UL wouldn't play LSU in between or right before an Alabama game. It would be one of the 1st 2 games of the year. If you are payed over a million dollars to come get beat in Death Valley, that is the exact definition of a rent-a-win.



A rent a win is a game where you can literally sleep walk 3 quarters and win double digits. They couldn't do that against ULL.

The sour grapes/elitist attitude from LSU fans regarding anything UL Lafayette has gotten quite annoying.



I wouldn't disagree with that sentiment. Although, the "blame LSU for all of our faults" is quite annoying from the ULL side, as well.

depends on which LSU shows up. If they play to their potential, it could be a shutdown game. But they've been known to sleep walk against non-conference opponents.

You follow recruiting well enough to know that can happen. Being a non BCS team in Basketball, baseball and softball don't mean much.

UL has an amazing development program going on in football, but not one player at that school was recruited by LSU. LSU could definitely sleep walk for 3 quarters and win. That's not a shot at UL, but that's just the way football works. They recruit at MUCH different levels. Obviously you have the "rare" occasions. But we aren't talking freak victories such as App St over Michigan, etc.

LSU slept walk through 3 quarters against Troy in 08, and Troy was a sun belt powerhouse during that time .

would damn sure generate more fan interest than some of the ooc games in recent seasons.



Without a doubt. I'd also have to buy UL season tickets again like I did last season.

I think we have generally solid baseball program. We won't be a perennial threat for the post season but usually a decent team. Given that LSU doesn't have an in state rival, the two schools could play more often and IMO grow a pretty decent baseball rivalry. Its not football passion, but both fan bases do love their baseball.

And they may very well be able to win, but I doubt they would blow ULL out if they played like dog crap for 3 and a half.

But I agree ULL does not = LSU in football.

I think that the attitude of some ULL fans makes it look like it represents the entire fan base. Certain ULL fans came on here beating their chest and thinking that they are the king of Louisiana and way better than LSU based on one early season game that was called due to weather before the game could be completed.

I wish LSU would play a 3 game set with either ULL or Tulane each year. With the way the schedule works and strength of the SEC a tough OCC isn't necessary if you produce in the SEC.

1-ULL and LSU are rivals 2-LSU fans really do care about ULL's success and failures 3-LSU fans are just as responsible for the shite talking as LSU fans.

We've really got to lay off the SWAC schools, outside of Southern. RPI killers.

C'mon man. Most ULL fans realize who and what ULL is. If people were inclined to search for D bag LSU fans it wouldn't be hard to find. It's BS to claim ULL fans all "beat their chest". It's become a talking point here lately. Sure a few ULL fans talked shite like idiots. But I've had LSU fans tell me to kill myself and go die. Should I hate all LSU fans because a few told me dumb stuff?

Don't act like LSU fans don't flip their shite when LSU wins or loses in baseball.

Talking about firing Javi is an LSU fans birthright.

I will say it's the few that cause problems for the many. ULL posters like hendersonshands is one of the few.

Just off the top of my head, you could have 3 game sets with ULL, Tulane, Houston, Rice, Baylor, TCU, and SMU. Midweek with Southern, LA Tech, SLU, McNeese, Northwestern State, and Southern Miss. All local and RPI boosting.
