What a difference 12-years makes.

It's cyclical. Something is new in town that has never been seen before, and people will flock to it as long as there is "juice". Inevitably, it winds down for various reasons. See Icegators and Championship Cajun football.

This happens because people that do this are not part of the family. They have not incorporated the thing in question into their soul. The people that make up the RCAF have, and that is about it.

How do you make people believe that they are now in your family and will always remain loyal through it all? It's not about new buildings or new coaches. It's about relationships. It's about mutual respect. It's about meeting the needs of them. It's about communication.

There is the rub. People eventually tire of this family because the people that run this place, time and again, either fail at communicating or never wanted us around in the first place.

COMMUNICATION is UL's Achilles, you nailed it right there.

In my opinion, for college football to survive in the G5, we need our own playoffs with restricted transfers and sensible nil. Let the big conferences suffocate themselves with greed.

you think they would blow up the entire current bowl system for a glorified 1990s I-AA playoff system??

[CajunEXPRESS]

LOL, ok, consider this; Cajuns make the playoff next year and have to play Ohio State on the road. How many Cajun fans make that trip?

If the Cajuns make the playoffs I’m certain it’s as the G5 representative. That school is going to host a wildcard team in the first round.

I guarantee the G5 representative will be the 12 seed 100%. That team will travel to the 5 seed. A G5 will NEVER, EVER, EVER host a playoff game. EVER

For the first time in my life I’m actually starting to somewhat lean towards this idea. Crazy.

like winning the nit.

Yup. If it means more money for the P5,4, 3, 2, or 1.

I would like that.

[Sonsissymia]

I would like that.

but would you like that being the highest you could aspire to?

Well if thats the highest one could aspirre to, I would love it, but realistically I dont expect eminent evaporation of the current concoctions.

Never say never. Cincy, Boise and UCF all would have hosted at some point in the past.
