2009 Sunbelt Recruiting Rankings

_ I like your message and your slogan. BUT, UL has got to "GIVE US A REASON" to support it. So far, it is business as usual. It is time to put out a message, a PLAN, on where UL is, where it is going, and how it plans to get there. Get people excited. INFORM people. EXCITE people. Then, we can have a reason to BE THE REASON. It is time for this transformation to take place. The only holdup is UL. _

Farmer is peddling the hamster wheel, but he may need some help from some fatter furrier hamsters :-)

When the RCAF is finalllllllllllllllllllllllllly announced, I think it will provide part of the needed spark...

If you have ever seen the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!...waiting on Farmer reminds me of the Japanese embassy typing out the declaration of war :-0

Wheel? We don't have a wheel yet. Farmer, Walker and Savoie have to make the wheel and give everyone a reason to get on it. A big part of being an "AD" is promoting the program. Call me crazy but what about buy a little air time in NOLA, Houston and Acadiana to roll out the RCAF? If we can't afford it then how about a newspaper ad? Radio ad?....internet page? Milk carton?

Wait here's the RCAF web page! http://rcaf.com/

Milk carton?

Got milk? I like the milk carton idea :-)

Let me help you out civilcajun. By Rivals own avg. rating, the Cajuns are last because they signed a small class. The smallest in theSun Belt. If the Cajuns signed another three athletes or the full 25 with the same avg. per prospect, where would they rank in the Sun Belt? Somewhere in the middle of the Sun Belt rankings, which would be about right. The difference between a 2.06 or a 2.24 is very marginal in a class.

T, you ever notice how you sound like a broken record? I know you've explained this at least a half a dozen times since Feb. 4.

_ You are dead butt wrong on this one. Jay only reaches people on the radio that are already "in the fan system and donating". If pouncing on fans is the key to getting things right... we would be in sport's hogs heaven. Our school isn't doing what it takes to reach the fans for ownership in our program. Jay cannot reach them. Gerald Hebert's tireless efforts cannot reach them. The fans that schools with large followings and financial donations are not schools with "better fans". They are schools with better administration of the programs... including the fans. It takes a specific private charter system.

It is absolutely totally ridiculous to blame fans for the sports operations at our school. Fans go where they want, do what they do, and spend money where they find value in it. Management of the fans is just as important, if not more important, than selecting a coach or building a facility.

If you honestly believe that our admin is doing a fine job with fans, funding, and privatization... you are lost. Why don't you call Gerald and ask if they will run a commercial admonishing the "Cajun fans" for lack of support... as Jay has basically done... and see where that gets us. Right... we need to pound on our fans more. A BIG BS to that one Zephyr. _

Look pal, you take many things said here and turn them completely around. I did not say the administration was doing a "fine" job but rather, I asked how you bangers can sit here and say that the current administration is failing us when the key components have been in place for such a short period of time. All they've done is do improvement projects to the exhisting structures we have. The school system is in the middle of athletic and academic budget cuts and some of you sit here and complain about the administration and their lack of fortitude for removing coaches for inadequate performance and insist that they put these ghost funds into better coaching staffs and better facilities. In a world where we are not strapped, sure I understand that but you are apart of the same freaking group that blames everybody else when something goes wrong. We lost that game, I blame the coaches. That player chose to transfer, I blame the coaches. This tends to be the trend. I remember your rediculous rants after we didn't get into the I-Bowl and you wanted Bustle gone. You spoke completely irrational and realized you were wrong. I'm not going to do that here but I'll call you on your BS!

_ Here is what I see.... _

After reading this I see 2 things, 1.)TROY and FIU had the best classes and 2.) w-KY had the worst. The rest are a virtual tie based on the avg star rating.
It really doesn't get me excited or depressed.
