So.. What Did I Miss?

So I hit the link & it took me to a place where I was able to read a word salad of meaningless psychobabble. And herein lies the problem. You have a bunch of over educated nitwits who are from mostly foreign lands ( anywhere not Acadiana) who are in control of the athletic communications & marketing for this university & it is like watching the program go through it's second near death experience since I first started attempting to follow the program when I first moved here in the early 90s.

The difference being this time the powers that be within the university managed to send this bandwagon straight over the cliff faster than John Wayne did to the war wagon in the movie War Wagon. Please, prey tell me how in blue freaking blazes did this happen with any adults at the controls? This is exactly why the RCAF has to be removed from university control & put in the hands of it's own unpaid board of supervisors with UL Victory as it's paid senior officer & head of marketing & fund raising.

UL Victory is a first class guy. Just curious why you would think he would be interested in that job?

If you bring this issue up with anyone who has had to deal with that office, there is one name that is always mentioned. Julie is not that name.

The older gentleman?

So who was Jay yelling at? And what was it about? I'm a little upset to hear this. I thought I was the only one Jay liked to yell at & try to belittle while "defending the program".

I love Jay and his calls on the radio. However I have said it over and over, Jay is one of them.

People who invest their time, money and efforts into this University and Athletics programs deserve answers. WAY passed time to stop asking WHAT and start asking WHY.

This is the exact reason that Josh, Gerry and Nick should be able to interview coaches on the pod. Josh has balls and will ask all the hard hitting questions. The athletic department needs to get critical feedback from the fans investing time, money and efforts into the department.

When a business is failing, an internal audit needs to be done. We need an intensive audit, like, yesterday. And yes, changes need to be made. Too many people in positions of authority that have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

We had the Alden report. They didn't follow it.

This is my issue, when does it end? Do we do this again next year with the same 2 guys? If one transfers do we go through this again with chriss and whoever stays? Do 3 guys each get a series if they all stay? I was really hoping we would have done this for the first 3 games then settled on a guy for conference. Fields and Wooldridge are basically the same qb, so it’s not like it’s a change of pace. I can understand using the first 3 games to settle it but it’s time to go with a guy. Heaven forbid that guy gets hurt but we know now that we have a more than capable backup if needed, whichever one it would be.

I agree with this.

The Alden Report was the roadmap, but we prefer shortcuts.

Excellent point.

Many of us know the history personally Josh. We lived it and we knew very well who made the decisions. But when you received a cease and desist letter threatening legal action for a supposed branding infringement, the letter had her signature on it and not the president. Turbine knows this well growing this website and I had to do the same with Cajun Redzone. California Cajun, whom is no longer with us received the letter for making his own hats.

It is scary how much we align. I have the same sentiments about Ms Dronet as I have known her from almost before she was born.

I also feel the same about the other guy. I have not known him since before he was born and darn happy about that.

If that story is accurate, that employee should be fired. I’m not normally a “fire him immediately” guy, but that’s pretty bad.

If I go to Cane’s, the guy taking my order should be fired if he starts trying to talk me into going next door and getting a Popeyes chicken sandwich.

I can guarantee it is 100% accurate. My wife can testify as well. She could see how mad I was getting and asked me not to get crazy. I was going to let it go but since we were talking about how bad that place is becoming I decided to share my experience.

Soooo…back to the topic. Anyone have ideas on engaging with the Office of Communications and Marketing on this issue? Would a collective effort from the fanbase send more of a message?
