Cajuns at McNeese

[CajunEXPRESS]

Can’t believe their students rushed the floor for a victory. Truly must be their Super Bowl

[Turbine]

Fans should get involved and express joy in everyday wins.

Subdued reactions kill the experience, and slowly kill gameday.

Any doubters about this game being McNeese’s Super Bowl need to read this. Not an excuse, McNeese was wee-wee’d up.

Man!! I didn’t know we were still rivals. I had forgotten about them. We’re 8-1 in last nine games. I’ll mark my calendar next time. And who are they again. I lose track

He could run the SLC table. Not sure where conference tournament is this year. There were some concessions made in the last year after the SLC gave every sport tournaments to McNeese State after the hurricanes. Good part of the SLC 300+ net. Run the season and win tournament, he’s gone. NIL is a win now proposition in the power conferences, no honor among thieves.

Had nothing to do with hurricanes, they did it because Mcneese was bolting to the WAC

Both are true. The bolting to the WAC was real. The hurricane reason was the SLC giving a palatable reason to the media.


McNeese rushing the court brought this thought to mind. Man, if UL had not choked the students from rushing the field and pulling down the goal posts after winning the CCG, goodness only knows how many generational fans/donors could have been made.

Program the students by making them sit on their hands, they’ll never desire to pull their wallet out their back pockets for you. That’s what they subconsciously learn.

[CajunEXPRESS]

How many generational fans were created by beating ranked
Texas A&M? The university had the good sense to not sell the goalposts to Texas Longhorns, but the poor decision to actually mount them at the stadium for a decade.

Despite his issues, Wade would not win as many games were he not a good coach. I do wonder if he will still be in Lake Charles next season.

He’s still under a “show-cause.” A major school likely doesn’t want that headache so I’d be a little surprised if he left.

McNeese had no risk in taking him on. Bottom feeder school in a bottom feeder league…nothing to lose.

For a higher level mid-major or major program, much more to lose and there’s plenty of better options.

How much longer does the show clause designation go for Wade. I still never figured out what that term really meant.

Why does the show cause not aply to all schools in same division?

And therein is not how to build fandom. The memories keep people coming back, not an artifact. Ironically, a fossil, so to speak.

This is part of the MBB issue. The Blackham crowd longs for games like when they were students. The environment both location and NCAA structure has changed. Had a decade plus run less death penalty time of great basketball. It was emotions.

Those who were students with the Dome had a few peaks with Marty, Jessie, and even Bob. They were there during the time ESPN blew up nationally and the beginning of MBB getting like football structurally. Again, fans miss that emotion.

We all long for the same feelings we had back then.

It’s simple human nature. We long the thrills of our youth. That’s how fans are built.

Not throttling students. Not trashing the staff. Lack of serious marketing. Both CF and dome are not user friendly. CF is getting fixed. Dome?

The dome is fixed. The product playing at the dome is some of the problem.

Why does the show cause not aply to all schools in same division?

It does. Essentially Wade’s infractions at LSU are now McNeese’s problem. He can’t recruit off campus (ie go to summer basketball tournaments and talk to kids). Basically handcuffs him to on-campus duties only.

I believe it expires for him after next season. Biggest issue with show-cause, aside from the scholarship limitations and recruiting restrictions, is McNeese is now on “double-secret probation.”

If Wade commits any sort of violation, McNeese will be penalized harshly. Again, for a school like them, might not be as risky as for a bigger revenue producing program.

And if he leaves McNeese after this season, next school would inherit above restrictions.

It was designed so a coach couldn’t escape the restrictions by jumping ship.
