What a difference 12-years makes.

Not disagreeing. Money is there. It’s just being spent on Walmart things

This is true.

Then how does TSATB pull in half the Louisiana alumni? Money ain’t the problem.

TSAB wins more than UL overall. Walmart fans wants to be on the wagon of winners. Cold hard facts.

LOL, ok, consider this; Cajuns make the playoff next year and have to play Ohio State on the road. How many Cajun fans make that trip?

What if it's at the Sugar Bowl??

What if it's at the Sugar Bowl??

Won't ever happen again with 12 team playoff. 1st round on the road for top g5. Now, with an upset in the 1st round it's possible for neutral site quarters.

In my opinion, for college football to survive in the G5, we need our own playoffs with restricted transfers and sensible nil. Let the big conferences suffocate themselves with greed.

For the first time in my life I’m actually starting to somewhat lean towards this idea. Crazy.

Check this out. One P5 conference.

""I think we should all be independent in football," Kelly said. "You can have a 64-team conference that's in the Power 5 and you can have a 64-team conference in the Group of 5, and we separate it and we play each other.""

I doubt it happens like this, but hypothetically if it does ....

...and hypothetically if Louisiana had gone independent when it "could have" and played the toughest schedule possible, they would be a shoo-in for the P5-64 just like they were properly positioned when D1 was first formed.

Geaux Cajuns

Winning was new back then now it’s expected.

Winning was new back then now it’s expected.

It's cyclical. Something is new in town that has never been seen before, and people will flock to it as long as there is "juice". Inevitably, it winds down for various reasons. See Icegators and Championship Cajun football.

This happens because people that do this are not part of the family. They have not incorporated the thing in question into their soul. The people that make up the RCAF have, and that is about it.

How do you make people believe that they are now in your family and will always remain loyal through it all? It's not about new buildings or new coaches. It's about relationships. It's about mutual respect. It's about meeting the needs of them. It's about communication.

There is the rub. People eventually tire of this family because the people that run this place, time and again, either fail at communicating or never wanted us around in the first place.
