re: Anyone tired of this trend?

That is how in state rivalries develop. Its never bad for other state universities to excel. A rising tide lifts all ships.

Agreed, but when is ULL going to get its hands out of my wallet and pay for your little school's athletics without my tax money being used?

We are entitled to your tax money, you owe it to us to improve our school

Not for athletics. Use your own damn money for that.

stop being so greedy, how are we supposed to complete our master plan project for athletic facility improvements worth $115 million without every ones help. Ya'll just trying to hold us down.

FWIW, LSU is one of only 7 athletic departments that are entirely self sufficient and receive no state subsidies.

Well, there you go.

Who cares? You usl-sessed bro?

In half a game. Why is this not being stressed? It was half a game, which is less than a whole game, but enough for directional Louisiana to hang its hat on for the rest of the millennium

That there is what you call an baseball guru..yes sirrrrr..

When are 'half' games played?

I just came back to this thread for the first time in a long time. I live in Scott, just outside of Lafayette, so I have taken to calling the local university UL like most of the locals do. I hold a bachelor, masters, and specialist degrees from LSU. I drive 61 miles to attend LSU baseball and softball games and the only time I miss a home game is when both teams are playing at the same time. I have been attending baseball for 31 years, and have been at about 90% of the softball games since the team was started in 1997.

I have a right to be concerned, and yes UPSET when the teams I support do not play at the level I expect. I put my money where my mouth is in buying tickets and in supporting the TAF.

UL (yes I called them UL again) is playing really well in baseball and softball. The basketball team did not play well in the NCAA tournament so that is over and if their best player goes pro then the worry about their basketball team goes away. They will NEVER play within 35 points of our football team.

Why am I worried? Because if LSU is to maintain flagship status in athletics then we need to dominate in every sport in the State of Louisiana. So stop making fun of the school located 10 minutes from my house and start figuring out why they are slowly sneaking up on us in two sports.
