UL AD and Coaches THRILLED With Louisiana Tech Being Added to Sunbelt West

Not saying you are right or wrong. I know nothing about how he feels towards athletics. But I do think it’s unfair to say maggard isn’t emotionally invested in this program. You can see his emotions on the sideline of every football game. Go look back at the game winning kick against Georgia southern and the kick wake forest doinked off the upright. He looks like a kid jumping up and down. I think it would be almost impossible to not be emotionally invested after all the years he has been here. Doesn’t mean I disagree with his scheduling or some other things.

I agree about his passion. If you see him during games, he's biting his fingers. You would swear he had money on the game.

We are in the midst of our most successful era of Cajuns football. We have achieved this without the association of La Tech.

Meanwhile La Tech is in their worst era of football. Which they achieved by chasing separation from ULM and us.

We do not need ULM or La Tech to be successful, but both of those programs need us.

So what benefits do they bring to our program?

None.

The only "ONLY" plus I have seen offered is travel cost savings with Tech.

This is a false positive due to the fact that if travel costs mattered the two schools would have been facing each other annually for the last 25 years.

Travel costs did not matter.

So the answer is "none"

The people on this board aren’t where RCAF is coming up short. Nice try though.

Like one of my favorite philosophers (Turbine) used to say:

"nothing ventured nothing gained."

Hey. I think RCAF should hire you. You’ve basically done the same thing they’ve been doing since the inception. Showing up with hands out to the same 2,000 people. You’ll fit in nicely.

This gotta be the ticket guy, right? Has to be.

I have gainful employment currently, but thanks.

But I will agree, they have zero outreach to attract new donors(everyday people).

True, he does get excited at some games, I’ve seen it. I also know most sports fans can get pretty excited when watching games without any real ties to either teams.
I like Dr Maggard as a person and he’s a competent Athletic Director. I don’t see the passion to get UL Athletics to any point higher than where we are. Ever hear him speak about it? I never have. I guess it looks more like he’s trying to tread water. Play bad teams for a good record, and point and say look, we are winning. This is not good enough.

Dr Authement had incredible passion on game day and attended many practices during the week.

That does not mean he made the right moves for long term growth of the program.

Fair enough
