Slow start insurmountable for Cajuns women

[talktomewillis]

I'm curious.

How many of you actually go to women's basketball games?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Does it matter? It’s a drag on the athletic department. So every dollar wasted on it has to be made up elsewhere. It would be nice if they could mitigate some of their losses by winning more.

[talktomewillis]

Yes. It matters.

You're going to have a women's basketball program. Dollars are going to be spent.

There are some who would say it's a drag on the athletic department even if the team was winning. This fan base is great at diminishing any accomplishment in the past once they smell blood in the water.

While a WBI championship isn't an NCAA berth, it was light years ahead of anything post JKH. At the time, many on this board were excited. Now many are acting like it was a piece of ____.

The reality is, we're going to spend the money. And, even if we win, there won't be much support. So the drag on the athletic department remains the same.

There's a lot of fake caring going on here.

Any version of post season advertising is worth the investment.

Then why not drop the sport and create a low cost alternative to dump scholarships into like women's bowling /golf. Everyone always talks about growing the budget well here is an opportunity to cut fat.

Well if we are going to spend money regardless of circumstance, would it be too much to ask to not lose to Dillard two years in a row? LOL

When games were DH, always went early. Went to stand alone Dillard last year. Said I wouldn't be back until product got better.

Friend talked me into going to a game this year and went. Going back Saturday PM game this weekend with three other people.

There is a glimmer of hope. Won't critique other than if we could learn to put the ball in the hoop, miss the most elementary of shots.

Kind of like soccer...anyone been lately?

Silly, goofy, facetious.

Silly, goofy, facetious.

Not so sure he was being facetious. You have to have so many women's sports which take up a certain number of scholarships. You could sub something else for WBB as long as you meet requirements. However that would likely not sit well with other league members. The split schedule is costing us due to need to open Dome for 200 people. If that stays in place, wonder if going back to EKL is a possibility. We would need to put some dollars into the place to improve it but that may be cheaper in long run due to need to open up Dome. Dome would like it as they can't have any events on Saturday other than basketball for first two months of year.

I’m all about going back to EKL at this point. 200 people in there is a lot louder than 200 people in the Cajundome.
