crowd instead of a challenge to make inroads to the younger fans. We lost a lot between the end of Stokley until Bustle.
What I’m hearing is on me, which is why I said to be careful. People hear what they’re biased to hear. We see it every day in politics. I’m not gonna debate this any further. Let’s build a bigger, stronger fan badly is all I’m gonna pursue.
