Just to be Clear....

. . . this board surely does not have a shortage of posters consistently wanting to put Louisiana down as opposed to ever praising our accomplishments as a university . . . and lord my god don’t show up here with praise because all you will get is constant harassment
. . . been there felt that . . .

Forum is here for disagreement. You just believe that the bird is always right when that just is not the case. Its ok for people to disagree with whatever the coach is saying.

Never stop looking for ways to improve.

Suggestions should be considered.

Here is one suggestion.

The university commercial for academics is pathetic. It shows someone in ballet striving for an education that she can get at UL Lafayette. This is the 2nd year this has been running.

Why not change that to reflect that UL is now R1 and a Top 100 research university, show video of the beautiful campus, athletic facilities and highlight why a student should attend UL? This current commercial gives no information about the university and can't possibly entice anyone to attend.

I wrote to Dr. S back in May and suggested that if we can use LOUISIANA athletically, we should be able to use LOUISIANA academically. I gave him suggested logos to use. We can show the University of Louisiana at Lafayette once, then refer to the university as LOUISIANA. He said he would present it to Communications & Marketing to discuss. No word since then.

This commercial should be effective marketing for UL locally, statewide and nationally and the platform is completely wasted, IMO.

C80, I do agree. Criticism and debate is warranted here. But it seems that it's to the point of a divided fanbase.

You sure use the term "this board" a lot and always in a derogatory manner. Why are you so obsessed with what an overall fanbase thinks?

. . . so, now posting favorably about Louisiana, it’s players and it’s coaches on this school’s fan message board is called obsessed . . . laugh out loud, real loud . . . some of you have really lost it and I wonder at times why one even come here if you hate this place so much . . .

Because everyone is ridiculed for not falling in line. I think people are just passionate and have expectations. People like Vic just get hurt when others don't go along with him.

You love to hide behind your take that you just post favorably about the school lol.
