It was hard to keep this one in. This has been in the works for a while and I don't blame MAT as his family is way more important than UL or sports. Best of luck bud.
I'm with you. My ideal dream was for Louisiana to be in the Big 12.
Lafayette is no Houston or Orlando, however.
As we search to secure financing for our stadium rebuild...
-Houston received anonymous donations of $15mil in the span of 3 months in 2022

-"According to the university’s funding interest application to the Tourist Development Tax Citizen Advisory Task Force it submitted last month, UCF requested $176.6 million over ten years. It would cover about two-thirds of the full $267.8 million cost of the projects."

Do we have big money in Lafayette like that? Honestly asking.
I’ll be 70 by the time something else happens. I was 24 when we started talking about R1 status. “We’re very close” is what they always say. Well 19 years later we made it.
Spare me what we are accomplishing. We are a 4 year university in the only region of the state that is growing. The university is growing by default.
We had a boatload of federal money, more than could be handled, dumped on LCG. And what we got? A bunch of retention ponds, which some engineers think won’t work as advertised. 20 mill would have gone a long way.
Yes and no.
In Houston, no one cares about UH. Not really. Other than Tillman, all the big money is funneled to UT or TAMU.
Same for Orlando. Orlando is more of a nomadic town because so much of Disney/Universal employment is transient. No big money in Orlando goes to UCF, it all goes to UF or FSU.
We're more alike those schools than most people would like to admit. The difference...leadership vision.
As a fan who has followed Cajun football since the 70’s I think the ragin review was a fantastic forum to get message out.
Discovered it at the end of football season last year and really enjoyed it
My older friends and I have been thru very lean years for Cajun football
We really need a push from this athletic dept to promote all Cajun sports to the highest level possible
Never to late
Years ago we got in the mail a media guide tickets and parking passes in mail
Now it is different and ok
Will always be a Cajun fan
Appreciate all the work our younger fans do
