Football players aren't the only ones reporting for duty at Louisiana-Monroe this week.

New ULM athletics Bobby Staub and wife Laura arrived in Monroe from Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday night. The former Alabama-Birmingham senior associate AD starts work at his Malone Stadium office today as he opens a new chapter in his life and for ULM athletics.

"I'm looking forward to it and I'm excited," Staub said Monday in a phone interview before leaving Alabama. "Trying to make the transition has been kind of a challenge because I can't wait to get there - but I was trying to get things squared away at UAB."

ULM hired Staub on June 30, but it has taken a month to tie up the loose ends at a school where he worked loyally for 20 years. Staub will replace Bruce Hanks, who announced his resignation in March after three years on the job at ULM.

Staub will work from a short list and a long list as he takes the helm at ULM. Football players will report officially on Thursday and Staub is anxious to see that sport kick off on the right foot. ULM is coming off a 1-11 season, but there is renewed optimism as head coach Charlie Weatherbie begins his second season with a revamped staff.

"Football is upon us," Staub said. "Things that are critical and important now are ticket sales and marketing. That's a priority right now. All of the fall sports are of critical importance right now."

ULM needs a new head golf coach after Rich Merritt announced his resignation in July to take a job at Nevada. Merritt led ULM to the Southland Conference championship last season and Staub wants that program to continue its ascent.

"We need to look at our golf hire," Staub said. "You talk about priorities and one immediate priority is to get a golf coach."

Staub will meet and evaluate coaches and other staff members in the athletic department as he acclimates. Staub began his career as assistant athletic ticket manager at UAB in 1984 and has worn many hats in the past two decades. Staub's is a comprehensive perspective that should serve him well.

"It has to be a team approach and everybody has got to contribute," Staub said. "From the people in the community to the ticket office to media relations to the equipment room, it has to be a team effort."

Staub made a brief trip to Monroe in July for ULM's Outback Classic, a popular golf tournament and dinner that takes place each summer to support the golf program. The visit only reinforced Staub's feelings about his new home.

"When I came back that weekend for the Outback, it only strengthened my resolve about what we can get done here," Staub said. "If we all do our jobs, the people in this community will support this program."

During the interview process, Staub familiarized himself with some of the issues facing ULM. He arrives at a point of transition for the athletic department, with the school announcing this summer that it will leave the Southland Conference by 2006 to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports. ULM president Jim Cofer said he wants Staub to create a strategic plan to carry the department forward.

"We're going to get it done," Staub said. "This is not a three- or six-month project. We're looking for long-term solutions."

We now have a new look and some new sub forums. Thanks to georgia tech swagger and the admin team for setting it up.

I will begin to move some topics into the sub forums, which should give us a little better organization of our discussions. They can now be grouped in some general categories.

between Lafayette and Baton Rouge, please stop by and visit our new Lousiana Welcome Center located at exit 121 (Butte LaRose). The Atchafalaya Welcome Center opened on June 18th and is not your "usual" welcome center. In addition to the maps, and other literature that welcome centers usually have it also contains museum-quality exhibits, animatronics and video theatre presentation. I encourage anyone interested in Louisiana History and/or culture to stop by and take a few minutes to look around. If you have young children they will really enjoy it. If you stop by on a Saturday ask for Eric (aka SwampHound). For more information on the Atchafalaya Welcome Center click on the links below.

How do you figure that, Dave? Pennsylvania is a state located right next door to Ohio and across a lake from Michigan!

Answer me this, Dave. What is wrong with you? Are you underage, from another country and can barely speak English, or something else? Seriously, tell us. Because as far as we know you are just a person who is an adult and can speak English, but just is afraid to.

I say this in the most heartfelt way that I can, Dave. You are really making yourself out to look like a dumb******.

Bobby Staub is a great hire for ULM. He will be a great asset. Maybe we can schedule some games in the future.

All ULM sports may make jump to Sun Belt

It makes good sense to have all your athletic programs in 1 conference.

Conference receives letter from school citing 'interest in full membership.'

Sun Belt Conference commissioner Wright Waters applauded the news bursting out of Baton Rouge about Louisiana-Monroe last Thursday.

"If you are a ULM supporter," Waters said, "last week was a victory."

The Carr Report - a review of ULM athletics prepared and presented by Carr Sports Associates to the University of Louisiana Board of Supervisors - recommended that the Indians move forward in joining the Sun Belt in all sports.

Given the ULS blessing after receiving the review, ULM officials wasted no time making the next step official in pursuing full membership.

"We have now received a letter from (ULM president) Dr. Cofer," Waters said. "It arrived Friday, expressing interest in full membership."

Sad news for ULM family

My prayers are with the entire Pittington family, and the entire ULM family. I actually know someone who is on the swimming and diving team right now at ULM. Losing someone close is not easy. Once again, my deepest sympathies are with the Pittington's.
