103.7 The Game to become ESPN Lafayette and ESPN Lake Charles

[RaginScotsman]

Simple. Baton Rouge is an LSU town. Lafayette is also an LSU town.

There is an element here, but that's far from true. That's the "we own everything" opinion that their garbage fans spout. The state is boarder to boarder tiger fans? No it's not. Not even close. You have hundreds of thousands of fans, students and alums of other universities that would agree. Plus, a large percentage of the population that just don't care either way.

Yes, we need to do better promoting our own brand. Especially in our own city. But, UL still outnumbers purple fans in Lafayette.

I’m listening to the station right now, and I see why you guys hate it. They call themselves “Home of the LSU Tigers and Houston Astros”, and neither of those teams are in Lafayette or Lake Charles. Not to mention they’re talking about MLB baseball and not local sports. Yeah, this isn’t gonna work too well.

Sorry brother, but many of us grew up in Lafayette as Astro fans. That might be a problem in Colorado, but it's not here in Lafayette.

I wonder how many of ya'll there would be if the Astros were still averaging 60 wins a season. Everyone was a Braves, Cubs or Yankees fan when I was growing up in Lafayette (80's/90's), funny how winning changes everything.

Solution for all of UL's problems, win and keep winning in everything!

About as many as there would for the Saints if they were still winning 3-4 games a season. I've been a diehard Astro's fan since 1972, held on through many losing seasons.

I have been with the Rangers and Astros thru the highs and lows, mostly lows.

I don't know about that, all my friends were Saints fans in the 80's we just all had another team we also followed, because all kids need to follow a winner haha, but we were all Saints fans we just didn't have much hope.

Glancers misconstrue the entirety of Acadiana numbers as Lafayette.

Some have developed this misconception entirely on bridge traffic.

This simply is not an accurate reprezentation.

I used to believe that. 7,888 was a hard reality pill to swallow.

That was sold tickets, way less actual total.
