No one asked for your opinion about this. Good Bye.

Deal with it, Astro!! And the last I heard, this was a public board where opinions are like @$$holes. . . . .everybody has one!!

You can decide to be part of the solution or part of the problem!! Maybe you can stick your head in the sand like your administration and pretend it never happened.

And if you do not relish opinions, go start your own private board again, Astro! I really don't care. Hey, I'll leave you with an opinion by Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders. . . . winning, wow! What a concept!

You've got some "smart" guys on your football team, maybe they can figure it out!!

"Just win, baby. . . . !"

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.........I'm sure the coaches saw that he may be availalbe then saw his grades. Just because there wasn't a press release that we were looking at him, doesn't mean we didn't look at him. The kid isn't going to come to UL, he can't make the grades. end of story.

Well there will be room for him to play for the Louisiana Bayou Bulls,Hurricanes or the MudBugs Semi-Pro teams in Lafayette you do not need to go to school to play for them alot of our local kids are playing with those teams not to say it is bad but thats where they are.

if we go back as recently as the spring regular legislative session, we will remember the proposed legislation by rickey hardy. that legislation would have raised the "bar" for high school student-athletes to at least a 2.0 gpa in order to be eligible to participate in athletics. do we remember what the reponse was? i do. just about every head football coach and school principal in this state started screaming like stuck pigs. rep. don trahan, education committee chair, came out against it. on the local level, no less a personality than steve peloquin (he said with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek) railed that it was not fair that regular students could graduate with a 1.5 gpa, but athletes had to maintain a 2.0. that's the attitude we are butting heads with. it's institutional. that's why it's so hard to change it. one of these days, when the parents are made to understand what their children are missing out on because they didn't have to try harder in high school, we may be able to change things, like minds. in the meantime, talent like journet has will just go to waste.

This is OUR board. I don't have to deal with anything.

You are not on our schedule this year. (and I really wish you were so that we could put this all to bed).

I think the point that Boomer was making was that transfer rule (along with your lower academic standards) give you an unnatural advantage. And this is EXACTLY the discussion that I didn't want to have.

Tell me something. Do you get an email every time your precious 'lil school gets mentioned here or you just nosy?

Why would we want McNeese on our schedule this year? So BUSTle could lose to them again by 21?

I have just as much "right" to be here as anybody else. As a matter of fact, I donate to the UL Foundation and hold season tickets to UL Baseball. I live in the Lafayette community, attended UL, and am a firm believer in the goals and leadership of Tony Robichaux who is a McNeese alumnus.

"Nosy" - NO! A passing interest and support of UL baseball yes!

You are right, though! This is "your" board and "your" kool-aid. . .so drink up. I'll go back and support my precious lil school while I sit back and learn what not to do by watching your football program implode on itself. UL will eventually rid itself of Bustle and you guys will swallow your pride and probably throw money at our very own Matt Viator and he will teach everyone over here how to win!!

BTW, you have a nice quote on the bottom of your posts. If you could really follow that saying by Coach Wooden. . .you could be well on your way to solving a lot of your problems.
