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.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what Caelan wrote. It's an analysis of what he saw. As long as his analysis is fact-based, he's good. Whether you agree with his analysis is another issue altogether.

Journalists covering a sports team have no obligation to be "cheerleaders" for those teams. A sportscaster/announcer hired by the team or school is the lone exception to that rule, and even then, there's a fine line in terms of how much homerism a team broadcaster should included (see Harrelson, Hawk, and Graf___nini, Todd).

Good luck, Caelan, and remember, the defense allowed more than 250 rushing yards, not over.

NOTE: An "ag" is supposed to go where the blank is in Todd's last name. The bots censored it.

I found that out the hard way.

For years I couldn't understand why Bruce Brown and Dan Mcdonald just wrote matter of fact storoes

I thought they should be cheerleaders, write rah rah stories leading up to the game etc.

It wasn't till I read Bruce Brown's book that I realized, there are other ways.

It's not kicked off if they are not going.

Why does it seem like every wheel always needs to be reinvented. Maybe ask the aforementioned Mr Foote what he did during his student days

Even better: Ask Foote if you can ride with him to drivable away games. That's how I got to a bunch of games during my college career. I'd ride with the SID to get where we needed to go.

Bruce wrote a book? I need to get my hands on a copy.

It couldn’t hurt, but I’m not sure if he’d be so keen on bringing a 19-year-old kid everywhere

Don't Alice Shu fans have something better to do than harras...

It wasn’t an LSU fan. It was someone completely unrelated to that school.

He'd be all in if you pay for fuel and food...

Just call him up, explain your situation to him, and let him know that you're a 49ers fan.

What book are you talking about?

Thank you. A very informative post.

Ride with M$M and his crew. They go to just about all the road games. So say they all can fight so you would also have great security.
