    When I mentioned perceptions in the minds of our fanbase and our haters, I was including a few minds in Martin Hall.

    I can do this all day.
    And yet not one of the universities originally mentioned in the post (TCU, UFC and Cincinnati) have a P5 within 45 miles of their campus. The rest of your list is irrelevant as it doesn’t pertain to the original example. Plus they are in P5 conferences. UL isn’t.

    ...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.
    And millions of dollars from major bowl appearances, millions from TV contracts, national TV exposure weekly, etc., money for well known coaches, etc. The differences are night and day.

    While their spoon fed Baby Huey upbringing created disparity, the school across the Basin is irrelevant to Louisiana's current issues.

    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.
    Doesn’t change the fact that everyone receives setbacks. It’s how you respond that matters.

    By the way, I cramped at mile 21 on the only marathon I ran and it definitely screwed my time up…but I recovered enough to finish. Goal was accomplished…I reached greatness within myself. Louisiana will do the same.

    To become relavant, minimize irrelevance.

    Having said that, I would not consider a $5 RCAF membership, irrelevant.

    Listen, if we can continue to recruit at a high level on the OL and DL, we will be a legit CFP contender when the expansion happens. If we are fortunate to win 10 or 11 regular season games and the SBC championship we will be in the playoffs and build our fan base that way.

    My first marathon was definitely my worse. I learned a lot of valuable training information that I was able to apply to future road races after running my first marathon. I will say that athletically the marathon was the hardest thing I ever did. Hurt all over for 3 straight days.

    What's the difference between the 24/7 recruiting site and On3? On3 has us 13 spots higher in the rankings than 24/7. I mean, 80 isn't great, but it's higher than 24/7.
