Well, until we create some sort of tradition, I agree no bandwagon. McNesse had that cool clapping thing after each touchdown, I thought it was cool. Everyone in their crowd was up and following along.

We should create some tradition and do it soon..

This was an entire team loss. If I were the team, I would refuse any awards this week, perhaps give it to the Ragin Cajun fan base, and ask the fan's forgiveness for not being a better football team on Saturday.

I am not so quick to agree with the vertical passing attack with this team. Our OL was not managing the line in any way, shape or form. They are the key to our QB, RB, and overall offensive success. What I saw from them was a mystery.

I'm so unimpressed with our defense that I'm sick to my stomach. Defense is more of the aggression and attitude side of this game than offense. We should not have a defense that does not stand up to a McNeese at home. Right off the bat, McNeese was up in players faces and almost drawing flags with their aggression. I thought some UL players looked like they were hunting for their mamas in the stands. That had better stop.

There is one element of hope I would give to this team. There is no way in the world that McNeese somehow recruited a blevy of talent better than UL. That means that what McNeese opened up on the Cajuns Saturday was a supersized can of attitude. They came to win and take no prisoners. That has to happen for the Cajuns, or else it is all for not.

I'm not sure if this coaching staff knows how to inspire men to do extraordinary things, and maintain a nondefeatest attitude in the face of adversity and struggle. If they do, it would be a real good time to bring it on.

I will be coming back into town to see the Troy game. Please! Geaux Cajuns!

Based on info I received, Hundley left the team this morning.

I dont think that there should ever receive any awards when there in a loss involved, you have to focus on the good, yes, but in our first 3 games, we have only came out to play 6 quarters of football.

I will be in the stands Saturday, with all my crew, if I have to I will purchase extra tickets too.

Then why recruit him if you have no intentions of using him?

He should have been in there at the end of the 3rd quarter.

No offense, but Des Mo is not a good QB. He is a great athlete who should be on the field because of his heart, leadership and athleticism, but not at the QB position.

The NCAA will NEVER force anyone to move down. They don't have the Balls.

And McNeese moved DOWN to I-AA from I-A in 1982 even though we were fully qualified to stay, so there goes that theory. Some Gateway schools also did the same around the same time.

We appeared in 3 Indy bowls between 1976 and 1980.

Cajuns need more speed! That showed BIG TIME last night. McNeese has plenty of it. Bustle should not worry about the size quite so much and concentrate on speed, and developing strenth in the weight room during the RS year.

You can't develop speed, you either have it or you don't. But players can be made stronger.

I agree this loss lies squarely on the team AND the coaches. I feel as though we have to take some shots down field to keep defenses honest. However, I also feel we need to run the ball more out of the I formation instead of the shotgun. The success of the offense lies with the offensive line and on Saturday night the offensive line looked flat out beat. the defense is just flaout poor. We really need to reevaluate the guys we have out on the field because they like size, speed, and strength.

We are now trying to compare V.T. to U.L........G's come on guys let's get real about the type of football program we have here at the university. We are not on the same level as the major programs and to be honest we are not on the same level as mid-major program.

We are in the weakest conference in 1-A football with with teams who have not been in division 1 as long as we have(MTSU,NTU) but we continue to struggle to compete with these programs. Some fans have to take a honest look at the type of program we have here and just accept it for what it is. McNeese has done it and they can be proud of the product they have presented to their fans as it stands now UL is know as having the 4th best football program in Louisiana....1.) LSU 2.) La-Tech 3.) McNeese 4.) UL.....Let's get real!

hE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAT DOWN THAT GAME. TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. WHO KNOWS IF HUNDLEY/MOREL IS BETTER BUT YOU CAN NOT IGNORE THE OBVIOUS. WHEN A PERSON IS REACTING LIKE THEY ARE IN CRISIS YOU DON NOT LEAVE FALTER UNTIL THE GAME IS LOST.
