I played several years back. We had a very talented club team and from what I hear still do. With no true men's team around and with all the talent in the state of Louisiana, we would have a really good soccer team.

Sign me up for season tickets.

I'll sign up for that.

[ManAboutTown]

Men's soccer, Women's golf.

I've been pushing for this since I got to school.

[Cajun90]

On paper.

Unless the courses are overflowing with applicants, the cost to the school is not much more than regulating body heat and books.

Unfortunately paper counts.....

and you completely ignored the other cost. Coaches, buses, hotels, uniforms, etc. are hard cost that is more than a paper shuffle. I'm not against this but which teams are going to give up their extremely small piece of the pie to fund this??

[CajunRebel]

Yes we do. Absolutely.

In the US football is on the decline. Soccer is on the rise. I don't know when this day will come, but in the next couple of decades soccer will replace football or baseball as a "Big 3" sport. It is inevitable. Among teenagers on social media soccer is more popular than baseball or football. There are also more youth soccer teams and an explosion in boys high school soccer teams.

We have a gigantic opportunity since most programs in the south don't have Men's Soccer. We have a chance to do what softball did -- beat everyone out the gate and establish a soccer program that can dominate the region.

I like football as much as the next guy, but with football we're bringing a knife to a gun fight. The other teams in the south have way too much ammo for us to ever compete with them. With men's soccer, we have a chance to get in ahead of everyone else.

I played for the club team and i dont think it is a good idea. We are behind about 20 years. Unless you hire someone that makes more than Hud forget it.

[CajunDreDog]

Personally, not that most of you care, I HATE soccer!!!
