I don't think there is the hate for the Cajuns program that you talk about. Hate is a strong word that we wish solely on Memphis and the Razorbacks.

In fact, I'd argue that most of our fans have a strong respect for your program. We don't like losing to you guys, but that's true for anyone. The two major things we disagree on would appear from a distance to be: 1. Is the Sun Belt right for the two programs (Polls on our board show our fans want no part of CUSA. and 2. Which program is the best in the league.

I think there is a small frustration when ESPN makes grandiose claims about Cajun Football, and we go unnoticed despite enjoying an equal amount of success. But that's at ESPN more than it is you guys.

As for the branding thing, you are barking up the wrong tree. Our administration chooses to call you ULL or Louisiana Lafayette. We don't use the branding you choose. If our administration constantly does it that way, our fans are likely not going to jump on the UL bandwagon. That's just how it works. Blaming the fans for it is a tad ridiculous. We've been playing you guys for 40 years. Its not something we're going to change immediately.

Go stAte!

That 2010 game at Cajun Field was the most miserable game I have ever attended..felt like the game was being played on Mercury.

2012 was the first time I visited Jonesboro, really enjoyed the game despite the score and being hungover from a long night on Beale St...

Looking forward to Tuesday nights showdown!

Yep and both great decisions.

Still amazes me how your program has been a consitent winner despite 5 coaches in 5 years.

We've been playing you guys for 40 years. Its not something we're going to change immediately.

Look, I peruse just about every teams fan forum in the Sun Belt. You guy on the Den consistently mock our branding preference. It only started once Louisiana started gaining more recognition from the national media than stAte has. This is in large part to the fact that HUD is a PR machine. Y'all success has also been part of stAte's problem. You guys are viewed now as a proving ground for great young coaches. Not a place that a coach wants to stay at, that the national perception. I think Anderson stays for at least 4 years IMO, but Freeze, Malzan, and Harsin all left after one season for much better jobs. Meanwhile Hudspeth has chosen to stay at Louisiana after a $1.3M offer from Tulane, interview with Ole Miss, Kentucky and Vandy. Now he may not have been the front runner at any of those SEC programs, but he still was thought of as a good enough candidate to warrant an interview.

What stAte has accomplished is nothing short of amazing over the last 4 years. It will be 4 straight bowl games and possibly 4 straight Sun Belt titles. That is pretty damn good no matter who it is.

Louisiana on the other hand has 1 title and 3 straight bowl wins in front of 3 straight record crowds in the New Orleans Bowl. We are firing on all cylinders as a whole program. Of course our fans will be brash, whose fans wouldn't be after the year we had. We will be just as formidable in every sport again this season. Although GaSt will be the class of the Belt in basketball.

We are no longer an also ran program, that most of y'all remember. We are in the infancy of the revival of what can be one of the Top 5 non-AQ athletic departments in the country.

Both programs have done great things in the past few years and are the class of the conference....no use getting into a pissing match. It's like splitting hairs now.

Georgia Southern however..you can s*ck it...

Yeah right, you must not have followed the Sun Belt closely before GaSo got the invite. This conference has done no favors for the Louisiana program. Our AD Scott Farmer who is a GaSo alum wanted to play you guys and that is just how the schedule panned out.

GaSo may very well win against Louisiana or stAte, but seriously doubt that they would win both in the same year. you guys were a good add for the Sun Belt, even though I had never heard of y'all since I did not follow any FCS programs prior to the expansion crap started.

Also the only program that was every catered to by this conference is no longer in the Sun Belt, WKU.

Please quit acting like every person on a message board who calls you guys ULL is intentionally offending your program. Its just not something you're going to convince those of us who have been playing you guys for a full decade plus in the SBC to change.

Sounds like a contradiction to me.

I really don't have to write a lot of paragraphs or provide stats.

The point is to win championships. We have three sets of rings. End of story.

If you do well this year and next, you can equal that.

You would think so, but justwait when it is Georgia Southern's turn at bat and the almighty Karl Benson doesn't do anything to help promote the Eagles in regards to seeding, Bowl selection, marketing, Sun Belt network representation, etc.

I think you will be left feeling underwhelmed with how he handles supporting a member school that had a successful season ...just wait and see!

Between this and the television contract revenue, it is the biggest reason I want out of the Sun Belt!

The point is to win championships. We have three sets of rings. End of story.

If you do well this year and next, you can equal that.

We have won 3 of the last 5 and 6 of the last 10. You guys act like y'all have dominated the series and the win over the Cajuns have resulted in direct Sun belt Championships.

I could argue that is the Cajuns don't choke away games against UNT, WKU, ULM and South Al you guys wouldn't have 3 titles.

This is about head to head match ups. Also you are on acid if you think any program in the Sun belt will ever match what the Cajuns accomplished last year. That is why we are The Class of the Belt not because of football.

But is the point in college football to win conference championships or bowl championships?

Now to stay on course of the thread - Can NOT wait for this upcoming game with Arky State!!!

This has always been my favorite SBC game, and is always an electric atmosphere when we play!!!

I will be at Cajun Field early, enjoying many a Canebreak!

This is the most big time game the SunBelt has to offer!

Well, duh.

We all know it's not because of your football program.
