Create a numbered list of these things and go nail it to the doors of Martin Hall. Call it the Cajun Reformation.

Conflicts with the next home game on 10/22...The Boudin and Bacon Cookoff, downtown Lafayette, 10a-4p and the Rice Festival in Crowley....

Simple solution? Call them up, pitch the annex idea, both parties benefit.

Hell, give me the contact info. I'll do it.

While in BR, nothing but Tiger Football is planned for their next home game, Oct.8th...https://www.visitbatonrouge.com/even...%5D=2022-11-03

We plan on doing the Boudin Cookoff in the AM and then tailgate in the PM. Easy, peasy.

99.9264% certain Rice Festival ain't moving from Crowley to Lafayette. It's an Acadia Parish thing (compare the rice to sugar cane ratio between Acadia and Lafayette Parishes), and Crowley is the Parish seat.

Now the Boudin and Bacon cookoff already in Lafayette, that could be an opportunity.

Grand Reveil Acadien doesn’t care about sports and promoting at football games. They’re actually not a very well run group.
La Commission De L'Odyssee Acadienne is very well run out of Canada but once again football is not even in their train of thought.
Louisiana Travel does partner with UL.
We even have Dr Rees on campus and I’ve worked with him through the New Acadia Project. He sets up a booth at our events & will talk to a tree to get the word out about our history. However, put him at a UL football game and many people will ignore him.

Many of these cultural groups are full of great ideas but don’t have any “doers” that will make the ideas a reality. UL has taken many of the ideas brought up on this board & tried them. They just haven’t gained traction.

What if Louisiana offered a French broadcast stream for sporting events? Would their interest level increase?

Our current situation with this administration is like playing the old board game, OPERATION. You try to focus on one problem that needs "surgery", but you inevitably get SHOCKED by what surrounds it.

That is one thing I thought of after seeing another school having a Spanish broadcast. However, is that an option with the current ESPN contract?

Seems like something that stream team could handle independently. I'm sure we can find a french speaking Cajuns fan to do PxP. Doesn't Bobby N speak french?

This should have been done decades ago.

Y'know, Acadiana was Spanish property when the Acadiens were sent here. Hence, the Gold Castle for the Kingdom of Castile, Spain on the Acadiana Flag. We should have a Spanish broadcast, a French broadcast and an English broadcast.

Louisiana is a Gumbo of nationalities. Acadiana is the home of Festivale. UL should already have this in place.
