If you don't think that's the case, then scroll through several threads and get back to me.
    Another Simple Jack. We don’t expect to be LSU, we expect to be the standard bearer for the SBC. You do understand that UL has as good a chance to make the CFP as LSU does? We don’t have as good a chance to win a title as they do though.

    We are who we are, which should be the favorite to the SBC in every sport nearly every year.

    That isn't what you said. You said people on RP except to be LSU. Which is absurd.

    Oh, they're out in full force today. Admin put more effort into mobilizing their apologist than they did promoting the ____ing football game.

    I don't think setting up a benchmark to be like some of these schools is a bad thing.

    Doubters from the outside who think you should know your place are to be expected. When you give people with those mindsets a paycheck every two weeks, you’ve got a real problem.

    This thread has become so chaotic. It's hilarious.

    Posters who think UL can be major college football program. Posters who think that a long way off. Posters who think UL wants nothing more than to be the best version of itself. Posters who think UL wants to be like other schools. Posters who think UL doesn't compare itself to P5 schools. Posters who directly compare UL to P5 schools.

    If you're saying people shouldn't aspire to maximize what we have here, you're part of the problem. If we're not utilizing athletics properly, shut the damn doors. Stop asking people for their loyalty, financial support and commitment, and then shaming them when you p|ss it down the drain because of laziness or lack of care.

    Here's the question: What is UL's ceiling?

    Louisville was once in the Missouri Valley Conference and a 1-A Independent. They are now in the ACC.

    If we knew how to think big around here, we would aspire a similar path.

    Why do you care enough to be on a message board of a team you aren’t a fan of asking their fans what the ceiling is? Isn’t that weird?

    How about this Benevolent One: you tell us what the ceiling is. After all you are experiencing on all things UL, despite being admittedly ignorant on almost every topic of discussion.
