2012 12th Game ???

[CajunT]

I think McNeese and Southern will happen again in the future as well.

I did talk to a McNeese supporter who is in the know. He said that a contract was sent by McNeese to Scott Farmer who was looking to fill a spot on September 1st since the Southern game was nixed. Apparently Texas A&M dropped McNeese who they were scheduled to play on that same opening date to play La Tech. A&M bought out McNeese and left UL in a position to offer McNeese an contract similar to the one in 2007. It was a smaller pay day for McNeese, a workable pay out by UL, and a win/win for both schools due to the potential attendence.

La Tech had to "buy out" Lamar who they were scheduled to play on September 1st as well. For whatever reason, the contract between ULL vs McNeese was a go according to Scott Farmer until it was stopped by a "higher up". If that higher up was President Savoie or Coach Hudspeth I do not know, but they are the only ones who could stop it.

Right now, my hunch would be getting Lamar to come in from "out of state" because frankly they need a game just like McNeese. If UL is looking for an FBS opponent then I have no idea; but, time is getting short and FBS schools are filling up their schedules. And we need a 6th HOME game!

The contract was not stopped by either, thats the ____ of the crow talk coming out of Lake Charles. Anyone on this board think Coach Hudspeth is scared to play McNeese State? We are not talking about Rickey Bustle here, but a coach that beat a MWC in a bowl game. From what I've heard UL was already in negotiations with another FCS program when McNeese was bought out by Texas A&M and didn't want to hurt themselves in the future with that program. Why burn bridges with a program that you have entered into contract negtiations in good faith with? The Cajuns were in contract talks with Lamar and another before McNeese became available. I'm sure McNeese will get done, but I don't think anyone is buying Mark Hudspeth is scared to play McNeese. Anyone that has gotten to know him, knows that is an absolute joke.

Ha ha! You're from Orange? I grew up there and went to BC (as my neighborhood was in both school districts). Yes, it is Lamar. We will be seeing you folks come September.

I am...went to WOS.

Thanks for clearing this up, Cajun T. We all know the results we saw all of last year. McNeese still is a bunch of wanna-be's that missed the boat years ago!

Told Hud at the BB game tonight that the word out of Lake Charles is he is scared to play McNeese. His response was, "You believe that BJ"? I answered quickly, no coach I do not! LOL!!!!

The only ones buying the "HUD is scared" line is the delusional brokeback fans. (Now run on back to the BBU forum, brokeback trolls; we know you're lurking.)

The Lake Charles American Press...with it's "glad I have spell check" Hickey writes an article "Lamar Srikes Deal With Cajuns"...he states " the fact might partially explain why the Cardinals will be starting the year in Lafayette rather than the Cowboys, who handed ULL a humbling 38-17 loss in 2007". McNeese has more problems than missing a meal ticket...it is always easier to blame it on UL..

I'm sure you folks will enjoy having us to town rather than McSleeze anyway. Their fans are annoying. I'm contemplating making the trip from Dallas. It's a pretty cheap flight.
