False

Very much true, though I know you’ll never see it or want to.

Could anyone imagine T-Joe having energy for our athletic program like ULM’s new President here?

The movement by Texas State may have not been a smart financial move on their part, but at least their President, since his hiring in 2022, has been on an energetic mission to raise their athletic brand and build fan support. He’s been at the forefront of the efforts.

Both look to be the complete opposite of our current President who is now just riding things out to a larger retirement paycheck.

She’s a UL grad, maybe she comes home in a year or so.

She’s a UL grad, maybe she comes home in a year or so.

With how giddy she is about playin Tech, these folk would burn her at the stake.

What is she 49? Maybe she just has more energy

The administration has done everything wrong in trying to grow the fanbase. They miss on what we are as a fanbase, they just don’t get it. They refuse to listen to sound suggestions and refuse to correct continued mistakes.

What the administration has done well is sacrifice fan participation in pursuit of more revenue. Corporate money and caters to the tea sipping white collar crowd. They have grown the brand on a national level to a point we didn’t think was possible.

But, make no mistake, lack of fan participation is 90% on the athletic department and 10% on Acadiana.

This muh fuh spittin'

So I think the athletic dept. should do a fund raiser and sell a "We are The LOUISIANA Ragin Cajuns t-shirt or something in one color for that game like a black/white out.

that will surely fix all that ails.

You are the first to offer a cause for athletic lithargy.

You might be right.

a cross between liturgy and lethargy---laziness with a religious zeal?

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.

Nailed it, Zoom
