Guess who the last team to get a 10th assistant will be

[FormerPokeCenter]

Yeah. We have some debt, but it's not in the same stratosphere as what the Cajuns are dealing with.

As of about a year ago, the debt service on the GO bonds and bank loan that the Cajuns had on their books was to the tune of $55 million over the next 26 years. There is talk in Lafayette about a renovation to Cajun Field, but it's doubtful the Board of Regents allows any debt to be floated for it until the current debt is either paid off or dramatically reduced.

Renovate Cajun Field by turning it into a solid waste landfill.

That way it'll serve a useful purpose for the Lafayette tax payers....

Still the best comment on this thread.

impressive that hogdawg praising hogdawg post as best when the legendary Houston is giving information rather usual garbage

[Dogsince65]

Dogsince65... I appreciate the dog out of you!! Stay positive brother... Tech grows with people like you and falls without people like you. True Blue! Don't let them sour you on this program.

thanks-- 11,838 posts without anything to say! one with 48,000 posts just does not impress me -- my roots with Tech goes back to 1965 and my logo says it all-- I am Sunshine pumper and we have enough know it all negative posters -- somehow having an athletic scholarship with your name on it is overused when you assume all 11,838 have been read ... it says so on logo. 4 brother grad Tech Son grad Tech Granddaughter sophomore Tech -I taught English -Tech on grad assistantship and been a die hard since 1965 -- missed about 5 games over those years and never missed a bowl game. My only regret about BBB is how many Bulldogs quit reading BBB because of the negativity -- trying to be CNN

[touchdown123]

Huds record was 51-38. I know what I saw.

I usually resist the temptation but I just can't

Did you see those last two ass kickings? And the ten before that?

The Advertiser is what our president calls "fake news."

Skip's base salary is $200,000 greater than what your The Advertiser is reporting: $700,000.

And ULL's assistant coach salary pool is $1.73 million. Not $2 million.

Here are the facts:

No.	Coach	ULL Salary
1	Roberts	$325,000
2	Sale	$325,000
3	Juluke	$200,000
4	Leger	$145,000
5	Powledge	$145,000
6	Segrest	$145,000
7	Toney	$145,000
8	Looney	$100,000
9	Desormeaux	$100,000
10	Etheridge	$100,000
TOTAL		$1,730,000

First of all not a one of those guys have ever coached at the school you mentioned to my knowledge. Not sure where it is. S0 anyway since I recognize the coaches names, I'll assume it was a type o. You've got 1.7 million right there on the field. One thing Napier has done, in an effort to copy is mentor Nick, is hire more off of the field football staff. Not S&C, SID, managers and trainers as previous mentioned. He has a director of player personnel, he has an on campus recruiting position, a director of football operations, to go along offensive and defensive quality control positions, much like Bama and other P5s. He has more eyes and ears on this program than it ever has had before. I read one article, out of an Alabama publication, that states "Napier is bringing the Saban process to Cajun country", just with a few less bucks to do so.

I never once said that all 2 mill was accounted for with on field coaches. I just said he had 2 mil to assemble a football staff, which includes several off of the field positions as well. That is not just a Nick thing, all schools who can afford to does, that. But I guess according to one Jack Leg on here they all have to over pay to get a good staff.

You should change your user name to CNN because you are full of false information AKA fake news. You comparing the campus construction debt to athletic cost. All athletic facility upgrades have come from private donors.

[Kent]

I usually resist the temptation but I just can't

Did you see those last two ass kickings? And the ten before that?

Yes I did see those. Very embarrassing to lose to the smaller schools within your system. That is what happens when there was no one to fire Doc Ray who hung around for 30 plus years. I am glad we got a new admin and athletic director that won't tolerate that kind of mediocrity any more. Keep looking back, those were the good ole days. I sincerely hoped you enjoyed them.

I draw your attention to the Louisiana Legislature's Act 45 of 1995. Perhaps that'll enlighten you as to the identity and location of UL@L. You didn't graduate from college in Lafayette, did you??

Louisiana Legislative Act 45 (Senate Bill 843)
Senators: Cecil J. Picard and Armand J. Brinkhaus
Representatives: McDonald, McFerren, Montgomery, and Thompson

Policy Number: M-(2)
University of Louisiana System
Title: NAME CHANGE POLICIES
AND GUIDELINES
Effective Date: September, 1998
Cancellation: None
Chapter: Miscellaneous

Policy and Procedures Memorandum Preface

Act 45 (Appendix A) of the 1995 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature (Senate Bill
843 by Picard and Brinkhaus, and Representatives McDonald, McFerren, Montgomery and
Thompson) officially named the system of institutions under the supervision and management of the
Board of Trustees for State Colleges and Universities the “University of Louisiana System.” The Act
also authorized the Board of Trustees and Board of Regents to approve the change of name of any
university within the System to the “University of Louisiana at (its geographic location)” provided no
less than two institutions make a request for and are approved to change the institutional names.
In order to facilitate the provisions of Act 45, institutions should adhere to the following
guidelines:

I. Institutional Status

Each institution within the University of Louisiana System has a distinct character
based upon its role, scope, mission and the educational needs of the population it serves. The
Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) and Carnegie classification systems shall be
used to illustrate distinctions and differentiations among member institutions and shall not be
used to imply explicitly or implicitly a hierarchy of member institutional rankings.

NAME CHANGE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES


There shall be no institution designated as the main (primary) campus for the
University of Louisiana System. Any designation of or reference to a member institution as
“flagship,” “lead,” “main,” or by other similar descriptors is prohibited.

II. Institution Name Change Procedure
Any university within the University of Louisiana System wishing to change its name
shall utilize the following procedure:

A. The university president shall appoint a study committee composed of representatives
from the student body, staff, faculty, alumni and community (non-alumni) to assess
the favorability of the name change for the institution. For Grambling State
University, a procedure is prescribed in Louisiana Act 45 of 1995, Section 1.(e).

B. Following a favorable recommendation by the study committee, the president of the
university must submit a formal letter of application to the System office for Board of
Trustees approval. The application must be received at least 30 days prior to Board
meeting date. The application must be accompanied by the following:
1. evidence of support for the name change,
2. a plan for publicizing and marketing the name change,
3. copy of the proposed logo and/or seal (to be approved by the Board), and
4. a description of plans for publication and commercial use of the logo/seal
and name.

C. Following approval by the Board of Trustees, the request shall be submitted to the
Board of Regents.

III. University and System Name Guidelines

All institutions within the University of Louisiana System are to comply with the
following precepts and guidelines set forth to govern and coordinate the use of the University
of Louisiana name and logo:

A. As previously stated, there is no main campus for the University of Louisiana
System. Any designation of or reference to a member institution as “flagship,”
“lead,” “main,” or other similar descriptor is prohibited.

NAME CHANGE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

B. The use of the University of Louisiana System logo and/or the phrase “University of
Louisiana System” by an institution for commercial purposes or general use must
have prior approval by the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana
System.

C. The use of the two-letter University of Louisiana abbreviation, “UL,” and/or the phrase “U of L” are prohibited by the university or any of its affiliated organizations
(alumni associations, development foundations, bookstores, etc.). For academic,
public relations, athletic, as well as other purposes not specified, the use of the
University of Louisiana abbreviation must always include the abbreviation for the
municipal location of the institution. For example, ULR is appropriate for University
of Louisiana at Rayne.

D. All uses of the name “University of Louisiana” must be followed by the word “at”
and the institution’s geographic location. No typographic variations within the name
are permitted. The word “at” must be no less than 50% and the geographic location
must not exceed 100% nor be less than 80% of the University of Louisiana name.
Any institutional use of “University of Louisiana” without the “at” and geographic
location is prohibited.
E. All institutions, whether or not their names are changed to the University of
Louisiana designation, must use the wording “A Member of the University of
Louisiana System” prominently on all stationery as well as on title pages of
university/college catalogs, magazines, newspapers, and journals.

F. Any adaptation of the University of Louisiana System logo and seal to university use
must be reviewed and approved prior to their use by the System office and the Board.

The University of Louisiana @ Delusions of Grandeur has a nice ring to it....

I'm sure if I looked I could find some of your comments boasting about Hud when he was there. It's better to compare your football program to ULM at this point because we own yall.

[Kent]

Kent:

FormerPokeCenter posted this yesterday about the Hudspeth era in Lafayette: I'll quote him: Mark Hudspeth rode his .449 Ragin Cajun winning percentage all the way from being Associate Head coach at Mississippi State to irrelevance, obscurity and disgrace. He had a few stops at academic fraud, improper payments and NCAA rules violations along the way.

Also, signing day in December came and went without a single signee.

Again, I admire your enthusiasm. But FPC's statement is a good indicator of how the Cajun program is viewed outside the Acadiana area and even within the Acadiana era by other fanbases, the LSU fanbase in particular. It's not what Ricky Bustle inherited, but it's still pretty low. Rock bottom is a fairly accurate statement. The Cajun program really needs to get on the field and win some games for that to change.

"Signing day came and went in December.....". What does that have to do with anything? Our coach was hired in mid December and had no staff in place. He choose not to sign any with out his staff's input. When he was hired 70% of the pool of candidates were gone and they did quite well considering. 2019 will be his first real class. Stay tuned, currently only 2 G5 schools rank ahead of the school in Lafayette, according to 247 sports.

You ever went 75 in a 70 and got stopped? Yep. I thought not. Thats about how much weight that law holds in athletic branding. It is completely an academic thing. You do know that law was passed to change the University of Louisiana's name to USL. First time ever the legislature stepped in to reverse a legal name change. The judge in the appeals case was an LSU alum and would not recuse himself from the trial. Louisiana shady politics at its best.

I thought you didn't like to look at the past?

The 1984 Court Decision is old news.

What did the Louisiana Legislature say?

And, thank you for admitting that the UL@L is - institutionally - a scoflaw.

Coincidentally, do you guys still have a brick honoring Al Queda terrorist Wadih El Hage in your walk of honor?

[zharkins]

I’m sorry Kent, this may be hard to read... and I’m sure you’ll want to call a legislative auditor’s report fake news. You just keep on believing that some unknown rich donors pulled $50+ million out of their butts in the past few years while living on a $28.3 million athletic budget, of which $12.8 million comes straight from the university.

https://www.lla.la.gov/PublicReports.nsf/3C0EEB8AA7EB6B7A862581F5005FCF1E/$FILE/00016CEB.pdf

I didn’t take the time to add precisely, but it’s around $52 million in bonds and loans for athletic facilities in the last few years from what I can tell. It appears that private donations covered amounts spent in excess of the bond issuance. Really only three major projects with bonds or loans for athletics... indoor facility, Cajundome, and baseball field.
