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

[Turbine]

No one ever liked the idea of same system, same state ULM and Louisiana in the same conference.

If 2 was bad, 3 must be better?

Coaches are not going to disrespect other programs in their league publicly. What is said behind closed doors is another matter. Come on, do you really believe they would embarrass their AD and President publicly? BTW, these coaches would much rather bus to Ruston than Texas State. Besides, they can stop and eat at Foote's favorite Chicken/Burger joint on the way.

I wasn’t talking about the coaches, T. I know they have to give “coach speak”.

Lessons of the past are being forgotten. Historically these other universities have always been adversaries. Blackballing USL for integrating sports teams and the treatment of Shipley by the state HOF crowd. The SLC, McNeese and other state institutions actions/attitudes when USL wanted to remain D1 in football. The ‘84 name fight. The subsequent 90’s UL name game, where ULM made the first “Louisiana” move. Academically, as UL silently approached R-1 status, “collaborations” started happening with that ilk. The whole time, they all reeked of Tiger taint.

And here we are, some fake love fest with the “Flagship of I-20”, helping prop up 2 meh institutions for the price of one.

Everyone with half a brain can see the SBCE will bolt. I can’t blame them, ULM is being propped up like Bernie Lomax and Tech’s reputation preceded this. And we’re guilty by association. But cheap and easy of the GSC of the 1950’s is coming. Staying relevant is work, it can’t be brushed off like 3rd party contracts.

Rant off.

Glad they are, because I’m sure not.

Maggard definitely doesn’t care about loly poly past insults, keeping us out of CUSA, insults to the Conference. Maggard has no pride, he’s all about money and big spenders. He has forgotten the middle class and retirees.
Cajuns have pride and they don’t like to be insulted

Benedict Arnold!!!

EXACTLY, #GEAUX SEC

The writing was on the wall.......lol

Why wouldn't they make the effort to explain this decision prior to the vote? You know, possibly get an idea of how the fans who donate feel about this. I wonder if they actually care about what we think. In my opinion, they don't give a s h i t about us. This will backfire on them.

You are exactly right, why not get feedback from Cajun Nation. They are have problems with getting money from Diehards. I personal won’t support STUPIDITY.

No anti conference mate rant. (already a thread for that)

How do we make the best of this relationship going forward?
