We were in Lafayette this weekend for a 50th anniversary party. We made Scandals and The Blue Moon Saloon( my wife's cousin owns it) there were people with Rajun Cajun tee shirts everywhere. I wish the support for Lamar was as strong.....

The band and dance team had budgeted this game to travel to but it was not approved. Budget cuts have hurt a lot this year. The band's travel is not funded by the Athletic Department. :-\

I think the budget situation is getting pretty bad. This isn't the only place they're cutting.

dang...how much can it cost to stick the band on a bus for a 2 hour trip?

 

 

anywho....I had MY spot on the bus going to LA-la...but, had to give it up..killing me..but i couldnt make it...

Maybe some alumni will step up and make it happen.

aw...cut the Philosophy prof---send the band!

If you send the band then you have to send the dance team and cheerleaders as well. Looking at probably 4 buses minimum and vans to hold all there equipment. Also at least one meal maybe 2. That adds up. Lamar is all about cutting on everything right now and even in athletics, where they are understaffed and underpaid.

To be clear, the state is cutting across the board at all universities. That method of budget balancing hurts certain institutions more than others.

We have a few staying in Lake Charles at the Lauberge for the weekend and driving over to the game. Can't wait for the season to start.
