Let’s get one thing straight: Ragin’ Review isn’t here to make friends. It’s not here to sugarcoat, kiss ass, or play politics. It’s here to hold UL Athletics accountable—loudly, unapologetically, and with more fire than the entire Cajun Field student section on a Saturday night.

While official channels push out safe, sterile content and act like everything is fine, Ragin’ Review is out here telling the truth. When the marketing is stale, we say it. When coaching decisions are questionable, we say it. When the fans aren’t showing up, we call it out. And guess what? That honesty is exactly what UL Athletics needs right now.

We’re the ones asking the hard questions. The ones keeping the conversation alive when the rest of the fanbase is too tired or too checked out to care. We don’t owe anyone a PR spin. They owe the truth to a fanbase that deserves better.

Ragin’ Review isn’t the problem—we’re a mirror. And if what you see in it makes you uncomfortable, maybe the issue isn’t us. Maybe it’s time UL Athletics took a long, hard look at itself and started earning the respect it keeps asking for.

Because let’s be real—no one else is carrying the torch like we are. We show up. We know the history. We bleed Vermilion and White. And we do it without a paycheck, without institutional support, and often without the respect they damn well deserve.

We’re not here for likes. We’re here because they care. And in a world where most people are too scared to speak up, that’s rare. That’s necessary. And that’s exactly why Ragin’ Review matters.

So to the haters, the trolls, the overly sensitive administrators: you don’t have to like Ragin’ Review. But if you care about this program—really care—you better start listening.

Because we’re not just talking.

We’re fighting for the soul of Cajun Nation.
