2005-06 Volunteer Days

[CRAWFISH61]

I will be there this evening. Beyond buying season tickets for football and hopefully for baseketball this season, I really can't afford much more monetary support. I am eager to help with my sweat equity.

I had forgotten how good the food was at Pete's. It's always exciting listening to Gerald as he heads up contineous improvement for athletics. I'm starting to get "pumped" for the work day. I will be bringing a 4-wheeler to help move stuff around. My daughter learned to drive the "gator" at the last work day. Should have a good turnout based on the showing at the organizational meeting. It was a full room at Pete's. I'll be going back again for another "Big Pete's" burger!! Looks like all 7 of us will be at work day this year.

RED BUG THIS INFO IS FOR YOU, JUST NOT EXCLUSIVE TO YOU!! THE WHITE WALL AT THE BOTTOM OF CAJUN FIELD HAS BEEN APPROVED TO BE PAINTED RED!!!!!!!

PAINTING THE WALL RED WOULD BE A VERY BAD IDEA!!!!!

If you paint the wall red it will fade and next year you will have a pink wall surrounding Cajun Field. Painting it every year or every other year will take a lot of time and money. That is time and money that could be better spent doing other cleanup projects around the field.

Personally I think the tan-white color they chose looks excellent. I think it would be cool to paint "Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns" in red with black trim on the white walls.

I also think it would be cool to repaint “Ragin Cajuns” on the student side to match our new lettering along with the numbers of the retired jerseys.

how bout painting it black...water running from the levees/bleachers turn the wall that color anyway. painting it black would make the wall always look clean.

I think red would be better but it will fade.

I agree, too much red is overpowering. I believe mixing grays with red stripping. I personally don't like to much red , would you paint your house red. Don't misunderstand me, I bleed Cajun Vermilion Red as a supporter, just don't paint everything red, trim it with red.

:confused: daddycajun gave you update about painting the wall red which was discussed at the meeting, i don't understand, please someone help me out here, i mean we ask people to come to a meeting and share ideas and opinions and you don't show up but when a decission is made you were no where around to be heard and now all of a sudden, well, i don't like this it should be this way/that way.....what gives? then come the complaints, WOW i'm sorry i just don't get it, then again i guest i never do, so just "KILL ME NOW." thank you daddycajun see you at volunteer weekend it will be fun. TO ME THE GLASS IS ALWAYS HALF FULL

[DaddyCajun]

Coach Bustle is the one pushing the RED, maybe because how good the RED with the White letters trimmed in black just below the Sky Boxes looks!!!

I was also for the White or Tanish wall with black/red letters. I understand and agree that the Red will fade.

I suggest giving Coach Bustle and/or Gerald a call and state your concerns. Also hopefully one way or another you will all be able to make it out to Volunteer Days as the Food/Fun/Friends will be second to none!!!!!!!!

I Wish my schedule would have allowed me to make it last night. You would have heard me say I am totally against painting ANYTHING red

For me it is "VERMILION or BUST"

I think a vermilion wall will look good.

It is only 5 feet tall with grey cement above and grass below, and hopefully white banners everywhere.

Now if we painted it white, a contrasting Vermilion banner would be real hard to come by.

This is the best indicator of what a VERMILION wall might look like.
The inside of the tunnel was painted almost a decade ago.
The slab over the pumps was painted 2 years ago.
