McNeese Week 2016

[CrappDaddy]

Seeing what the attendance is will be interesting. The 33,828 for the 2007 game was the largest Cajun attendance of that season. But at that point I think there was probably a lot of optimism. The Cajuns had opened the season with a competitive loss at South Carolina then beaten Ohio at home. They got 22,186 for Ohio. After the McNeese loss the season went downhill and they never got more than 14,091.

This time they're coming off looking really overwhelmed against Boise State. Also I don't think there was any way to see the game other than being there in 2007. This one's televised and on ESPN3. If I had to bet I'd bet it still gets higher attendance than any home Sun Belt game at Cajun Field does. But we'll see.

Attendance was over 37k in 2007. We also lost to Ohio at home the week before.

After we wet the bed again this Saturday, that tinker toy stadium in LC would be plenty big enough to meet our needs the rest of the year.

I have to admit something.

I'm looking forward to what clever cheer McNeese High writes on the banner the team will run through pre-game.

If and if the Cajuns wet the bed this weekend, the South AL games attendance will be very Baldwin like.

LOL....here's the verbiage from that citation:


HN2 La. Const. art. 4, § 14: No educational or charitable institution, other than the State Institutions NOW EXISTING (in 1921), or expressly provided for in this Constitution, shall be established by the State, except upon a vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the Legislature.

LSU certainly predated the La. Constitution of 1921, so McNeese's founding, as a division of LSU in 1939, was completely in compliance with the section you cited.

After that, a number of name changes were approved for the school and it eventually got its current name in 1970. Yes, there was a vote to split it off from LSU, but the entity existed so it wasn't a vote to create something that wasn't there.

I gotta give you an F on that one....

I love how you agree with everything I have been saying and then proceed to give me an F.

I have always maintained that as an arm of LSU no "new" "institution" was established in 1939.

However in 1950 when McNeese broke off the back of LSU and became an independent institution, they should have needed a 2/3 vote.

It didn't happen.

Maybe they will be like a few peewee football teams and fail to break thru the paper. A parent nearby will have to break the paper so the team can come thru.

Even if McNeese wins, they have to go back to Lake Charles.

Another Stalker! You guys need to find another interest.

Heaven forbid the McNeese fans be interested in the next football game our team is playing. Now, if we weren't playing a game and the McNeese fans were on here doing the same, your post might have a little validity.

Make sure you guys don't forget game jerseys. Would hate for y'all to have to borrow ours again. We know FormerPokeCenter takes special care of the jockstraps, so thats one less item the trainers will have to double check for.
