I don’t agree with dropping down... Viator working on the problem now... just going take time...
The problem I’m referring to is NLU/ULM refusing to recruit Monroe kids for years... past coaches from out of state totally ignored the local area... The three city schools (Carroll, Neville, Wossman), four parish schools (WM, WO, Sterlington, Richwood), the privates (St. Fred’s, River Oaks, OCS) plus the surrounding parishes produce plenty of talent... obviously the 5, 4 and most 3 stars not choosing ULM... but you gotta recruit the hell out of the rest... local interest in familiar players would have drove attendance up...
Like I said Viator working on it ...a Monroe or surrounding area native as head coach would be better... but I won’t complain about Viator

I have said this for years. Viator is finally doing this. Praise Baby Jesus. Former coaching staffs were on the hook so bad to win, they put all their eggs in Juco players and guys they thought could win at the moment. Getting local talent and building them up has been a foreign concept in Monroe until now.
I really think that ULM should move down but it is to far into the game for that to be realistic now. The money games that support the rest of the athletic department and the fact that many would have to admit failure for moving up will ever keep this from happening.

What annoys me about it is that we were "right there" with having a championship team when Lawson sold everyone on the 1A move. It was waaaaaaaaaaay too early for that and even now athletics are still trying to recover from it.
