I was at the game (didn't leave early) and I was dismayed to see the entire fan section sit in silence watching the game. The cheerleaders were yelling there heads off, but got no reaction. It's like people have no pride. Heck I have fun cheering on the cajuns, I know they can't here me down there anyway. We had a decent turnout, if everyone is loud while we are on defense maybe we can have a real home field advantage (gasp). The student section sounded loud and proud, I could here them cheering and chanting for most of the game.
I guess my point is for everyone go to the game and try to get everyone around you into the game and off there feet. When an announcer has to tell the fans when to make noise, that is not good. We have many players who deserve our cheers.

It's not hard to figure out why UL's football team is 0-2 for the 2007 season.
The Cajuns' first two opponents have played more consistently for a longer period of time than the UL squad, a fact that cost the Cajuns dearly in their 31-23 Saturday loss to Ohio University in their home opener.
UL bolted out to a 20-10 halftime lead despite giving up a pair of big plays, more than making up for that with an offense that amassed 356 total yards - 41 more than its entire total one week earlier against South Carolina.

But that offense had only five possessions in the second half when the Bobcats went to a clock-eating running game, and UL had success on only two of those - a 52-yard march to a field goal and a last-gasp 75-yard march that ended at the Ohio 2 on a disputed fumble.
Meanwhile, Ohio only had to go 43, 55 and 54 yards for three straight touchdowns in a 14-minute period.
"They made the plays and we didn't," said Cajun coach Rickey Bustle, whose team is 0-2 for the third straight season. "We were playing against a team that knows how to hang in there and win, and my hat's off to them. They stayed the course and we did not make the plays."
There was a sense of desperation throughout the fourth quarter after Ohio only needed three plays to go 55 yards and get the touchdown that provided a 24-23 lead. There was still 14:34 left in the game, but less than five minutes later the Cajuns went for a fourth-and-10 at the Ohio 35 and quarterback Michael Desormeaux was sacked for a 10-yard loss.
"I felt like our defense wasn't stopping them," Bustle said of that decision. "I felt like it gave us a charge to try and go get it. We were trying to score right there."
Ohio took over and drove 54 yards to a final touchdown with 4:32 left, converting three third-down situations in that march. In all, the Bobcats were 5-of-9 on third downs in the second half.
"We were awful on third down," said defensive coordinator Kevin Fouquier. "The second half, they came out with a more physical attitude. They're a running team, but they threw it a lot early and that got us off balance. In the second half they came out and ran it."
"Little things hurt us," said cornerback Jarrett Jones, who had his second interception of the season to halt an Ohio late second-quarter march. "We had a lot of missed assignments and some blown coverages. We just didn't do the things we should do."
Ohio tailback Kalvin McRae, bottled up for only 19 yards in the first half, had all three second-half rushing touchdowns and finished with 84 yards. UL nearly doubled the Bobcats on the ground 277 to 152, with both Tyrell Fenroy (136) and Desormeaux (101) going over the 100-yard mark, but Ohio won the field-position battle and used those short fields for the three scores.
Desormeaux, going over the 100-yard rushing mark for the second straight week, hit that figure with a 30-yard run to the Ohio 23 in the final two minutes. That drive eventually reached the Ohio 12, where on third down Desormeaux hit wide receiver Louis Lee on a crossing route.
Lee appeared to be stopped at the Bobcat 2, which would have given UL a first-and-goal, but was hit and fumbled and Landon Cohen made the game-saving recovery for Ohio. Both still-photo and local television video showed Lee's knee on the ground and the ball still in his possession, but the official video replay was apparently inconclusive and the call on the field stood.
That failed last march put UL over the 500-yard offensive mark, and UL finished with 534 total yards - more than in any game last year and the most since a 554-yard effort two seasons ago at Arkansas State which ironically also came in a loss.
"Pretty much we beat ourselves," said wide receiver Derrick Smith, who finished with four catches for 99 yards. "Every team's going to make adjustments at halftime, but they didn't do anything major. It was just that we didn't execute."

i totally agree with you. i have never seen so many people sitting on their hands in my entire life. I would try to get people to stand up and cheer and they just look at me like i was talking in the middle of a movie theater. We have no home field advantage. The way cajun field was saturday night was probably the least intimidating place to play. At one point i think i heard blake anderson calling the plays straight down to the sidelines from the pressboxes, he didn't even need his head set.
Let's talk about this upcoming game with that team called the McNeese Cowboys. An "unbiased" friend told me that they really looked good against Portland State. I think we are in for a real dog fight (calm down Vick, no dogs).
A quick hindsight... we were expected to get blown away by SC and we played way above external expectations. With Ohio, we were clearly evenly matched, and allowed a close one to slip thru our grasp... with a little help by a bad call. Ohio was extraordinarily disciplined on both sides of the ball. (PS no doubt the touchdown was in the bag. I was only concerned whether the 2 point conversion would also be pulled off. I think we would have sealed the deal in OT.)
Looking forward... the coaching staff is not going to let the team overlook McNeese. They are not going to be "down" like the fair weather fans are. I've been around a few years and seen fans completely turn their back on programs, and the football team comes right back and plays the game of their lives. Happens all the time.
What do you predict will happen this Saturday?
I believe our new offense and defense is going to show its potential. I think it was too much to fully utilize on a SC, and I think Ohio was at least as good as the best in the SBC. This is the last game prior to conference play. I am looking for tight execution and successful results from our new offense and defense. What say you?
