Poor shooting continues; idk it just seems they shoot undisciplined.

Folks I am leaving the Forum, not because I am unhappy with any of my fellow Alumni, our moderator, or any fan. I have had nothing but trouble with my subscription for the past year. I have always been a monthly subscriber but last year I was charged a yearly subscription. All complaints fell on deaf ears. I don't kno if any of you are aware but Rivals has a piss poor customer service/complaint portal. So after 3 months I just gave up on trying to correct the issue. Fast forward to my renewal this past weekend, even though clearly saying monthly I was charged yearly and my account debited. When I reached out to customer service I was sent a link for justask.com only to be charged $45 to my debit card with no results! So thanks for the good and bad times but I am out.

Ref94

And now we know why he didn’t come this past weekend

Does anyone know how much, if any, we pay out in NIL money?

They must have gotten new P-40's? These don't look like the guys all pissed on themselves.

I know a lot of football talk; just a break for WBB.

They just don’t seem to be clicking again. Been behind the whole game so for. It’s Half and they are down by 10.

Gotta admit, was not a fan of him being hired anywhere because he was buying players and lied to his bosses about things. However, he sure is kicking some butt at McNeese. Pretty safe to say he will land a P5 job this offseason. McNeese better enjoy it while it lasts.

Any visitors this weekend before signing day?

Not a lot of productivity returns but based on the rankings, this might be addition by subtraction

Saturday morning meeting of the alumni association- here’s some points of interest.

ULM and University of Louisiana Monroe are now registered trademarks.

Branding efforts are underway to really emphasize the P-40 and Chennault connection to the Monroe area. Part of this is having an educational class to teach incoming freshmen on it as well as incoming/new faculty and staff.



The Hawkhead ULM is not going away but will see more of the P-40 in branding. The picture shows a mock up NOT ACTUAL truck wrap, but gives an idea of what the branding will look like.




Foundation brought in or increases endowment by $9 million with $2 million going back to the university.

Alumni association has a little under 1,000 members - so join now because the cost is going up for next year, or just join lifetime.

Wine Over Water coming up in April - a lot of talk about moving it to a Friday/Saturday in the future to allow for more remote participation.

Some talk about product licensing and getting more gear out there. Peter Millar coming to the Toggery in Monroe. Big push of products into Academy and Sam’s.

Really need to pick up this W to keep pace with Troy AND as sweep of ULaLa is always a good thing. I don't know that we will be able to catch Marshall no matter what happens but finishing 2nd (anywhere in the Top 5 really) would be amazing and should get Missy COY consideration. Don't know that she will get it because there is some pretty stiff competition out there.

Ethan Howard TE officially committed today.

Coach Brady Vincent said we have another commit. No idea who it is.

Dusty..go by the football office and snoop around.

During my absence, I seem to have gotten lost in translation as to whether the coliseum makeover is a real thing. I saw where someone posted renderings of what Fant is expected to look like.

Have we secured federal/state funds for this project? If we have when is a timeline for this and are these funds for structural and aesthetic building enhancements only?

Saturday when I went to the Women's gameI saw what looked like preliminary work being done at the main entrance

I understand Hartwell, during Dusty's interview, mentioned we are in the process of securing naming rights for a new scoreboard so I take it the bill for anything sports specific will be on ULM securing private donations.

Can someone please clarify?

Thanks.

The 2024 football roster is on the ULM website. You have to search for it. When you open the roster look to the right where the year is located, select year 2023 then select go, once that year pops up go back to year 2024 select go, the new roster will load. I hope that makes sense.

As you will see the new signees from December are not on the roster, but we can see who left and who stayed.

We offered Jamirica Roberson 6'2" Forward from Bishop State this week. She is averaging 14.2 ppg, 10.8 rpg and 1.3 blocks per game. She has offers from South Al. and Troy.

With the successful season so far in Womens Basketball, how about showing some thanks by supporting the team. I’m going to donate $10. Per win for the season. Going to give $100. Now and another $100. When they hit 20 wins and more at the end of the season.
you can do this on the Athletic Foundation site go the donate and click on Womens Basketball site. You can put any amount you want.

Just a easy way to say Thanks.

White out promotion. All tickets $5.00. HUGE GAME for 2nd Place up for grabs!

Try to come out if you can!

Let’s see what happens

from Brady Vincent. One can only assume that means they landed another big recruit so I wonder who it is. Anybody got any ideas?

Not surprised that BV is rated #25, but he does get an up vote for what he did at UAB.

Edited:

I just came across an article about what college alums have actually scored points in the Super Bowl (not TD passes thrown) and it broke down the total points by school. For instance, Lafayette has scored a total of 13 points in Super Bowls which put them at 58th place out of 142 schools listed. LaTech has scored 24 points to tie at 32nd. ULM, however, has never scored a point in the big game.

But I dug a little further and found this nugget: Stan Humphries threw for and completed the first 2-point conversion in Super Bowl history in XXIX (1995). So there's that.

Back to work...

ULL athletics ran over budget by $8 million

Any word on visitors this week?

I went again to Hanging with the Hawks Softball fundraiser last night. It is always a fun event and they do it right.
Showed want they needed and wanted. Goal was $100k. They raised $140,000+.

Just goes to show you make it fun, have a plan and goal, and have good items it can work.

Yes guys...I'm back. Had a cordial conversation with Dusty and he graciously let me post again...I'm sure to the disgust of some of you...and I understand that...I acknowledge I'm a loose cannon more often than not but to be honest...I feel I'm a voice of some who want to voice their opinions but fear the repercussion...

Anyway, I went to the ULM Bookstore Friday and was AMAZED at the sideline apparel that they have! LOTS of Adidas offerings!
