Coach Desormeaux

. . . that was an anomaly of factors that may never happen again in a lifetime . . . it was not a standard then and probably will never be a standard in the future . . . but we can dream . . .

Hey I resemble that remark.

. . . many of us do . . .

. . . trust me, you are not in the minority . . . you may be in the minority of those who post here, but you know complaintants are usually the loudest . . . they want more than their fair share of the cheese . . .

The majority who post here support Desormeaux. They just don't post on the topic.

I saw a virtual wall poster yesterday, that has nothing to do with expressing an opinion but everthing to do with harping on a topic.

It said:

"My mom once told me
Once you are matured,
you will realize that
SILENCE is more powerful
than proving your point."

. . . other than for the owner of a sports message board in which case silence would make him go broke . . .

It’s a great idea to have Coach Hud back in some capacity or find a similar personality to grow the RCAF. Our student athletes, fans, and alumni deserve and need it.

That is a different topic all together.

On that topic I will say "GeauxBigRed"

Consider what Hud did with our fan base while here. 50,000 plus for our first bowl game. He got students, Lafayette and Acadiana excited about UL football. Not likely to happen, but would love to see him move back here and head up RCAF. With the new stadium going up next year and his marketing, things could explode over here.

I love how the number gets higher and higher as time goes by. We did not bring 50k to Nola for the first bowl game. The total attendance was 42k. Next year was 48k against ecu and then 54k against Tulane. We’ve never brought 50k to Nola although we had the majority of the fans there minus the bowl game against usm.

However correct you may be that is a rather nuanced take.

Every fan base in the country claims total attendance as their own.

You grew up in God’s country! Nothing like living on the Teche. My parents built on the bayou after we all graduated. I won’t be in the bayou but we’re about to close on a property near the park that’s a pecan grove. My family’s been on the Teche since 1789 and less than a handful have left the area.

Yup, it was all country back then. Fish whenever, water skiing, cane fields & mini bikes were great, & a 2 story treehouse with a roof and electricity. Darn good environment to grow up in. Like you, generations lived on the Teche or water, but after parents nobody on bayou but my bro is still in the area with the big unusual house behind Sugar Oaks off Vida Shaw. You probably have seen the house, @6k under roof.

Thanks for the memories.

True. Most of the fan base is old, bald, and gray.

Does 2 out of 3 count? LOL
