Coach Desormeaux

The NIL collective gives our fans an easily accessible outlet to contribute to making a change in our current situation. We will never stop the blue bloods from poaching our players. Holding on to guys against other G5s is a very tangible goal. Hopefully this opening fundraiser (basketball) is a big success.

There are people not previously involved in strong support helping put this event on. That is encouraging. Hopefully lessons learned from the October 12 event can be used in helping other sports.

. . . and what about the revenue from attendance . . . we only generally put about 18,000 in CF with two top 25 years and we finished Napier's last year with a $5.6m deficit . . . who is going to fill that hole . . . its easy to cherry pick issues and ignore the whole picture . . . that is what posters do here . . . did anyone pay attention to Dr. Fun's post where he said he was really amazed what Dr. S has done with the University with what he had to work with . . . $$$ was what he was talking about when he made that observation . . . MH bet on the come with Napier and ended with a $5.6 deficit . . .

Also the administrations job to put butts in the seats. Everything is a damn excuse around here as to why it can't be / hasnt been done. Hud found a way to put butts in the seats. They literally have been given a blueprint how to do it. But all they do is sit on their damn hands, and people sit here and defend that crap! I will NEVER defend mediocrity. If some of you are OK with status quo, cool. And if not being OK with it makes me a bad/negative fan....so be it. I'll wear that crown.

. . . guess we have too many swingers in Lafayette . . . when the swingers left . . . they all went swinging back to LSU . . .

What are you talking about by saying "meanwhile the bar here is apparently to give someone half a decade to show results just because he's a nice guy and one of us".

Can we agree to at least give CMD more than one season and two games before we convince ourselves that we will be dealing with mediocrity for half a decade or more! A half decade would be 5 years, so let's at least finish season two before we jump off the cliff!

Unnecessary to knock Des like that. With a national search the money might have reappeared.

. . . it has been made pretty clear that such is not the case and anyone listening would have heard that . . . those who fail to listen hear nothing . . .

. . . a search to tell you what you already know is nothing more than an unnecessary cost . . . when one is already under water, it is not prudent to incur unnecessary costs . . . it’s a simple business philosophy . . .
