Ouch. And the ref takes a point away.

It should be but I don't take anything for granted. McNeese played well. maybe their best game of the season. Happy we still prevailed and saddled them with a loss.

Thankfully Brown hit his stride from the line in that 2nd half. I don’t know if they track the +/- stat in college, but I’m fairly certain MT wouldn’t want to see his number tonight. Impressive venue. Got loud a couple times with 500 people. Potential is there if McNeese can ever get something going with that program.

Greg Williams had a big game. Good to see that.

Cajuns 10-1. It's been a long time since we had that kind of start. I'm going to enjoy it. Texas up next Wednesday. Will be biggest test of season by far.

Greg’s start this season has been very encouraging. Last season pre-tournament Greg start to this season and we would probably have 6 wins tops.

By what metric though? I’m looking at it as a fan, and they are doing the things I want to see us do. Nice updated appropriately sized venue. Family friendly ticket prices. Granted I didn’t see beer prices, but I’d be willing to bet it’s cheaper than CD. No getting bent over the table with fees. Look at it from a league perspective, and we can’t look down our nose at anyone while we’re in a 16 seed league. Fan interaction? 3-7 team drew a very similar crowd to what our 9-1 team could. We outspend them, but that doesn’t automatically make the spending wiser.

Everything you said is correct. My point is that it shouldn't just be great that we beat McNeese, it should be expected. We still almost triple their budget and resources all across the board. This isn't 1975 anymore. They are no longer our peers.
