That Was Disgusting Saturday

[KajunKrazy]

Pardon me but ol' Artificial Intelligence has a different view:

ai:begin

The University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana) began calling its football stadium "The Swamp" in **1988**.

According to official records, the nickname originated in the summer of 1988 when the then–Strength & Conditioning Coach, **Mickey Faulkinberry**, suggested referring to Cajun Field as "The Swamp." The name quickly caught on among fans, appeared on stadium signage, and was featured in the school yearbook that same year, and then in the 1989 official Southwestern Louisiana sports media guide ([ragincajuns.com][1]).

So, to recap clearly: **1988** is the year Cajun Field officially began being referred to as **“The Swamp.”**

I think he was referring to the 2 tigers with Death Valley. LsuA&M stole that from Clemson.

probably so. brain is running slow today.

Regarding what you saw up in McElligott, it simply makes no sense. I will Never understand it.

"The Sultan of The Swamp" was drafted in 1990.

Yeah the game was bad but thats not what I am talking about here.

Last night as I was leaving my seats and entered the McElligott club to go to the exits, I realized the Clemson game was still going on. When Clemson failed to convert on their last possession people in that club wearing cajuns gear erupted in cheer. That is right they are in the club at UL cheering for the only school in America that went to the State Legislature and had them pass a law for the sole purpose of holding our school back from retaining the name that they had rightfully and lawfully obtained.

I’ll never understand stand how anyone that is a UL alum and supports their school, could ever pull for an institution that has intentionally done things to harm and hold back your school. Makes 0 sense.

As the tittle says that is f’ing disgusting.

Yes, it's pathetic, but it's very simple. Fans, and I know plenty of them, want to be associated with winners. UL does not give fans that association. People will point to last year or other winning seasons. People (fans) aren't totally stupid. If it's against easy G5 teams, nobody really respects that. Just because you win 9 or 10 games, don't make you a great team. You have to win big. You have to win games you aren't suppose to win. You have to win important games. We don't do that. UL will not get the kind of respect or fans following by just beating McNeese (if we even do) ULM, or Georgia Southern/State.

I think it was posted recently, brian mitchell was on cover of a gameday program magazine riding a swamp boat, which game was that

He was standing in cypress lake in boots, I believe.

That was the cover of the Season Media Guide that "Louisiana" sent to Spurrier trying to ink a deal.

That is how he got the idea.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised?

____ting the bed like we did Saturday night vs. freaking RICE is why we have fans that will still be glued to the TV watching LSU while attending a game at Cajun Field.
