2006: Louisiana-31 Houston-28

I am so glad that I went and I thought going in that we had about a 40% chance of getting the win. As a confidence builder and a stepping stone for our future this is huge. The only thing we need to do is to be ready to quickly replace Bustle when more money comes a KNOCKING. With how he brought our team out of the grave and to the top of this conference in 5 years is nothing short of fantastic. I am not one that wants us to jump conference, because I beleave that you dance with the girl that goes to the dance with you. Only if the other schools are not stepping up and improving should we walk away. I would love to have LaTech in our conference. Their football & girls basketball have a nice long and successful history. If we can step up another notch in the near future in football and boys basketball becomes what I think Lee can make it we'll be real interesting to someone. We know we bring it in baseball and softball. See you in the future!!!

I went to both games and they were both great in their own right. A&M had not made its own downturn just yet, and had beaten LSU in season opening games in those years. That A&M game was huge for us, and the goal post destruction made national sports news.

This Houston game is great since it comes on the cusp of getting this program's return notched up another level. I would still like to see where this Houston team goes this season. I would like for them to prove themselves worthy of the initial 4-0 and 1pt Miami loss. How Houston does from here on puts this game, as far as critics go, in a certain perspective. However, it is huge for this program right now. And as far as I am concerned, right now is what I deal with.

I also believe this Houston game is more significant in one respect. It will have a larger impact on our recruiting than that A&M game did. Our potential recruits in the east Texas and Houston area have to consider this, if we keep it going. We are up against CUSA in many recruiting battles, and last season, a good finish to this season, and this win cannot do anything but help recruiting... and winning... and attendance... and revenues... and not necessarily in that order. Those relationships are a nested web of dependent structures.

Keep Geauxing Cajuns!!!!!!

I was sitting directly on the right of yall yelling my _____ off and the first to jump over the wall to high five the boys after the prayer.

It was a great win but we need to get over it this week and start getting ready for confrence. I've seen to many times after a big win we do not come out to play the next week. We can not let that happen next wednesday night. So not only does the team need to let this win go but the town and news paper needs to let it go.

Bustle has been good about getting us back up for the next week after a big game (Note last year after we beat MT). Not to mention, I have a feeling that there is a bit of a revenge factor after last years loss at cajun field that ruined our bowl chances...Revenge will be sweet and on national TV. We win by 21 pts minimum.

I agree, a win by 21 or more. I will be screaming at the big screens at Marleys for the entire game

They came last year and beat us by 18 I believe 28-10? I want to embarress them to extract our revenge for that loss.

I'm glad yall all enjoyed the post, I was afraid that it was too long, but after rereading it myself, it seems just perfect to pull you through the whole gamut of emotions. I'm just very glad that I was able to make it to see this game.

Now on to FAU,

Does anyone know how we're looking injury wise after this game? I know I saw two DB's down at some point during the game, and I wasnt sure how severe their injuries were.

P.S.I was in section 219, a few rows in front of the guy who kept yelling at bustle "Did you watch any game tape of this team?" and a few rows behind a guy with his kid who loved when I would yell "another cajun first down" or "Suck it Ref!"...god I love our fans.

Trust me, I was on the sidelines. I've never heard our fans that loud at an away game, not even in Monroe last year. On our last drive, we we kept getting first downs in the red zone, our fans went NUTS. From the sidelines, I could hear the roar as if I was at Cajun Field. I'll say this, YOU GUYS WERE THE 12TH MAN!!!!!!!

For HC, when Middle Tenn. comes to town, let's make Cajun Field the place to be. Let's make the roar we did up in Houston. As it is stated in the fight song, "you will hear the rage of the Cajuns so let's give a yell" let's give a LOUD yell in a few weeks for our next home game.

I couldn't be any prouder right now as a Cajun fan. Not to mention, I loved hearing excuses from all of my LSU buddies at school today.

THE WINNING BEGINS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's not look underestimate them like Houston did to us. Even though the Houston game was one of the biggest wins this program has ever seen, a blunder on national television against a not-so-great FAU team will be a HUGE step back. Let's keep rollin', but also keep our eyes right in front us...

Your right as confident as I am that we can really get on a roll, we have to take everyone seriously and not overlook anyone.

I dont think anyone is saying to overlook them, in fact, I think due to last years debacle, we focus twice as much and we beat the crap out of them.
