Their trying to build themselves up academically at LSU's expense is more of a concern to me than athletics. This state is too small to have two major public universities. The growth of one will come at the expense of the other.


Read what I said about Louisiana eclipsing the 6,000,000 population mark. I know even then it's a stretch, but a more comfortable one.

This is comical. It's like saying Ohio is a threat to Ohio State or Arkansas St. is a threat to Arkansas. ULL has a little to non-existant fan base and no one cares about them outside of Lafayette, and LSU has more fans in "ULL country" than ULL does.

Also, georaphically they will never be able to get out from under LSU's shadow. Tech has a much better chance IMO.

Lastly, Tech, ULM and Tulane are all trying to do the exact same thing as ULL. At the end of the day, 90 percent of the state consists of LSU fans and that wont change anytime soon.
