If Cajun fans didn't get their panties in such a bunch every time someone made a comment, those comments would go away.

Every fan base has a sensitive spot, it's how you react to being touched in your sensitive spot to how people touch you there. And every time we want to make the Cajun fans cry we touch them in that spot, and get the exact reaction we are looking for.

How bad does it have to get that even a LaTech fan tells you what’s up and you still going to deny it, y’all are not expected to treat us with respect, but we have to treat y’all with respect?! That’s unacceptable, and wondering why Cajun fans don’t come here.

When leaders at your university show no respect for a new Conference member you will revive zero sympathy from that fanbase.

Good luck with the new hire, congrats on getting rid of that douche Hud.

Hud was the only one complaining....I understand why he did but I also understood why Appalachian St. Fans took offense. Our President, Dr. Savoie, voted yes for your and Georgia Southern membership. On a personal level I would have preferred we didn't have to do that but by the same token I pushed for membership of Appalachian St and Georgia Southern in the league when speaking to our President and the AD at that time. Once it was evident that the Conference could not acquire and new FBS members then guys were the obvious choices. As for the name issues.....we are winning that branding issue. Once our Conference approved of our athletic branding as "Louisiana Ragin Cajuns" the national media has followed suit. Some of the posters here choose to ignore that and to me ....that's your choice. I personally don't like it...I find it disrespectful. ... but it is what it is.....and our fans also have the right to feel the way they do..

I consider the Cajuns to be a top SBC football program. They will be back soon just like my Eagles. My contingent of Eagle fans have referred to UL as "Louisiana" since GS joined the SBC (which is when we really started to take notice of Louisiana). Why? 1. That is the institution's preferred name for athletics. 2. It helps to distinguish them from ULM who has settled on "ULM" as their preferred name for athletics. 3. As dumb as it sounds, with fewer hyphenated schools, the conference perception will be more respected by the masses.

Little Rock immediately appears to be better than UALR.
