Should we move to FCS & Southland Conf?

_ Unfortunately, I think Turbine is correct. Call 50 random alumni and ask them the name if the men's basketball coach. If you think that's too easy, ask them who Mark Hudspeth is. The results would be surprising.

Oh wait, that's a trick question. If you used info from the AA to make your calls, you'd probably get 35 wrong numbers.

Why would Alcoholics Anonymous have incorrect phone numbers. They usually know who we are.

_ Just a thought. It would restore some natural rivalries with McNeese & Northwestern LA. We could still play LA Tech and UL-M along with others. We could likely be more competitive for a conference title and playoffs would be interesting. Some sports other than football might have a better chance of making NCAA 1-A playoffs (basketball, baseball). Any thoughts? _

This is a thought that should never enter your head again. UL has the talent to be sucessful in D-1. I think Coach Hudspeth will bring a new attitude and top recruits to the program. Being downgraded to AA would hurt recruiting and the fans. From here on I will refer to UL as THE University of Louisiana!

That would be an excellent question to post on the ULM board. They are a natural fit for returning to the Southland, i.e. lowest budget, lowest attendance, non-winning, no support, no funding, etc. I sure wish their new President would make that determination.
