A Real Head Scratcher (Student attendance tonight)

[KajunKrazy]

I also don't recall anyone ever being confirmed in the late fall/winter timeframe

You are correct my other 2 were in the spring. Changed that this year. Also changed the age to 8th grade. So all Jr, Soph, and Freshman are being confirmed. Our church had confirmation Monday through tonight this week.

I'm not taking a side, just throwing this out there as I like to look at things from different angles.

Earlier this year (February 2023), some members of the student body were pushing for a "Mental Health Day" where the students were given a day off. That is documented in this article: https://thevermilion.net/2023/02/07/...s-and-faculty/

The students were granted the day off, but don't any of you find it odd that it just happened fall on the day of our Thursday night football game. It appears this was coordinated by someone at the university to coincide with our nationally televised football game.

I know Martin Hall isn't in love with athletics, but someone got the Mental Health Day to fall on the exact same day that it works out best for football. I don't think it is just a coincidence.

Last year, USM shut their campus down for the Thursday night game against us. People here praised USM for doing so and complained "UL would never do that". Well, we did it and now we have a lot of the same people complaining about it.

Mental health day? What kind of pu____ies are we raising this day and age?

. . . looking at this thread, they almost got it correct . . . they should have said “for the health of RP posters” . . . there are lots of unhealthy posters here . . . or maybe it’s just negative, not unhealthy, but negative posters here . . .

Ran into my nephew at Red’s. Asked him if he knew why today was a half day…”mental health week?”. I told him it was because of the Southern Miss game tonight…blew his mind!

Should we not feel negative about low turnout tonight? If you're such a supporter of our coaches and players, you should care. But you'd rather complain about the complainers.

It's often healthy to air grievances.
