Football championship banner/flag

[CajunEXPRESS]

Basketball, Baseball and Softball all have banners/plaques honoring past championships.

Why the disconnect for football?

We should have something that everyone can see that recognizes our Big West Championship, Sunbelt Championships and National Rankings. This is not hard. This is inexpensive. This is very effective at building cULtureo and intimidation.

This issue is CENTRAL to the cULture. It should be the guiding light of the program.

There is a lot I don't understand about this university, but its failure to do this is the most baffling.

It’s clear that they don’t want athletics to become important. Fossil DNA will be strong for multiple generations.

We like being just slightly better than the Hoax, and other on state universities. As long as it doesn’t collapse they’re happy. How else do you explain Big Fish for a bakers dozen.

Sorry but a banner doesn't intimidate anyone.

Agree, and to add, the number ONE thing it does is recognize & help build TRADITION! This school is constantly going through an identity crisis of one sort, or other. Tradition is something that sets a bar of excellence to jump over. To disavow the tradition of success is to accept the mediocrity which outsiders wish to heap upon you. There is no foundation for future success unless one embraces the success of their past.

How can this school allow itself to be put in that position when it clearly has the opportunity to embrace excellence? And all for the price of a dog & frisbee show.

It isn't about intimidation dumb dumb. It's about the pride of ownership of excellence. You don't put banners in stadiums to scare other people. You put them in places of respect. To be honored by your future players, fans & coaches. If the reaction by those players & coaches is right, they will do the intimidating.

Right. Not the purpose.

Think about this. How many times this season has UL played on national television & had the opportunity to have the SBC championship banner be blasted to every potential recruit in this land & blown that opportunity. If I were Mike, I would have personally taken some of that new found money & had one hung myself if I couldn't talk the school into paying for a banner. And I would have hung right over that bell no one wants to ring. This administration reminds of the song American Pie. They are the most depressing group of supposedly educated people on Earth.

Excuse me, but doesn't the school across the basin have something called "The Intimidator" ?

These are some damn good looking Championship Banners too.

I never said it wasn't about pride. I also never said a banner intimidates players. Go back and read what others said and my response. I know VObserver gave you some good strategy advice last night. Geaux Cajuns. When you want to come to a softball game with us let me know.

Your correct nobody has won a game at that place since the sign went up. It didn't intimidate Stony Brook.

Nice! Did you photo shop that?
