Don't Hate on the Students!!!

Ben Archer in 1998

Wasn't there a write up or mention in a subsequent yearbook?

Yes, he threatened to sue the university and we reinstated. It was such BS. The same attitude still exists today.

There is a systemic problem within Martin Hall. They excel in certain areas and are completely inept in others. The problem is that they want to be like the Wizard of Oz.

Thanks for adding more of the background to the story. Would be nice if past issues of The Vermilion were available online.

Not surprising. Just 8 years later, I got a 10PM phone call from Martin Hall. They tried to get me fired from the Vermilion and kicked out of SGA. Neither plan worked.

I guess they learned their lesson, because they never threatened to kick me out of school

There were actually more students than I thought would go to the game. Thank you to the students that attended. Keep it up!!!

I agree. Even though there were less students than last week, there were more than attended last year's games.

I've been threatened by proxy so many times, I've lost count.

Thank you for bringing this up. It leads to the question why would UL want to know the real names of people on RP? Deny us ticket access, ban us from attending UL functions, refuse our donations?

If Ben Archer blew them up, how the heck they think such foolishness would end with donors with probably more worldly savvy than a then college student?

If Maggard quits tomorrow, I couldn’t blame him. UL needs to look in the mirror and quit stifling fan growth, RCAF and a generational AD.

R1 is fantastic…great management plan. But managing “the front porch” like Vernon Wormer isn’t productive.

Lol. You can’t be serious

So they want to limit the amount of fans they have so they can control the narrative at all times? Small time 101

Yea, but... that's exactly what they want. They want to control any and everything, even if it means 8k butts in the seats and no interest in athletics. Don't believe me? Just go ask them.

Look at most FCS programs. Fan page is on Facebook, can delete any distractions with a click. That’s why RP gets targeted.

Kinda like MSM websites…control the narratives but on a smaller scale.
