Catholic High takes business to Lafayette

Football Fan

 

The Iberia Parish Schools each recently received a letter from Catholic High School stating that they no longer wished to play in the Iberia Parish Football Jamboree.  Instead, they will now be playing in the Lafayette Jamboree.  The reason stated was that it would give their kids the opportunity to play on Cajun Field.  Instead of switching when they were hosting the jamboree, they pulled the switch when another school was hosting leaving the burden of finding another team on that school.  The Jamboree brings in a good amount of funding for the Iberia Parish Schools.  Having a school pull out of the Jamboree will have a great impact because it will take many people from Iberia Parish and bring them to Lafayette.  At a time when the economy is heading south and we are being asked to spend our money in our parish, they are taking their business elsewhere.  Bravo Catholic High!

    " The brake pad was from Harley Davidson, stamped genuine Harley Davidson parts on the exterior of the box. Even Willie G is a sell-out. Now they can only state that the bikes are assembled in America, the parts are built where ever they can find cheapper labor. Fruit of the Loom, Levies, Hershies, Kodack, and most electronics and probable more than this space can allow in print have moved work out of the USA. The rich will find ways to keep getting richer. Watch out ,your job might be next. "

I was never more disgusted than when I orderd a brake disc for my Harley Davidson, Open the box stamped genuine American Harley Davidson and the disc is stamped "Made in Japan". Sickening isn't it? 34 years of riding and this is what it comes to. Nothing is scared anymore. "

    Why should this story be sensationalized in the media? To satisfy hateful, gossipmongers as yourselves?

    Has it not occured to any of you that there are others involved (such as a wife, children and a minor)? How Christian of your desire to satiate your hateful tendancies that you would enjoy the hurt and embarressment of the truly innocent.

    I am repulsed! "

Please remember that as you shop, eat, pick physicians, carpenters, appliance salesman, car dealers, etc. Sad to report, though, that Catholic turned its back on a local orthepedic and athletic trainer/therapy group in favor of a lafayette group on Coach Brodie's arrival. Sad. New iberia can be so great, but we just keep on making it a Lafayette stepchild. "

Same old same old is just that .It gets old. Varity is the spice of life. As adults we tell kids to see the world . Now you local yocals cry, cause they try something different . And no I did not go to school there. There was just always a healthy rivalry with the guys I knew from there. "

    " CHS is not the CHS that it used to be. Uhl has totally destroyed everything that CHS stood for. So many students and teacher have left there and more are leaving everyday. It used to be you were put on a waiting list to get in to CHS now he is putting ads in the paper for students. That is saying something people. You are paying hard earned money for this education that consist of mostly first year teachers that most of them don't even stay the year and if they do they don't come back the next year. "

    Former CHS Parent wrote on Dec 14, 2008 8:18 AM:

    " It's all about the money!!! Lets ask Dr. Uhl how much money he is losing from all of the students dropping out of CHS. How many students have left there since he has been principle. I know for a fact it is alot. All his big time money backers are not giving money to that school anymore, so he has to get it anyway he can. We need to do like professional sport teams. When the team is not doing well they fire the coach not the players. Since thats not working the students of CHS are walking. Thanks UHL. "

    Outside Looking In wrote on Dec 13, 2008 8:05 PM:

    " In my opinion, UHL needs to go back from where he came. He is not part of our family oriented culture and has not made any attempt to try to become part of our culture. And as for Brodie, he needs to hang it up. There is a dark plague hanging over the school and I don't see it lifting anytime. This disease infestation has begun to attack the faculty. Some of the best teachers are leaving because of Dr. Uhl and his favoritism he shows to part of the faculty, especially certain young women. When are you leaving Uhl? "

    " I also despise the holier than thou attitudes of many students, parents, and faculty, that make up the general atmosphere of Catholic High. That being said, I also love the fact that those who have repeatedly put Catholic High down on this forum, are now complaining that they are "taking their business elsewhere." What this indicates to me, is some people are simply chronic complainers, and will never be satisfied. Just the way I see it. "

    " How interesting that CHS would want to play in Lafayette rather that New Iberia where they are constantly asking for monetary support. Every Sunday at church we are asked to help with CHS debt reduction, yet they decide to bring their fans to Lafayette where the money(concessions,etc.) will benefit Lafayette schools. How can DR. Uhl ask advertisers to support the football program, school fundraisers, etc when he has decided that Lafayette money is better. This is just another example of how "if you are not from here you don't understand the family dynamics". "

    " We are glad that Brodie left Westgate he ran the wrong offense with the talent that he had. Those kids left Anderson Middle School 14-0 for two years. He is selfish his Son plays at LSU, but did not try to get other kids scholarship. I know personally that Catohlic High recruits they tried getting my son to attend and may offers to defer our cost, Loreauville program is lacking because they have kids that would help that program.
    By the way CHS will be playing VC NV or SMSH these programs are down right now. "

    " From what I hear, Dr. Uhl isn't even a Cajun Fan! Why all the interest in OUR field all of a sudden?I guess Tiger Stadium would be a far reach for CHS. He wouldn't lower his standards to attend UL tailgating parties. Michael Desormeaux is a fine example of what CHS football was all about under Coach Comeaux's leadership. A proud moment for CHS. Leave it at that. Let the kids work hard and earn a spot on that field. Better yet, Dr. Uhl, send your money to ULL! LSU has enough. "

Unfortunately, our society is full of violence. CHS playing in Lafayette is because they have the mind set that they are better than everyone else. That attitude carries over into every sport. Just because you are a private school no are no different than the rest of us. Have fun in Lafayette your season outcome will be the same. "

I dont even know why this is up for discussion. Each school has the right to make their own schedules, which includes the jamboree. If each school and their supporters would mind their OWN business and stop gossiping, the players can enjoy playing the sport. ADULTS RUIN EVERYTHING because they THINK they know better. GROW UP! "

Since the arrival of Dr. Ulh he has dismissed many teachers and coaches that were successful at CHS. I personally do not think Dr. Ulh will stop his nonsense by any means. He will continue to ruin this great school. I hope Coach Comeaux is having a grand time at his new school and wish him continued well wishes. "

    " This doesn't surprise me at all. The school and football team have been a joke since Brodie and Dr. Ulh have taken over. If my son was not a senior this year and would have left Catholic High all together. As for the football team as long as Brodie is here we will never get anything accomplished. Hopefully CHS will play STM or Acadiana and the administration will see how stupid this move was. Now that I think about it Catholic high can not beat anyone in the Lafayette Jamboree. "

    " "The reason stated was that it would give their kids the opportunity to play on Cajun Field." What kind of reasoning is that? I don't think anyone from CHS will be playing on Cajun Field on Saturdays in the near future and they certainly will not be playing on turf in any championship game. That is just a poor excuse. That's typical how they would wait until they hosted the jamboree and then withdraw. I doubt the "catholic" school is even concerned about finding another team to take it's place leaving the burden to the next host. "
