Old enough be be your father…was at USL during NO basketball. Probably why my perspective of “it’s not coming back like it was” is based on Blackham. It can’t, UL isn’t or ever will be in a power conference, independents can’t hang. The Mothership sets the agendas; any doubt, look at college football. We “get” to play crossover MBB games with the MAC. Know our place games if you will. The DOME and its cost of attendance has chipped MBB down from the start. And there’s nothing short of a new university owned building that can fix that problem. And the fix would be short term, greed would return.
Yeah, saw you play at the dome to answer JMV’s question.
D1 experience is the path, no guarantee. I’m far from the only one to tell you that. But obviously Biddy and h/s is a non starter, otherwise someone would have came calling with a can’t refuse offer. If anything, if you aspire for the next level, disappear from message boards. Mean that with all sincerity in a positive manner. I don’t know if Turbine would let you, delete all u have out there. There’s things I’ve put out there I’m not particularly proud of in retrospect, but I’ve retired…twice. Probably get dinged with a negative DEI point or two on my credit score if I’m alive when that becomes a regular thing. The cost of going to church in the future.
It’s a job just like politics. Have friends running this fall. Internet postings, even with the best of intentions, done years ago, are fodder used against others.
I can’t apologize for statically pointing out the repeated falsehoods many have made regarding attendance at the dome. The competition may have changed, but dropping a Franklin plus for a family is an issue for most. That’s a hurdle that falls on LCG/UL. Been a progressive problem, kicked to the curb.
Again be better, do better. You’re a teacher, a role model.
God bless and good luck.
