Did ESPN screw the name up? You bet. However, nothing is going to change until it is changed in the Sun Belt Office and the NCAA office!!!

I'll remind you after we beat South Carolina in the Super-regional in 2000, one of the headlines in the Daily Advertiser the next day said OOH-LA-LA, CAJUNS!

I don't remember anyone getting po'd about it.

I have it. I was going to over lay it over the video from espn but my laptop is giving me problems rite now. PM me an email and I'll send it to y'all

We can't move the game to the Dome next year due to the rule requiring 11 home games every 2 years. We had only five this year so we have to have six next year. At this point we only have 5 home games scheduled including Tulane. With the Florida game being moved to November we are likely looking for an FCS school to provide the competition for the season opener.

I'm going to make a prediction now...when Tulane comes in...we will push the attendance record from the Southern game. And we will win.

That game is in October. Tulane will have already lost a couple of games and they will not travel more than a few hundred to Lafayette. Not saying that the record will not be broken but it will be broken by ULL fans .. Tulane will not contribute much at all - IMHO

I will say there are quite a few Tulane people in the Lafayette area. I do not think we hit 41K, but we could and should sell out.

So much truth in this statement

[CajunRed]

We cannot go back to only playing Tulane at their place. The whole point is to have the best chance of winning the game...and that will always be easier at home. Second most important thing is the gate. We want/need that home gate.

Chevron and Texaco merged in 2002 and has continued to maintain offices in both the Lafayette and New Orleans area since then. Texaco and the state had settled their lawsuits prior to then. It is unknown what they would have done in Louisiana had the merger not occurred.

It won't matter if toolame is 7-0 going into that game. There STILL won't be more than a few hundred of 'em.

I think that we made enough new fans this season, and particularly this off season, to think that we'll be pushing the attendance numbers even higher come next football season. We just need to keep the intensity up as a fan base and continue to build the hype.
