What is most concerning to me is what huckleberry idiot we’d get for an AD when Maggard has enough?
Wasn’t that long ago Cincinnati and UCF were our peers. While they were growing we let politicians bend over our FB program and jammed a toothpick in our backside. It took decades to recover. Look at ULM, Bruno the bozo set them back where we can relate to the struggle. It can happen again. And that mindset seems to be leaching back.
Free Huey!
Free Angela!
Free Mandela!
Free RCAF!
Everyone of those examples is p5 schools. Except cincy who will be next year. Plus cincy has a larger population to draw fans from and in turn money.
Find an example of a g5 in a 100,000 city population 50 miles from a p5(highest level p5 at that)
We are behind a giant 8 ball.
It is amazing how easy it is to find an orange and claim it is an apple when agenda gets in the way . . .
Corvalis, Oregon has a 59k pop. (Oregon State)
Manhattan, Kansas has a 54k pop. (Kansas State)
...there are many more.
I have said this a million times. The only difference between Louisiana and Kansas State is
the conference we call home. There is no proverbial 8 ball to overcome. There is no ticket to punch. We just need luck and time for people to realize just how little difference there is between Louisiana and most P5 schools. There are a lot of P5 schools that are getting gutted by the portal just as much as we were.
With the 12 team playoff and our recent excellence on the field, it's time for perceptions of old to be thrown away like yesterdays trash.
The only real barriers we have as a program that still hold it back are in the minds of our fanbase and our haters who can't let go of the past.
A little easier to recover from blunders and a fall when you have a $160 Million budget and are the only P5 program in a football talent rich state.
By the way, you really don’t recover from cramping in a marathon. When that ____ starts at Mile 21-23…very few really come back from it to finish as strong as they were prior to said cramping.
Auburn and Oxford are small towns as well.
If we were in a p5 conference our budget would be double to triple what it is. Our home schedules would be worlds better. So support and money would go through the roof overnight. Small conference, small tv deals, small town, small budget, and powerhouse Down the road further handicapping all those things.
