I don't think Cajun fans ought to discount any outlet or store selling any amount of Cajun items. It is up to us as fans to create the market for Cajun merchandise and if we do, I'm sure all stores will add to their inventory.
The only reason they do not carry more is that the University for so long has not offered more. They do have more p/g but they do have a wall full of red and white and always have. The owners there are big supporters of UL and neither one of them is an alum of the school. So please before you bash a local business that has always supported the Cajuns do a little more research.
Just like the BCS, it's all about the money!
