Ole Miss Lands Freeze

[CajunT]

Ok. You insiders can't do this to the rest of us now. There is something you guys know that I certainloy don't know about Fedora. I haven't gone back & studied his history or anything. What is the "percieved" drawback on him? Is he not marketable to MSU only due to something in his or their past, or is this a Fedora thing? Thanks in advance.

Not a Miss. State or Southern guy according to them, mostly foolish pride on some supporters part. There are several other guys with ties to the program as well. Fedora is considered a strong candidate for the UNC and Kansas job right now.

Kansas should be so lucky. BTW, I just heard the craziest thing whtching the Texans Atl. game. They said the guy playing for the Texans is the FIRST No. Car. graduate to start an NFL game.

Uh.....Julius Peppers is a UNC grad.

[raginsaints]

THey probably meant at qb

[Bandwagon King]

Uh.....Julius Peppers is a UNC grad.

He plays QB? Let me clarify. There has never, NEVER been in almost 100 years of NFL football, a NC graduate start at QB. I feel better now.

Maybe your fans should have put forth more effort in attending games like the one against UL. Your attendance was pathetic for a ten+ win team & conference champion. I understand that you may not be able to get more folks behind the team, but you can't hope to compete with a school as louzy as Ole Miss long term with no support.

We dont have the dual fans like you guys do. UL has the ability to bring in LSU fans and fans of other programs to watch games. The Arkansas media pretends we dont exist and Razorback fans see us as a low level FCS program. We have a strong group of diehards, but even some of those dissappear once hunting season starts.

We have an entire generation of alumini from the mid 90's to around 2004 that watched a program that essentially averaged between 2 and 3 wins a year. Many of those got frustrated and became Razorback fans and we havent seen them back since.

Its going to take a lot more then a 10 win season to bring our fans back, its going to take a change in culture, something many of our fans dont think we have the AD for.

They aren't diehards if they disappear during hunting season.

Chief, from what little I saw, yall have nothing but dual fans. Every other car in the parking lot had Razorback plates, stickers, & such. I saw several vehicles at the LSU game with both ASU & Arkansas logos too. This includes the the person who drew up your logo & your SID as well as your coach. I don't know when & where you think the interview with Freeze took place, but it occured the day after Thanksgiving.

I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of lsua&mc@br fans also still consider UL to be a regional, division 2 school. If you ask some of them right now, they'll tell you they didn't know the CAJUNS were going to the New Orleans Bowl, nor would they care.

Very honest appraisal of your program. UL doesn't get "LSU only" fans. We do have a significant group of dual fans, but the bigger advantage UL has is the population of the area we're in, the employment availability to our alumni, coupled with their desire to live in south Louisiana. We had really nice attendance numbers with only the hope of a better year. That was without any notable or exciting opponents in those home games. We are in a better (in almost every respect) situation than any other team in the SBC as far as fans go.

Regardless, congratulations on one heck of a year. I hope if Freeze does leave, your fans don't melt down and you go find another good coach. That's our plan if we lose Hudspeth. No meltdowns will be allowed. We decided we'd castrate any man in the UL family that cries about the coaching situation. No one yet has offered up their jewels.

We like our AD. Our culture changed with a change in our university leadership and it "resulted" in the hiring of Hudspeth. I'm very confident about our football future.

First QB to start an NFL game.

I know the interview took place close to Thanksgiving...It was the unofficial interview...meaning no one has to claim it happened.

We're not all dual fans... But we have a signficant percentage of some of our better fans who have fallen into thsi trap that you are supposed to support all Arkansas schools. I dont consider any of them diehards...

Both our AD and assistant SID are Arkansas grads, the Assistant SID has faced nothing but criticism for showing up at that game from everyone except our AD. Eventually we're going to have to make a move to fully seperate us from Arkansas shadow...im just not sure when that move will come.
