Rusty's a friend of mine, but I don't know why he says things like, "Are we ever going to be Auburn, or LSU? Absolutely not."
Once again:
In the 1970's, Miami came very close to dropping football (UL is 1-1 against the 'Canes).
In the 1960's, Virginia Tech was a small military school.
Until 1946, FSU was a women's school, and even after that, was a perennial doormat until they hired Bobby Bowden.
Who every heard of USF until about a decade ago?
Louisville and Cincy were patsies in pretty much everything except basketball until the 1990's.
I cannot think of another area (of any value) where Lafayette, or UL, strive to be #2. I know that Rusty's ambitions for his bank are to be the biggest and best possible.
If other schools can do it, we can too. It only takes courage and vision.
