From the JuCo board, pretty hilarious stuff!
ULM- Where is our mascot?
Our mascot should have been at the Tech game to fire up our fans. What did we get instead? Mr. Staub arranged for a Chick-Fil-A cow (with neutral affiliations at best) escorted by a lady wearing a La Tech ball cap to be at the stadium! I am not kidding, the La Tech girl followed the cow around the ULM fans, saying, "hi" and flaunting the Tech ball cap in our face. Staub was there and should have noticed this detail and told her that it was tacky of her wearing that hat when she is representing a Monroe business who is supposedly supporting ULM. Although Tech was still having classes this week and ULM students were out, our mascot should have been at this game and there should have been alot more effort to get students (most ULM students live in Ouachita parish) to this important clash. Being a mascot has got to be more than just being paid or having a scholarship, you have to really love ULM (e.g., bleed maroon and gold) and love being the mascot beyond such mudane matters. The mascot ought to be brave enough and proud enough of ULM to show up in Ruston to support us and in Monroe for this critical I-20 series especially. Frankly, the one we have is NOT matching up to these stadards.
Honestly, it was embarrassing to see so many Tech students at our stadium painted up, with Tech flags, with the stupid gorilla dude as well. We need in baseball what we accomplished in mens basketball. ULM students need to be equally on fire for ULM baseball. We need to get Bobby Staub to find a way to get the greek houses and the dormies to have this kind of enthusiasm for our team as the Tech students appear to show for what appears to be an inferior sports program currently! Is Mr. Staub clueless about such important details as these?
