I agree with your assessment of the program. I like Mike also, but we screwed the pooch with this hire. I thought for sure Lamar would be the scapegoat and fired this morning, but he saved our rear ends last week. I for one will not stop buying tickets or my tailgating spot but that doesn't mean I will give up my Saturdays to watch this debacle. I still have three road trips on my schedule UAB, SoAl and Ark State lord I hope those trips are worth it for me. I guess I'm ok with making a change if that's the route we want to go. I mean we can't slip any further, can we? One last thing the hardest part of this team is the coaching staff not making adjustments like using the portal or in-game adjustments almost like we don't have a clue.

Y’all don’t give up. UL football needs us more than ever to weather this storm. Des is our coach like it or not for at least the next 2 years. Let’s hope he turns the corner, but it is clear he was not qualified to be a HC. Good assistant, good person, Cajun thru and thru but my only hope is that he turns the corner and begins to win these close games because there will be many more close games coming up.

It’s not the people on RP you have to worry about giving up.

Almost as if it’s intentional. Having to consistently promote and put on a good event for 25k-35k people is too much damn work. 12k-17k is perfectly comfortable for the group responsible.

There's a huge bit of truth in that statement...UL is not going to spend the resources to host 25k+ on a regular basis...

When you’re not a P5 team and NOBODY poaches one or more of your coaches in the off-season, that is NOT a good sign.

Des said at the beginning of the year that we need to win close games this year unlike last year. Well Epic fail number 1 close game.
The only good thing is, the season is young. Lots of football to be played.

The good news is....there's a lot of football to play.

The bad news is....there's a lot of football to play.
