Is it just me, or does anyone else feel

[CajunEXPRESS]

When going to a sporting event becomes a duty to the team you got a real problem with the program. Yes I share that feeling that going to a UL game is simply NOT fun very often.

Style of play, lack of stars, and youth are all laid at the feet of the coach. This is the third year, and he got a redo. Go figure.

Cheer up BC. It's Friday and you got a party to host tonight.

BTW, how was your Canes last night?

Tore it up on the way home. Got in my truck this morning and it smelled like I had just done a 12 hour shift at Popeyes.

Ha!

Canes can't win (must feel like Marlin) they come up with the food and Popeyes gets the promo.

The team just lost by 2 in double OT after trailing 13 in 2nd half. Worked their _____$$$$$ off.

Y'all are missing the point of what I'm trying to say. At no point did I say this team has no heart or desire to win. This team has FAR surpassed the effort of any team over the last 12 years, mostly because the Jessie teams were so talented they didnt need to hustle. They just won off of plain talent.

I just don't get WHY they have to consistently be playing from behind. And yes losing to teams such as TexSo and other subpar SBC teams throws me for a loop. Change those out for squeaker wins and we're 10-8, maybe 11-7 and looking REAL pretty for postseason hopes.

Lets start again. TWO PART TIME starters from last year. TWO. This team is starting again with a group of guys who are willing to work hard in the scheme being played. If you don't think they work hard, you haven't been watching. Do they make mistakes & miss shots. Yes.

One that wasn't left at mid term apparently didn't want to work in the system. Nine of the thirteen current roster players are new. This was going to be a learning year from the start, and it's exactly what it has been. They've played and lost close games to a number of teams who have veteran leadership and returning skilled players all year. I can't remember any games where they weren't in it at the end.

Am I disappointed that we didn't win a few more, sure. But I also see a team who holds their heads up and fights to win games, not mopes on the side when they get taken out or shows up on the bench without a jersey. Without a doubt we need some better players to fill the roster, including more size, but I'd take this team over last years any day.

To answer your question about playing from behind
What do you expect we ONLY have 3 legitimate scoring players, and for some reason Mbamalu does not score much in the first half.
If kevin brown never got hurt, we would be alot better team because he could have helped provide a scoring punch we desperately need now

I think if we had one more scorer this year to go along with Mbamalu, Long, and Payton we would be above .500

Just like you can't throw out close wins, you can't throw out close loses.

This team plays hard, has no stars, and is young. How can anyone expect better than inconsistency. That would be the Marlin era so far.

Speaking of the redo? I have read and heard he was to get a redo because he was promised either verbally or in the original contract by winning the West he would get an extension.

I get honoring either, but if he got an extension when he was supposed to then he would be in year two of that extension and we would only be on the hook for two more. Since we delayed it we are in year one and on the hook for four more. By any logic the extension with all that has befallen him should bring it back to what it would have been in year one.

+1
Although the record is not that great, I could not be more proud of the way this team plays. I love watching them play.

I think you are missing the point. I don't care why; its been three years and yes I am counting.

My biggest disappointment about last nights game was the court. Didn't the Cajundome folks think to check the court condition before shutting down the AC's in the place. The temperature was about 75 with I'm guessing a good level of humidity, so with the hockey rink below the ice the floor was sweating. It was dangerous for all involved. This is a professional arena, and they need to do a better job.

Another item might be to have court mops that actually are designed for the job available rather than a grad assistant using a small mop with a towel. The refs had to mop the court the first few times because there were none available on the court. I know they get kids volunteering for this which I think is a nice gesture but not always a good idea. Unfortunately, last night I guess none showed up.
