Looking for Help ...

[Grantvb]

Keep going, young man.

[Des for Pres]

Don't see you finding it here.

Second to last paragraph of Louisiana v Florida State -

"Simply put, the Cajuns were outclassed against the ranked Florida State, from the opening kickoff until the clock hit triple zeros. The defense allowed over 250 rushing yards, and the offense was putrid. The Seminoles completely dominated the Cajuns, and I tip my hat to them. If you’re a sports better, you should have picked the ‘Noles to win by more than 24 points."

RaginPagin is a forum of Alumni, Fans and a stopping ground of officials of the University of Louisiana, and rightfully so. Wise of you to visit us but we are not a collection of un-wise. Your words of a Program which originated over 120 years ago do not reflect the honor we hold of our treasure in Acadiana.

I hope my words strengthen and harden your focus on the mastering of your craft.

Swamp.

Get a fricken grip dude. You're the type to complain that we have no-one covering the cajuns then crap on a young guy looking to cover the cajuns and improve his work.

Day 1 update: I have raised $130 of my $2,000 goal. As always, a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Thanks to all who have left positive messages, donated, and/or supported me in a multitude of ways.

- I have written for multiple games including away games in Hattiesburg, Tallahassee and San Marcos.

- I have written stories for the newspaper, helping contribute to a team that won Best Student Newspaper Award at the 2023 Southeastern Journalism Conference in Thibodaux.

- I have built working relationships with those who are working in the communications department at Louisiana as well as other beat writers such as Kevin Foote of the Daily Advertiser.

- Most importantly, Mrs. Carolyn Broussard (may she rest in peace) helped me improve my writing skills to get me to where I am today.

Kevin Foote left the DAily Advertiser for the Acadiana Advocate several years ago. He does a great job being the Cajuns beat writer for that publication, although the deadlines makes game day stories a little late. Cory Diaz is the Daily Advertiser writer for Cajuns football. He also covers Cajuns baseball after LSU WBB ends. Advertiser does not cover Cajuns basketball. Good luck in your effort. More coverage we receive the better and our students do not to know what is going on what out athletic efforts.

Seek elsewhere.

Thank you.

Dude, really? Who made you the gatekeeper here? There's always the option for YOU to leave.

[JMV JustMyView]

Bump.

[MrCaelan04]

In the thread that I named “Looking for help”, I posted the link to a donation page for my travels for Louisiana football.

Thanks to all who have donated and have supported me, because as of 8PM, I have reached $255 of my $2,000 goal, which is 12%. That kicks ass, and it’s indicative of how supportive you guys are of me and my journeys in Cajuns’ journalism.

Unfortunately PayPal (where all of these donations bank to) will only let me instantly obtain the first $200 (which means y’all have been kicking ass even more) until I can fix it.

At this pace, I will reach above and beyond the goals I had set forth. If the rate stays as it is (which I do not expect because I understand that people will only donate once), I will reach $2,805.

I want to once again thank you all for helping me out, and if we can get this goal done, I promise that I will pour my gratitude and support into my writing.

Do you know anyone in SGA? I think they could write an appropriation to give money to the Verm specifically for you to travel. (At least if things still work the way they did 20 years ago)

[MrCaelan04]

I can sure try, but with it being summer I don’t know when they meet next.

[BabbForHeisman]

I can sure try, but with it being summer I don’t know when they meet next.

Yeah it would have to be after the fall semester starts. But I assume you don’t need all of this money in hand immediately anyway.

[MrCaelan04]

Not immediately. The Norfolk game is September 9th, so I have time

[Jacob81]

Norfolk game? What sport are we talking about? Sept 9? Soccer?
