Real talk

Saw this this morning.

It breaks my heart that these kids are one game away from a bowl invitation and we can't be there for them

With regards to the G5 revelance remarks, expanding the College Football Playoff to eight teams with the top rated G5 securing a guaranteed spot (plus winning) will help overcome fan apathy. At least for some of the more ambitious G5 programs it will energize fan bases, including ours. Maybe just wishful thinking, hoping for better days ahead.

To be honest with you, and I think this is a sentiment that many others have, I just don't find UL football entertaining and would prefer to sit in my La-Z-Boy chair and watch better quality games on TV. I do find UL basketball and UL softball entertaining so I make it a point to attend those particular sporting events.

Gotta agree with ya. What's the fun in watching a local kid rip off 150 plus yards in a game and score 3 touchdowns? Oh, and that other local kid ripping off over 100 yards as well in the same game. I mean, heck, there must be as many as 2 or 3 other schools who have done that this year.
Pretty boring stuff.

Why are you even here?

That was my favorite part too. Oh, and when the announcer used 'plethora' when one guy can't be singled out....as in 'he was stopped by a plethora of Ragin' Cajuns.'

He said “plethoral of Panthers” actually. I laughed.

Props to Cajunfanatico...you’re owning this unfortunate thread...

Bottom line is the university has made a bet/investment on Maggard, Yantko, etc. You either agree with it or you don't, but deciding if it has worked or is working, 10 games into the football season, when this is a 4-5 year bet is pointless.

There is no doubt that the parking fee has impacted attendance this season. Do I think it will continue to impact attendance in future seasons, I do not. This is a mindset that has been jarred this season, but it will become the new normal and be accepted.

It is my opinion that in 4-5 years we are going to know for sure, if we are a viable D1 football area or an FCS area.

In 4 ir 5 years a lot of FBS G5 programs will be finding out the same thing.....we have a legit shot of ending up where we want to be. A lot of different things have been instituted in the last 2 years that will bear fruit in the coming 5 years.....hell we've even accelerated the time frame for upgrading the stadium.....does anyone here really think that Maggard, his Staff and our consultants Rick Jones with Fishbait Marketing And Mike Alden don't know what's going on in the world of College football? Does anyone think that they aren't putting us in position for the coming mother of all realignments?

Maybe cultists should keep their mouths shut.

YOU should listen and take your own advice
