2007 Football preview and offseason fan talk

The real reason these guys can`t play is because there is a bad case of the small cocks going around over there. _

Shouldn't keep 'em down very long, BCS programs can afford to have a few Viagra stations on the sidelines.

no doubt some coaches are _______s and take pleasure in humilating opponents.....i just worry more about why my team could get the score run up on it....focus on what you can control...

if you get beat 70 - 0, it ain't the other coaches fault, wheather he's "ran up the score" or not....get better and don't cry...


What if we lay a whipping on someone by running our option run attack......and we put in morel or hundley and he run's it just as well....are we running up the score? Should we start passing so as to not run up the score? What if that works too? Should we just start taking a knee? I would find that even more humiliating if I was the opponent.

Stokley took a bunch of knees inside the Tulane ten when it was clear they could no longer stop us. Kept it under 50, so yes we could run dive plays, could use other backs that need work. Spurrier is an a(ss). You can try and spin it however you like.

I did not miss a moments sleep when Nebraska put sixty plus on Florida in that bowl game for a national title.

I agree that the coach can stil run his playbook. If he has his back up s in there and after getting a comfortable lead and they still manage to score I don't consider that running it up. But leaving the starters in well after the game is in hand and is what I consider running it up. Agreed that it means your team has to get better but that point has apparently already been made what more is ther to prove by leaving the starters in?

I'm personally not going to cut Spurrier any slack for his antics, but I could care less if anyone runs up the score on me. Once you are in a position to be humiliated, it is already done. Therefore, I could really care less about the final minutes. It's actually a little more humiliating to a competitor like myself to know that I have put my opponent in a position to coast down the final stretch.

Now... if Bustle gets into a position against USC where we have a substantial margin midway thru the 4th quarter, we should get a few reps in with some of the Cajun 2nd and 3rd stringers. However, due to it being Spurrier, I would like us to take a knee, act dignified, and offer the Gamecocks some corn.

Getting whipped 70-0, while running the option is one thing. Then all you can do is cry, because you are terrible! But throwing the ball down field and trying to get your second or third units in the endzone is another. Apples and Oranges!

WTCaCa is "Carolina". Sounds like a girlie school. Damn, and I thought flowers on the helments was a bad idea.

(Please folks, it's all tongue in cheek)

Iknew this would get some good post

[RaginFan2]

_ The rivals link is the best place to get good football chat. of course we have our share of idiots as does everyone, so if you encounter them i apologize in advance. Southern cal is legally "USC" and actually ironically we are " The USC". LOL hoping for a good game with no injuries. _

Thanks for the good info. In case you didn't know, the name reference is really about OUR name. The LSU folks ALWAYS (nearly) insist that we can't be UL, since our "official" name is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Some have said we can't be UL because there is already a UL (Louisiville). Hence the faux complaint about USC.

[NewsCopy]

  Hundreds of different situations and odd scenarios can come up during college football games, and UL's squad started going through many of those situations in Friday's practice.

But that was just a warmup.

Today, when UL wraps up its third week of fall practice, the Cajuns will spend the majority of the workout going through different situations that could pop up during the season.

UL coach Rickey Bustle said that the team will go through at least 72 different oddities today during its 9 a.m. practice.
"You can't hit them all during the season," he said. "You hope that if we go over them now, you can react to them during a game. Most of them we hope don't come up."

The Cajuns actually began going through some of the scenarios in Friday's pads-and-shorts practice, after spending the team part of drills working on South Carolina.

Beside the definiton of "class act" in the dictionary is a picture of Nelson Stokley.

I recollect his alma mater once put up 60 on Tulane and then scored a 2 point conversion so they could match a 62-0 in a prior season.

There's definition for that too but I'd get banned if I shared it here.
