Basketball Season Tickets

Yea, it was different back then. There was none of that fluffy “time out” stuff. There was just “the belt”

Or the game where Bo scored 62 points. Playing Northeast, a visitor fan kept yelling “One man team, one man team”. I was only about 10, but I stood up and yelled “One man is beating your whole team!” My Dad glared at me and said, “Sit down and shut up!”

I'm not your Dad but a high five goes out to you from me!

I was in college during the Jesse Evans’ years. The dome was packed and we were so damn good!
Fun times!

There have been some really good times in the Cajun Dome and the Cajuns have had some good teams playing there. But for those of you too young to have experienced Cajun Basketball in Blackham in the very late 1960's and very early 1970's, you can't even imagine how good, intense, rowdy and enjoyable those times were.

Those were great times, but those of us who are getting some age on us and were there in Blackham for the Bo Lamar days, saw what the height of excitement looked like. We were ranked as high as #4 in the nation! I guess there was no fire martial back then, because were sitting in the isles at times, all the way is all sections. And it was loud!!!

Basketball at its finest back then. As students, we waited in line an hour before the game to get our seats. The best rivalry back then was USL v. LA Tech. Bo Lamar, Ebron, vs. Mike Green. Blackham was always packed and the games were awesome. We also had a hell of a rivalry with Lamar U. who had great basketball back then. Their coach moved on to UH and they have never been the same. I remember Sports Illustrated covering the Long Beach State game. Ed Ratliff was their All American player. If I remember correctly, Ratliff and Lamar played on the same high school team. Shipley went to scout Ratliff and ended up signing Lamar. What a coup that was for USL. Those who never witnessed USL basketball back then really missed something. Great memories!

Actually, Lamar's Coach (Billy Tubbs) moved on to Oklahoma, not UH.

I was thinking of Pat Foster.

And then we beat his azz in the NCAA's vs OU.

The best days are ahead of us. We just have to show up and support Coach Q and this squad.

Don't see how we can be better than what we did/were during the Shipley years. Too much has changed and the difference in $$ makes this vitually impossible.

I've maintained my season tickets for basketball and will continue to support Coach Q and the program. He's certainly been a "splash hire" so far and I'm definitely looking forward to the season start!

C4L wasn't here for the Blackham days. The good old days for him is the Jesse Evans era.
