Some of you may recall wave poster Show Me blasting me for posting the 'cartoon' video below and basically saying that this was nothing more than a dream......our athletic department didn't have the money for construction and was having problems raising funds, etc. Well, looks like another promise by the Cajun Athletic Department is being completed and it looks like it's going to be a first class facility.
For those who'd like to see the 'cartoon', here's the video.
Man. ULL's leadership is very impressive. ULL is more of a threat than anyone here cares to believe.
JJ, I think our leadership has been impressive from the standpoint of laying out plans and then completing them. I'm also pleased that they seem to keep our fans in the loop, something one should expect but obviously something that does not happen in every program. As for the 'threat' comment, I guess I don't view our program in that light. There's plenty of talent out there. I'm just glad to finally see the Cajun program realizing some of the potential that I've long felt we possessed as a university and city.

Fair enough, and I expected nothing less of you. I've got contacts who are on-site most weekdays.....that's one reason I didn't mind the risk of posting the cartoon. BTW,there will probably be no pile driving....we're well above sea level.

Didn't you tell me that was going to happen the last time?

I think it's great to have a visual reminder of the opportunity we are squandering/the opportunity to become the second best program in the state (which was our "birth right" until Cowen screwed that up). It's a highly lucrative opportunity ULL is going after, which is only available due to the incompetence of Tulane leadership.
There is great value in live, visual evidence of the continued damage being done by the silence of the Tulane alumni as Cowen and Dickson continue to collect paychecks and the university continues to circle the drain.
I have great respect for the ambition and execution of ULL's leadership.

I have great respect for ULL's leadership as well.
Thanks guys for the positive words. We're a few decades late, but at least we've gotten started righting the ship and I believe we're already seeing dividends being paid.
The structure in the background is the Leon Moncla indoor practice facility.

Yeah. If only Tulane were located in Lafayette then we'd have some real advantages to capitalize on...

There's still a lot of open property right there around the athletic complex that's owned by the university as well as the university farm which sits right in the middle of the city along Johnston Street. I can hardly imagine what that property's worth these days.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette owns a total of about 1,300 acres. Its main campus consists of 145 acres; the athletics complex and Cajundome sit on 243 acres; University Research Park has 148 acres; and the Center for Ecology and Environmental Technology has 51 acres. It also owns the 100-acre New Iberia Research Center in New Iberia, La.

It would be great if you spent this money on educating your students and try to get them from a lowly tier 2 academic institution to tier 1 like our flagship public school LSU and also La. Tech.

After being defeated by the Southland's Mc Neese State their ULL in state rival, the Cajuns again lost to Alabama today.
