Got a chance to finally listen to you guys. Well done. Great quality, cool insight, sounded like a bunch of guys sitting around the bar talking Cajuns. Wish it would happen more.

Pretty clear there are some biases and that’s ok. But it’s also clear why there’s an issue with the admin.

Crux of the matter is UL knows it has a problem on its hands. One thing I do disagree with a little is how the fans don’t have a voice. Well, they do, when they say it collectively.

And this year’s basketball attendance is loud and clear. They’re not supporting the product. You can blame tickets, concession costs, schedule issues all you want. The facts are this team is not being supported, and it’s clear to know why.

Also, does USM “own” UL in basketball? Split the season series last year, couldn’t get the rubber match b/c USM wasn’t good enough for it. And UL has another shot at a split this season.

Regardless, I hope you guys continue the hustle. You clearly have an audience whether they want to give you access or not!

Great episode guys. I for one am behind you 100%!

Only listened to the first 20 or so minutes thus far, but in all of this what appears to be Admin vs. Fans/Students/Community fight (I know there are layers to this, but I'm trying to compartmentalize) I just keep thinking about the staff that we have on hand at the moment. They may not all be local, but they most likely worked at a university before. This is the world they live in.

Josh mentioned the gentleman that he spoke with asked him the question about the disconnect. I think he said he came from TAMU.

You're telling me with all this prior experience on campuses around the country, some in the SEC even, you can't figure out Lafayette, Louisiana? I did not know we were that complex. And the fact that you're still asking remedial questions just make me feel less hopeful.

Pool your collective experience. You are not idiots. You are professionals that know (or are supposed to know) universities and college athletics. There is so much parity. Especially among the SunBelt. Look at the stuff the successful schools are doing, paint it vermillion and see if it works here. Then rinse and repeat.

All of that and stop letting the "elite" few make decisions that impact so many. Acadiana is a community. The university should reflect that. Sure, there is a hierarchy, but you look very foolish when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

I’m wondering the same thing. Are we just not talking about this, or what?

I just hope it means they are going to war. We all need to join their army.

Don't forget, It wasn't over when the "Germans bombed Pearl Harbor".

A wise man once told me:

“ Most colleges have problems with the boosters illegally recruiting players. We have a problem with boosters haranguing fans.”
