Really?
Is that an athletic facility? Or academic? Because if its academic I would advise you to 'meticulously' review how much construction has been done on the UL campus in recent years before you make your comparisons.
Here is the latest project going on the main campus (which will pretty much bring us up to our goal of 5K living on campus):

ETA: not to mention the fact that athletic projects are funded completly different from the acadmic side.

could not agree with you more....by th time he lost the 2nd time to them in 2015 I was very much saying that he needed to go.
And yes, those lsu donks saying that last year's basketball team was the best in our history must just love to make themselves look stupid.

Like the other poster said, I don't give a frick worrying about how each school pays for everything. The scoreboard is what I look at. You can keep wasting your time trying to convince people to believe you and I will keep laughing at your petty posts!

Ha.
Translation: you posted about the construciton of an academic bulding when we were discussing athletic facilites....and in either case UL would have them beat by a mile in new constrcution....so now you want to change the subject entirely again. Whatever.

And I'll admit. Tech spanked our a$$es in 2014 and 2015. But that 2014 team was so dysfunctional and lacked leadership. It was the beginning of the end for Hud.
That was indeed the beginning of the end for HUD.

Well, looking back at it yes. But at the time he kind of saved his butt somewhat by the end of the season.....albeit with a very bitter taste in our ouths. But then he only dug himself muuuuuch deeper into it by the end of 2017.
I still give him credit for motivating the school out of the doldrums, though....it was a lot fun when it was fun. And it gave everyone a glimpse of what can happen when we succeed.
You can just sense the big difference that Napier will bring to the table....no big sales talking, just gonna get it done.

Hud definitely gave us excitement of what our potential could be as a program. It's just a shame that it didn't last as long as we would've liked.

True, but talking shite about LA Tech’s football program when, money or no money, they whipped our asses in the two games we’ve played in the past five years looks silly.
It’s not even like the games were close. Their lower paid coach made our million dollar coach his b-tch.

Hey did you see that we are currently at #51 in recruiting? Top of the G5. It will really be something if this translates down to winning games. Talk about renewed excitment.

All true, but I never really talked shite about their team. My point is if it doesn't make your fan base and program grow, then what good is it.

That’s actually the 247 Sports ranking.
Scout has them at #46 and #1 of the G5 schools.

Some posters on here have no idea how lower floater bonds / commercial bank debt work or the relationship between the university, athletic department, university foundation and athletic foundation and their posts read like a fool is typing them.
And if I could inject my Hillary - What does it matter at this point?
If Texas or aTm had to operate on LSU, ULL and LaTech’s combined revenues, the damn doors would be shut in a month....all in perspective.
The last piece - I wish ULL was playing Texas in 2019 instead of LaTech. That LaTech games makes me uneasy if we don’t get our football house in order real quick. I have no fear whatsoever of UL-L.

Yeah, my bad. Got my links crossed. Napier and Co. off to a good start, indeed.

I think the biggest thing after that is his recruiting went to dogshit, especially in Louisiana. The perceived difference between CUSA and AAC was sold to recruits. In reality the on field difference between the Sunbelt and CUSA is very minimal overall but with those 2 games, he couldn’t say shite.
The biggest difference so far is out of the 14 3 stars commitments that Napier has are almost all from Louisiana. Hudspeth never could gain traction in state

I agree with this. I personally have talked zero shite about them.

The difference between us and Tech in football is the fact that Tech has financially promoted their football program for decades. And there’s no doubt that we have seen great success up in Ruston with it and rightfully so.
Meanwhile, we sat on our a$$es for years and let our football program fall into the pit of misery up until a few years ago. Now, you’re seeing the results of good leadership and investments that we have finally put into our football program through our AD and football coach.
If Maggard and Napier can stay around for a little while, this football program has a ton of potential to be a perennial top 50 program.

To be honest, we had an entire regime in Martin Hall who pretty much wished athletics would disappear, or go D-III so they never had to sign off on another athletic scholarship ever again.

Exactly what I said earlier in the thread. LA tech is definitely a team people shouldn’t take lightly. Yeah most P5 teams should win by anywhere from 14-30 points but they’re no pushover. Nobody ever thinks that about UL-L. Every SEC team except maybe Vandy could line up their 3’s vs ULL’s 1’s and still walk away with a 17-24 point win.

This, really. I think most people would say that Authement did not support athletics, and they would be very wrong.
If it had been totally up to him we would have had zero sports at UL and he did what he could to see that happen. He didn't just not support it, he did what he could to kill it.
That's a lot for T-Joe and company to have to overcome.
