Champions Square

Average Lafayette person looks at UL the same way the dinosaurs at NCAA, ESPN, etc look at us..

"Yeah they're 11-1, and they're a cute little team down there with their funny name and everything.. but if they played Missouri ten times, would they win more than 1 or 2 times, if at all?"

Continuing this foolish pursuit of convincing people that we are a nationally competitive athletic program is a waste of time. You won't convince locals because you'll never convince nationals. To them we are a great value brand Boise State in a small metro market, not worthy of more than a passing "down in the bayou at Lah-fie-yett" comment

Fix tailgate. Fix GameDay. Create a party worth spending money to attend. Stop this charade of worrying about impressing or offending people outside of Lafayette. They will always look at us like a funny looking stepchild anyway

Exactly !! I don’t care if Florida uses a Gator, or Saints use a FDL, or LaTech uses the state.

Stop the endless debate over the BS and just do what we need to do to better ourselves !!

. . . A Champion Square should only be built at a facility which host the play of major college football . . .

Swamp Circle then

I’m having to assume that you meant out of conference when you said independent. If so, who do you expect them to play? Just curious.

They are playing other majors, that is fine, just don't pretend they arent.

[CajunVic]

Ok, let’s figure it out . . . which are playing major college football

LSU v Grambling

LSU v Army

LSU v Ga State

LSU v Auburn

LSU v Miss State

LSU v Arkansas

LSU v Missouri

LSU v aTm

LSU v Florida

LSU v Ole Miss

LSU v Florida St

. . . it is truly amazing that not one person here was willing to take this challenge . . .

Because nobody can figure out what the hell you're asking

Because nobody can figure out what the hell you're asking

. . . It’s not difficult . . . I provided a list of 12 games and ask in which were they playing major college football . . . for each game the answer is “yes” or “no” . . .

. . . here we go, moving the goal post again . . . when did “playing major football” turn into a “nationally competitive athletic program” . . . and didn’t we play in the tournament which decided the national championship in four sports this past year . . . what you call that . . .

Clueless to what we have here in Lafayette? We have a 4-3 team.

Do you always only think in the right now? Just 2 years ago we showed we have potential of being one of the top 3 g5 programs out there. If the administration makes all the right moves that is.

"POTENTIAL" and "IF" will not make anything happen.
