HOW TO GET LOUISIANA ATHLETICS OVER THE HUMP?

[TheRaginCajun06]

ULL needs to face the fact that ULL football would be better off playing at the D1AA level. ULL and ULM should both be playing at the D1AA level and it would be very interesting to see ULL, ULM, and McNeeese all playing
football at the same level and in the same conference if possible.

How many years of blaming LSU, LSU fans, the State Legislature, among others will be enough? The truth is that ULL is struggling with both attendance and funding which at the current rate will ensure ULL will always be what it is right now at the D1A level, at the bottom.

If ULL played at the D1AA level, travel and overhead would be reduced and
attendance and ticket sales would rise which would increased revenues. Then there is the fact that ULL would have a good chance of getting into the D1AA playoffs on a regular basis and could become a power in D1AA along with McNeese. For example, ULM was successful at the D1AA level and even won a National Championship. I doubt their fans are truly enjoying being a rent-a-win team at the D1A level just for the sake of saying they are playing D1A level football.

Regarding the poll at the top of this thread, the percentagesare interesting.
Currently, the percentages total over 298 percent. Interesting.

Besides football... we do well in almost every other major sport. Why would we want to drop to 2A? We wouldn't get the revenues we are currently getting. That is why we stayed 1A. Instead of taking the cheap way out, how about we get better and win some damn games.

RaginCajun06, don't even bother with these front runners from the other side of the basin. Look how all the jackweeds like mineshaft, sonnysis, reality3003 all come out of the wood works at times like these, lol.

Most of the politicians are attorneys. Most of the attorneys in this state graduate from LSU. Most of the attorneys in this state are easily bought.

We have two options: 1) buy off the attorneys. 2) Add a law school curriculum at UL.

I'll go with option #2.

FIU added a law school a couple years ago and they are making real strides over there.

YES, we all know where you THINK our place is...and you've got no takers here. Why don't you go play on your own board?

YES, HE SAID IT WOULD BE A DUPLICATION OF STAFF AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD THIS!!!

That is because he is an idiot. Firing him and getting a new president who gives a damn about athletics should be on your list.

I think that one thing that would probally help the football team out alot would be to get a bigger program to come play a game at Cajun Field. A team that people can relate to like Mississippi State, Ole Miss, SOuthern Miss, Kentucky, or any so-so well known program

Those are all good choices. It would probably have to be a 2-for-1 deal. Most BCS schools would not give us a 1-for-1; and we certainly couldn't afford to "pay" a BCS school to simply come here for 1 game. But, I'd like to see any of those in Cajun Field. Each at least give us a chance to win (not saying we'd be favored over any right now).
