Alexandria Towntalk

I don't get print newspapers, but The Advocate did have a Lady Cajuns story on the front page of the online version. Headline: ULL (yuck!) Faces Difficult Challenge.

That's what I meant in my message above. If do not see or hear UL I just pass them by, knowing they can't do better than "friendly sources".

well hell, b.r. is an lsu town and the ladies' wcws trip is all over the sports' page. no excuse for it not to be a big story, since it is, and it's also a GREAT story with the youth, winning two regionals on the road....

There was a bit of good coverage on the Channel 9 news out of BR at 6 PM today. Good publicity in the capital for our girls. Playing A&M on Friday should give us coverage in Houston again and perhaps Dallas.

Ragin' Cajuns stun Gators in World Series opener

I thought softball was not a sport that could give you national publicity and people would make fun of us for getting excited for the girls.

Not only does Alexandria suck, most people that live there are illiterate and don't know how to read anyway. There is no college in Alexandria, LA ST-A is in Lecompte and LA College is in Pineville (the literacy rate isn't any higher in those two towns either!). My sister lives there and cant wait till her kids graduate HS so she an get the hell out of there. Thankfully when my oldest neice graduates she will be attending UL majoring in architecture. The only smart thing she learned in Rapides is to get out for college and not go to BR!!!

_ Well come to find out the guy is a McNeese alum and a huge LSU fan.

Isn't it amazing how often we see this exact scenario. And not just with McNeese. Many, Many, Many alums from schools like LA Tech, ULM, Southern, Southeastern, Nicholls, and Norhtwestern all seem to be rabid LSU fans. Don't these people have any pride at all in their own universities?

The last time I went to Buffalo Wild Wings in Lake Charles there was a ton of LSU stuff and very little McNeese.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- For the third time this season, unseeded Louisiana-Lafayette and No. 5 seed Texas A&M will play each other, this time at 6 p.m. in the winners bracket of the Women's College World Series. The teams split two games earlier this season in the Aggie Classic in College Station, Texas. After losing 1-0 on March 7, the Ragin' Cajuns fought back for a 2-1 win the next day.

Scroll down, there are three articles this morning. FINALLY.

I sent them a nice letter thanking them for writing about us.
I also let them know that I am sure I am not the only alumni in the area and look forward to seeing more articles about UL.
