Louisiana Can't Escape the Will Wade Saga

[CajunNation]

And we're always talking about perception with us and CUSA. They may not necessarily be better than us as a conference but the perception says so. Moving to the SLC would be a killer for us. No thanks.

Remember the scenario.

Indy for football. Remove the SBC label. Our perception will be whatever we make of it.

BIG 12 for baseball and softball. Enough said.

Basketball? How about this. I agree that the SLC or ASUN would be a step down, but there is another option.
5 year RPI average:

17-CUSA
17-SBC
17-Summit


I would be willing to pay the extra travel for basketball to stay in a comparable RPI league as CUSA if it means getting rid of the SBC label and placing that BIG 12 patch on our baseball and softball unis.

This would also solidify LOUISIANA as our brand as well as a BIG 12 member.

“We do what’s best for LSU.”

Yeah, by scheduling two teams that we spanked this past season.

It's no coincidence that he scheduled other teams from Louisiana rather than us. Since they still call us UL Lafayette, he was quick to schedule UL Monroe to stick it to us. It isn't about OOC RPI or he wouldn't have scheduled who he did. He ridiculed us for our OOC schedule, but LSU's non P5 schedule is not better.

Wade is a choad - don't exactly know what a choad is, but it organically feels like it fits Crawfish Wade.

We're the only public university in the state that doesn't genuflect every time lsu@br's name is mentioned. They will never let up, and neither will we.

Amen to that, Brother.

About The Summit.....

There is more than one way to skin a cat. It's no secret they came after Little Rock and UTA a couple of years ago. It's also no secret that NMSU is a mercenary for hire. The Summit is at 8 members. They are desperate. We come with a 4 team deal. This would put The Summit at 12 with a Southern Division of:

Denver/New Mexico State
Oral Roberts/Little Rock
UTA/Louisiana


Before deal:

#14 CUSA
#19 The Summit
#20 SBC

After Deal:

#14 The Summit
#15 CUSA
#23 SBC

Also, we would be showing the BIG 12 that Louisiana is capable of fielding competitive programs with the travel necessary to cover roughly the same footprint in all non football sports.

I never heard of that conference. I was shocked how awful it is. Why would we trade one bad conference for another bad conference With more travel? Like it or not, Cusa is our next landing spot.

Big 12 is going to take us for baseball and softball? Ok...

You are right they won't"take" us.

Especially during the silent phase.

However if it was public that Louisiana was available... They would beg us.

Wonder what Tit Wad Willy would think of ESPNU’s summary 😂
