. . . growing up with much grand parent contact, I learned English and Cajun French at the same time . . . as years pass, because there are few opportunities for use, I have become less and less fluent . . . but can still carry on a conversation and my wife understands . . .
in high school, at parish day government, I gave my campaign speech in English . . . then continued. . . Pour ses la qi compra pas en Engles svra repetit on frances . . . and repeated my speech in Cajun French . . . I could never read or write a lick of French . . .

Well I look at this university to be the beacon that keeps Cajun Culture and French Heritage alive in Louisiana.

I mean academic but also athletically, that’s why our tailgates should be like a Cajun Festival before and after . We should have everything a Cajun purest would want at an atheltic event.

I want to see parades, I want to trail rides, Cajun food etc. festivals at football and atheltic events we need to ramp it up 10 fold!

Let's put some teeth into this and put out a French Football broadcast on the web

Should have been doing this since the beginning.

Another golden marketing campaign opportunity. Globally. Let's see how we handle it..

If the university is serious about promoting Francophone studies and Cajun Culture, a football broadcast in Cajun French is mandatory.

Highlights from that broadcast would be a weekly feature on Gameday. It would be such a marketing win and would do more than has ever been done in recent decades to keep the Cajun language alive locally.
