_ The university has met with Tabasco several times regarding sponsorship. The initial outcome was the Hot & Spicy Golf Tournament which they help sponsor. We are not the only university asking for sponsorship. I was able to view the proposal that LSU sent to Tabasco several years ago...it was pretty impressive. Tulane has also consistently approached them for sponsorships. Remember, most of the Mcllhenny/Simmons clan have homes in the garden district in New Olreans and are tied closer to the New Orleans metro area than Lafayette. _

Those greedy SOB's. What do they need more sponsors for? They're self sufficient remember? (talkin lsu not tulane)

I figured that. A Mcllhenny was king Rex for Mardi Gras this year.

LSU fans were crying the other day on WWL that their baseball team has fallen on hard times because of lack of money.

So little money they have to settle for a state of the art 8,000 seat ball park. I guess those little extra dollar discount at the Bertman Park Manor may have dried up after the viscous press wanted to know how come baseball athletes got the only known discounts.

I guess Skip in his infinte wisdom appointing an inept Smoke as his coach had nothing to do with it? LOL!!!

I thnk they were brought over here to help contain the overgrowth of a plant, or possible other creatures, and then began to become a nuisance as well. As Alanis Morrisette would say, "Isn't it ironic, don't you think...a little too ironic, yes i really do think." I suppose we have the Tabasconians to thank for it.

I knew the story regarding nutria being introduced to control vegetation and then being a bigger nuisance themselves... just didn't know that Tobasco had anything to do with it.

I have an idea regarding the advertisement/sponsorship angle with our Cayenne/Ragin Cajun identity. We should not work the locals and their ties to spicy sauces. We should solicit to those in far reaching places that have no identity in our area, or within our alumni influence.

The marketing tactic is to bring in the outsider. He is appreciative of the advertising opportunity ($) and it wakes up your local businessmen. You don't keep soliciting to people in your backyard, who already believe they have an identity within your demographic. There are plenty of "spice" people out there. What transpires is a realization from the locals that you either join in, or you lose out.

Not that I have to make an analogy... but, it is a little like trying to get that special girl to be interested in you, that just doesn't think you are anything but a "local" average guy. Bring home a pretty girl from somewhere else, and somehow your stock goes up. You may even find you don't want the local girl. You might just stick to the girl that you brought to the dance. But, either way, it opens up lots of possibilities, if you know what I mean.

I truly believe that some of our untapped sources are "outside" people that would get a real kick out of coupling up with our Ragin Cajun identity. If the local business people that have snubbed us, get a load of our new suiters, they just might want to come to the table and negotiate.

Tabasco had nothing to do with the nutria. UL grad, Shane Bernard, is the company historian, and he has disproven the legend.
