Louisiana's SuccessfUL 3-0 Puerto Rico Tour

[GeauxCajuns]

Home and Home series have no payday aspect. Now I guess we could pay someone a fee similar to a non D1 to come while we go for free. Maybe something like that could be tried but Dr. Maggard has not shown interest in doing something like that to date. I am now 100 PERCENT positive a road game is paying for the Puerto Rico trip. I have learned the opponent but am not at Liberty to share that yet. Also we have not been out of the country since 2017.

was this a hint?

No

was this a hint?

……With all the discussion, I think the positives are very good……RECRUITING, BOTH MAYBE GETTING A KID NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE…..cool trip and an ongoing recruiting tool…..what I would be doing is sending a baseball recruiter along to do the island and the Dom Rep and maybe a soft baller rep ….my daughter and husband lived there for about 5 years and started the Trump golf course…..he is in charge of the P R Open and still goes to meet with the gov and the rest of the staff…..think we had a player from there some years back and basketball was pretty big!

Marlin has spent the last 3 years complaining that football is squeezing his budget and he goes ahead and spends road game revenue on going on a preseason road trip.

No matter how it gets spun, this is the cold hard truth.

Which was the entire point. But people will always excuse and defend.

I keep seeing “reasons” that the PR trip is needed is because it’s a recruiting tool. You know what’s a better recruiting tool? Good home schedules so players play in front of big home crowds…

Is it time for the “Real Cajun Basketball Fan” to come out and ____ on Man About Town’s driveway because they disagree I.E. the social club? LOL

I thought they checked out because he was not fired.

Built in excuse for them having team a bad start .. Marlin had to play a tough schedule to pay for the PR trip.
