Passing judgment

I'm looking over my shoulder at that damn injury bug though...

This bye week came at a perfect time.

No Boomer you complain constantly about the Advocate and not the other media outlets. I've already noted that T-Joe is on the Advocate Advisory board so take it up with him. Instead of derailing so many threads would you at least start a new thread every time you want to _____ about this.

---Ah, a quick check would see that it wasn't I that derailed this (apologies accepted)-----I guess the reason why the Advocate complaints are so often is that it is LOCAL---our radio, TV, and other newspaper refer to us athletically as Louisiana or UL and we know who's policy differs!!! i see the pres and talk to him about 3 times a year at sporting events, and will try to ask him these questions!!! I don't know why the papers, tv, and radio wouldn't ask him???

Relax for one second fellas. Cut lines are written by photographers who don't always know better and sometimes mistakes make their way through. I'm going in to fix it now.

Not everything you see is blatant mockery. People sometimes make mistakes.

Oops Luke. Sorry for stirring up this ____ storm. Very early in the morning and I had just read another Boomer beotch session about the name issue. I need to remind myself not to post so early in the AM.

Carry on and great writing you do there.

This bye week came at a perfect time.

Agreed for the teams sake. I'm wishing I had a game I cared about Saturday to watch though!

I guess CHS vs Patterson tonight will have to do...

---Big donor (I am in lot C)---facility tour (damn right and proud to have been a former UL player that was invited as a group)

-flights to away games (yes a vacation for my wife and me that we pay for)

The SF agents support is advertising that the athletic department receives revenue for the money---I don't know what the deal was with the Monroe game but I was told by the president that he wants us to use Louisiana and that it is lawful for athletics!!! Take a stance---I have one and that is to support the local paper for reasons mentioned!!! Does Luke submit every story as Louisiana for our name??? If he doesn't that might be a start!!!

So boycott the athletic department until Tjoe uses what we want to be called at every instance. Luke could put Louisiana all he wants and it will be edited.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Fixed.

And if anyone still feels like they want to get up in arms over the cutline, before I fixed it, it started out with: Lafayette quarterback Brooks Haack.

Again. Mistakes happen. I apologize for the oversight on the paper's part, but seriously y'all, not everything that happens is a slap in the face with intent to harm. That being said, if y'all have an issue with anything in the story, I'd be glad to hear the feedback there.

Everyone have a great weekend, and y'all feel free to send me a message on twitter with the locations of y'all's tailgates. I want to actually meet some of y'all this year.

Luke I think you do a superb job. Now to mistakes? That particular mistake would not happen if your paper did what we requested. Lafayette would never be involved. Additionally what we request is totally within the legal constraints placed on us.

You may or may not be Roman Catholic, but part of the confession is to avoid sin and "near occasions" of sin. Drop the Lafayette and that would get rid of the "near occasions". This mistake as you call it is always a moments inattention away.

Luke is here to write about Cajun Sports not to push our name agenda. That's our officials job and they dropped the ball.

Absolutely spot on. If someone doesn't pay for the paper, so be it. Luke is writing fine articles on our programs... and they reach an audience way beyond what people on here comprehend... and generate massive positives for our school. The Advocate is not going to be an advocate for our name issue. And it is highly hypocritical to bash them when our own university leadership has failed to take a clear concise stance on the athletic branding name... and they certainly have done little to manage it properly with the media.

Even in the city so many love to hate... Baton Rouge people are bending to the appreciation and respect for our institution. Much of that is the exposure via The Advocate by Luke's articles. I have to believe this is taking place in the entire state. It is a massive positive for us. The name issue for all of those outsiders is irrelevant. Once we are recognized as the most powerful university in this state, second only to LSU... the people that are not necessarily our fans... will neutralize on issues we then press for. We need their neutralization. We will not get their advocacy on our name. But if we don't completely ostricize them, they may just reconsider our requests at some point.

It's time some UL supporters behave intelligently. You do not shoot a horse carrying your baby just because the horse got shoed in a different parish. Get your head out of your ___ and appreciate Luke for what Luke does for us.

I agree. We have blazing speed in Haynes, Fuse, and Eli. Need to get the ball to those guys in space, quickly. Then hit them on the deep high balls to Robinson and Barnes. Mixed in with Eli and Pierce in the zone read and designed runs....I'm not sure how anybody on the rest of schedule stops us. If our line continues to progress and as our defense gets used to having the wraps taken off...I can see us getting real good real quick. I'm as excited as I've been for a Cajun season to play out. I'm looking over my shoulder at that damn injury bug though...

There's no way to predict the injury bug's time and place of attack. Outside of proper stretching, rest and hydration and some elements of discipline... we have to consider that we are no more apt to be injured and limited as the opponents we face. I'm glad we have a week off. It came at a good time.

Brian Kinchen repeatedly said Haack will need to become more comfortable throwing into smaller windows than he did verses NSU. He felt Haack chose the safer run to daylight instead of potential pass completion.

All I have to say is run Haack run. Do not fear the daylight. I've seen too many big armed quarterbacks pass up a sur first down for the bigger pass play. The often get to head to the sideline.

[CrazyCajun]

Wait I thought hack couldn't run
