Irrefutable facts may not be your cup of tea, but others may appreciate them. No matter when we have a game we will be competing against some event. On Wednesday it is Lagcoe which has been an integral part of the south Louisiana economy since I can remember. I think we can all agree that Wednesday is a great opportunity for our football program and having Lagcoe at the same time does not diminish the excitement we are all feeling.

“Irrefutable facts”... 🙄

Good hell man, you need to get laid.

71 was obviously tongue n cheek.. And he’s not wrong, btw. A bunch of stiffs with sob stories looking for a reason to get out of the office and drink afterwards. We’ve all done LAGCOE. My lady sits on the Young Professionals Board. I’d rather be at CF.

Has any said they would rather be anywhere else? Unless I hallucinated it, I’m pretty sure people here are miffed about Lagcoe interfering with the game. IMHO it is a non issue and is just a way for people here to complain...much like the old timers at Lagcoe. I expect a good crowd on Wednesday and I am hopeful people who have left the program over the past few years will give us another look.

If you don’t have a new method of service or latest technological advancement, it’s not worth seeing. If your unemployed, LAGCOE could be a win; but in this hurting market, I doubt anyone is hiring.

I live in Houston and won't make this game, but I will absolutely make sure someone is in my season ticket seats.

Yes, the date isn't ideal for my attendance, but we are going to be the ONLY football game on TV the entire night. I will gladly sacrifice my attendance for that kind of exposure.

Everyone has their own thing, but I am doing everything in my power to get as many family and friends to the game vs complaining about why I can't make it.

Geaux Cajuns !!

He tells us that he was kicked off of here, but I don't believe him. He's RaginRayne. 😂

FWIW, they do have a career fair on the Friday. Whether people are hiring or not, I don’t know

Yeah sorry. I saw some other people moaning about Lagcoe. People _____ about everything these days so sarcasm is tougher to pick up.

But this game is personal. We owe those bastards for so many reasons. This community is starving for a winner. We will have the football world’s attention. All eyes in Lafayette, LA. In the Swamp.

I’ll gladly lose a night of sleep to relish in a victory.

True.
Nothing helps a hangover at work the next day like a Cajuns win in the bag.

Just look at the Oline and DLine. Playing 25 guys just there. And dominating.

If we can somehow hold on to this staff for one more full year, they will set us up for the next decade. As complimentary as we've been of these guys, we still don't know the true impact that they're having. They are changing the perception and professionalism with which we are associated.

We have 5-7 coaches, maybe more, that will be at P5 schools in the next 2-3 years. We have 3-4 head coaches on staff right now.

Staff the course. Make history.

During Huds run of good teams, especially the first year, I always felt we were doing it with smoke and mirrors. I honestly couldn’t figure out how we won. I enjoyed it, but it never felt solid.

I have none of those thoughts now. We are winning because we are good.

Thinking about this team on my way back to hotel in Augusta, like this writer, it struck me that this is a "we need it" offense"..they get what they need and just keep churning yards at a fever pace, it's not a very bright lights and glamour group...Defense is the same way, in its own way..not stylish, but the job gets done...amd it's not for lack of talent, there are at least 7 guys on offense and a handful on D that will have the chance to play on Sundays in the future...this team just kicks azzz, one opponent at a time.

I wish a sellout would happen but I predict 22,000 will show up, which is good

We are preaching to the choir and we forget choir is not as large as we would like. That does not means we should not do everything possible to encourage people showing up. It is a challenge however in that we forget sometimes how few people pay attention to anything other than major schools. That being said, if you are even a casual fan you need to find a way to be there. If you live out of town and have tickets, please find a way to make sure your tickets are used. If you have trouble doing so, call the Athletic Department and they may be able to find use for them.

---

Yeah, based upon recent attendance history I might have a bad case of irrational exuberance. But the Cajuns have flipped the script. WTH, we all talk it up everywhere and with extra promotions who knows?

20k+. Would be nice

Agree. I hope we can get to 24k.

Excellent point. We won with Hud with a lot of emotion and some lucky bounces. I loved it but like my ex wife it was not sustainable.

This is big boy football. Alabama football with 3 stars rather than 5. Do your job. Trust the system

This is sustainable

I think we get 28k. There is a buzz around town I haven’t seen in 6-7 years

Deep at WR and RB. Decent depth at LB & DE. I feel we aren’t stacked on the OL or at DT. There are capable backups but the level of play would drop. Definitely not deep at QB and we must hope that Levi stays healthy.

Seriously? We haven’t really lost a step at OL with 2 backups in their. We lost 2 All SBC offensive lineman and replaced them with two guys who could be All SBC.

The DL is stout as well. We are playing a ton of kids and the under class men will keep getting better.

Im praying for 40K+. Yeah, yeah I know....but i can dream.
