What Happened

We lost 3 generations under Dr A and T-Joe is starting to look and act a lot like him.

Starting to??

30 years is basically one generation . . . so we probably didn’t lose 3 . . .

I believe 20 years. My genealogy history research has about five generations per century on both my wife and my lines. Hers I was able to trace to 650 AD.

But for football purposes every time you lose a class you lose a generation

Roughly 8 full four year graduating classes that were neglected.

I was just guessing on the 30 years . . . please explain losing a generation every year . . . that is hard to believe . . .

So I imagine that you build your alumni base one year at a time. Say we manage to get 1000 students from NOLA every year. For my purposes they all live and return to NOLA. We have a great community of people who should be inclined to support us. I’ve yet to meet a UL grad who isn’t supportive enough to wish us well in metro NOLA.

Again every class brings future generations. Again I’m speaking sports only.

Isn't it about time for Joe to retire? Who would take his place?

[CajunVic]

If that is the case, then it is way more than 30 generations . . . for all practical purposes, we have never done it right . . .

Men are talking . . . don’t get in here and show even more when you don’t know, you just don’t know . . .

For families generations are birth to children. For countries and institutions every year is the beginning of a new era.

For me that was 38 . . .

Except for here, each was the beginning of a new error . . .
