Legend’s on Bertrand

[RaisingCajun08]

Jared Doise must be completely hands off on his business.

His stance was completely opposite when he first became a Professor at Louisiana

I know where you going with this and somewhat agree. I would not think he is hands off. I just think his business has grown so much he had to step away from the details. Has to focus on running a "corporation" and let managers run the individual locations.

what if yard goat offered UL more money than legends for the sponsorship and the university told them they had to match or beat yard goat $ to keep the official sponsor title. Would you be ____ed that we advocate supporting local all the time yet let outside owners come in and kick you to the side after supporting the program for years??

My response to that is that they weren't doing much besides just paying to be the official sponsor. No social media presence pushing for UL away game watch parties. Countdown to LSU games on Pinhook Legends signage. My anecdotal experience at the new location on Verot where an LSU game audio was given preference over UL.

So, if your hypothetical is the truth then they have no sympathy from me.

I have to admit: this is the first I read of the LSU posting. Maybe I missed it in the is thread. I do agree with you all that that’s BS.

With that said, and this is pure message board talk here as I have 0 clue of the situation, but what if yard goat offered UL more money than legends for the sponsorship and the university told them they had to match or beat yard goat $ to keep the official sponsor title. Would you be ____ed that we advocate supporting local all the time yet let outside owners come in and kick you to the side after supporting the program for years??

Sir, you quoted and directly responded to my post where I specifically mentioned the lsu countdown.

Look I’m not a big name guy. I couldn’t care less if someone trolls us by calling us ull or u lala or lafayette. But when you are an official sponsor of “Louisiana athletics” yet promote lsu athletics while at the same time calling us ull on your signs that’s not gonna sit right with me. It’s not gonna sit right with a lot of people. It’s pretty simple to understand.

IF Legend’s is doing this out of spite (again like you, I’m not saying they are, but hypothetically), I don’t see how that’s gonna lead anyone to increased sympathy for Legend’s in this situation. In the current market where every little thing (including boudin) has an official sponsor, there is plenty of room for hurt feelings within the business community. Taking those hurt feelings and lashing out against UL when you still have a loyal customer base of UL supporters who fill your business on a regular basis (particularly the one near the athletic complex that I originally posted about) is a very strange “____ off” those customers. Also, with the accounts others have posted of the LSU advertisements, I don’t see how they would have much of a leg to stand on in moral superiority of “supporting local.” IMO, this is either a glaring oversight that continues to happen or very childish if what you suggested is the case. Either way: bad business.

Yeah when you have a business partnership/sponsorship with a business/school maybe you should respect the brand (UL/Louisiana) they go by, otherwise thats just bad business relationship practice

If you know we don't like to be called ULL, then it is common courtesy to use UL.

Damnit, you're right. Getting old sucks. I got fixated on the ULL topic.

I am now confused - is Legend's the official sponsor at the moment or The Yard Goat?
CAn't keep up with all these sponsors.

Yard Goat is the official "road game headquarters" not sure what title if any Legends currently has
