2010 schedule

_ The difference is that UL and the larger schools that come here such as Kansas State are both D1A. Mcneese is D1AA. D1A teams do not travel to D1AA venues. _

I have a news flash for you most larger 1A schools look at the Cajuns with a similar attitude that the Cajuns look at McNeese. Why should we go play at the smaller venue? Since UL //L decided to got 1A how many larger schools have played at Cajun Field? Not many and by many I mean 10 or more teams. Granted its true 1A teams don't got to 1AA venues but I think the Cajun/Cowboy past rivialy makes it a little more unique. What would be the big deal in throwing them a bone once and a while?

To go out of one's way to use "UL//L" proves one to be a hater, imo.

Newer news flash... attitudes don't matter. If FCS schools want to play FBS schools, they travel... period. We don't have to work out return favors. The idea is not to evaluate where our program has been (in this massive slump due to bad management). It is about getting our act together and doing what we have available to do. That does not include scheduling "FCS away games". I have no problem scheduling a heavily attended game opportunity with McNeese or Southern, but you do not offer return games. They get their benefit out of coming to Cajun Field and taking a shot at us with an easy travel plan for their fans.

(Zephyr) you cannot watch CST and gauge attendance for Southern home games. They position cameras similar to Cajun Field. The student/visitor side is not where you accurately assess attendance. I go to all Cajun Field home games, and for those recast by Cox, I could not believe how bad it "looked" as opposed to the reality of how full the press box side was. Cajun Field needs to figure out how to encourage CST to place a primary camera on the student side, looking back at the press box side, and politely request that "fan shots" include them.

Southern will be "well attended". Part of the draw will be from the surrounding Acadiana area who probably don't normally attend Southern or UL games. Southern fans themselves look for interesting travel opps, and I think Lafayette and Cajun Field very much interest them right now. They see us as beatable and they are excited about it.

As for the risk of the occasional home game against D1AA teams... if we cannot summon up the courage to take on any and every D1AA school, and expect to win... it is time to shut down the program. The "risk" issue should not be in the equation. It is strictly someone who will accomodate you schedule-wise and a nice crowd opportunity.

I believe in using the proper designation for the school. You don't have to like it I have the right to express myself however I chose. Since this site seems to not allow freedom of expression I have to stoop to this in order to use the proper designation. If you want to use UL I have no problem with that. Having graduated when the school was still USL I have been known to use that designation when talking about where I went to school. I am not embarrased about where I graduated from.

Attitudes do matter sir. Why do you think so few larger 1A schools have come to Cajun Field. Has LSU, Florida, Auburn, to name just a few of the larger schools we have played? No they have not. They have no interest in coming to Lafayette to play a game. So in my opinion they have a similar attitude toward coming here as we do to going to a 1AA school. I completely agree with you about having the courage to take on any 1AA school. We should be about to beat them 90% of the time. What was it 10 or so years ago we played North Alabama a Division II school and they beat us. Granted they were the Div II National Champions but gee wheez we should have beaten them. If we are going to play 1AA teams I say make it the Cowboys. At least its a great draw and they are one of the quality 1AA teams in the nation. If only The Cajuns has been as successful on the football field as McNeese has been. We would have been to several bowl games over the years.

Putting cajun in your user name does not instantly give you credibility. We can still smell the BBU stench permeating this thread.

That has nothing to do with attitudes! It has to do with MONEY!

If that's the case you must have any credibility either since Cajun is in your name also. Maybe I should just use the orginal name from back in my day Bulldogs!!!!
