We shall see next year with the OSU game. I might even have to try making that one. Thing is, I wear the evil grab to sporting events, but that should be ok...chants don't bother me. _

Actually, I think the OSU game is in 2010. But you can come over anyway. Just don't sit in the upper deck. The flight is great, just not the landing.

....yeah so you can make it 2-86 vs the BCS all time....and 0-3 on the year.

Wow, a walking UL media guide. The Texsters obsessing all over your forum about our popular name are hilarious but your own Mr "Snote" would say it's kinda "girlie".

Great to see you are still kicking up a storm.

I'm senior project manager for a disabled veteran owned construction company. Doing work all over the east (east of Mississippi for fed government, set-aside programs.

Oldest son going in Air Force on Tuesday. middle son in college and dating a beauty queen.

Youngest son is a senior and talking about Navy.

Been a rough year. Mom had been sick for last 5-years. So i was back to DeRidder about every three months. She died in April (88), buried her with my dad in Arlington in May. Both WW-2 vets from pacific. Dad died in service in 64.

Me, I'm trying to get back to Lafayette and work for UL. Just waiting for T-joe to make offer.

Later,

Trigger

Beau, I tell ya', all the injuries to so many bodies has me really concerned. Our defense has to spend a lot of time in FAU's backfield getting after Mr. Smith and I dunno...... Hoping for the best.

My bad bout the OSU game and thanks for the correction.

I've had a few rough landings in my day, so I'm thinking I can handle another.

_ Dude y'all have been D1A for a lot longer than Tech but haven't done anything with it. All I did was use all of the available information on the NCAA website.

We've been hamstringed by bad administrative decisions from Jim Oakes but finally he is out of the picture. We are setup for success in football and both W and MBB.

I was just pointing out the gross inaccuracy of the "worst cajun attendance is always better than Tech's best" statement. That is laughable. Of course the Cajuns have to have good years for good attendance.

Yes the Cajuns have potential and that is great. No I don't believe for a second that the Cajuns would regularly beat Tech RIGHT NOW.

Maybe we DO need to face off in a bowl game _

Obviously, technically, my comment about attendance was inaccurate. Tech, for where it is, who it is, how large it is, the funding within its grasp, has capitalized athleticially on available resourses substantially larger than UL. Tech people, like other state schools and their following simply believe that, athletically, UL is just in the mix with the rest of the state (excluding LSU), hitting more lows than highs. What isn't clear to everyone is that UL hasn't simply been handcuffed by the state, like everyone else. UL has handcuffed itself, athletically, for the past 35 years. Most, even within our own fan confines, accept what they see, and either have a good time with it, or don't participate (this is the group we have that no one else comes even close). It is our vast dormant alumni and fans who don't even know they are fans yet, that we have, and others could only hope for.

In reality, "potential" and 75 cents might get you a cup of coffee. I have a hard time convincing people internally, when they haggle with fans of other schools, that we are not even close to deploying our own resources. No one has ever taken the helm and led this gig properly. Tech cannot say that. I have been there and seen it. Tech may have had a disappointing administration here and there... but they have never remained in the lowest sector of their own athletic potential... and just made a party of it. We have... but improvement is coming.

I still believe that UL's worst attendance "ought" to be comparable to Tech's best. As for the "you will never beat us again" statement... take that to Dooley and let it operate on him. He's arrogant, and you guys are getting the uptick of what arrogance brings. I want to show you the downside. Get Dooley to revive the Tech rivalry if you can. I say you cannot and he will not. And by the way, "separation" and 75 cents might get you a second cup of coffee.
Good luck to you and yours.
Geaux Cajuns!

Chuck,

I'm sorry for your loss. Your parents were members of our greatest generation and I know you are proud of them and their service to this country. It's a fitting honor that they rest in such hallowed ground.

Sounds like your boys are doing great, I wish them well, and you too on your quest to get back to Lafayette.

Me, my youngest daughter is getting married in June and she has Dad jumping. Other than that, I'm living large and enjoying life.

Peace Brother

In all fairness I have to say that a few level headed LaTech fans have jumped into it and they're expressing what amounts to a "live and let live" atttitude. I've seen a couple of Weenies do that on their forum. Not a lot but there's always an enlightened few.

Didn't we hear that the Indy Bowl can only take a 7-5 SBC team? But they do have 3 SBC teams in....I like that.
