Man, I think Turb is probably going to have to dump that reference.

Listen, save the rest till tomorrow, I'll be back in Tuscaloosa about mid-day. Gotta make sure some projects are still in order when I get there.

We'll catch up tomorrow evening!

I know, let him know to check my post. I meant that in a good kind of "poo-poo" way.

Ahhh yes......someone sees the light! Good job dude.
It is GREAT to renew the rivalry with the Pokes. That night will mark what will hopefully be the renewing of true rivals playing each other on a consistent basis. Home and home is not a bad idea either. Fan interest, monies generated(more than any sunbelt team will bring in!!), big rivalry traditions!!!!! This has the making of something very big for the cajuns!

_____ off it aint gonna happen.

_ Some will say the McNeese game is just another game. Reality is the season is riding heavily on what happens when we take the field against McNeese. A home loss against Mcneese and attendence will suffer greatly for the rest of the season. Plus a loss to McNeese may signal that a change is needed at the head coach position in some fan's eyes. _

As my handle indicates, I don't relate to those fans of the school accross the river... the point being I dont look to fire a coach on a whim... That being said, Coach Bustle has had 6 years now... The best he can show for that period is 6-5... If we lose to Mcneese i think the time has come to begin discussing a change... He has had enough time.. We have excellent facilities... decent fan support... we need to start winning and it does not seem like he is doing the job....

Why not????????????? Those stirring rivalries with Ohio???????

MckeeNeese games have always been fun.... lets play em

[Just1More]

_ This game has only Negative importance. If we lose, then it's doom and gloom. If we win, then that is what should happen, and this game won't mean much to anyone. It will be a win over a Div IAA opponent. So what. _

Agree, but I could care less who we're playing. It is the next game and that makes it important.

Well, well, well boys and girls it's that time again!!!! How important is this McNeese St. game now? This is THE BIGGEST GAME in the history of cajun football hands down!!!! Nobody here, or better yet, nobody in their right frame of mind can say other wise unless they have some red colored glasses on. Face it folks, this game WILL make or break the season for the cajuns...........specifically for attendance and support the rest of the year! Certain groups of people don't want to admit it but facts are facts about this games importance and this being the biggest rival the cajuns have!! I sure hope the players aren't overlooking McNeese St. like certain other people are. This will be a very interesting game and one that should not be taken lightly by the fans. Enough is enough and there is really no other way to put it....................THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME IN THE HISTORY OF CAJUN FOOTBALL!!!!

McNeese St. is no pushover by any stretch of the imagination. So let's not go ahead and chalk up a victory just yet because McNeese is not coming here to just roll over because they're playing against the cajuns. There is 1 game and 1 game ONLY that should be worried about right now and that's McNeese St. Not Troy St. or Tennessee, or MTSU, or anyone else. This team cannot afford to look past anybody!

Anyone saying otherwise is fooling themselves and drinking the red stuff too much!!!!

I actually agree with some of this. I agree this is a big game in the minds of a lot of fans. I heard quite a few expressing the same "this will make or break our season" sentiment with regard to the McNeese game after the loss to Ohio on Saturday, so it's not like you're coming out of left field. I'm not sure why some Cajun fans feel like a loss to McNeese is so completely unacceptable. Is it just because they're FCS? Anyone who has followed football in south Louisiana in the last ten years knows that McNeese has a legitimate program with a lot of talent. I'm not digging the rivalry thing since I just don't feel it. I am 37 years old and can't remember at any time having an intense feeling about playing McNeese in anything. Some of the older people in our tailgating group are really excited about the game in what would seem to be a rivalry manner, but I personally don't get it. They're obviously remebering a time that I can't, and I just don't feel it.

That said, McNeese is gonna bring it. Anybody who thinks that they will not...pass me what your smokin'. The Cajuns will have to play a really good game. And I agree with you that they must not, at any cost, fall into the mindset that this game is a gimme. I don't think they could after the huge upset by App State at Michigan. I don't think any FBS program will look at ranked FCS teams the same way again. The crowd will be big and a large number of them are going to be Cowboy fans. They have fantastic fans. One of the most fun experiences I ever had at a college football game was at Cowboy Stadium. They're fans are loud and lively (the cowbells, the Jolie Blonde dance, etc.) I hope lots of Cajun fans show up to help drown them out. One of the things that perturbs me most about games at Cajun Field is the fact that a lot of times you could hear a pin drop. It's not like that at Cowboy Stadium, and their fans are going to be just as loud here as they are at home. They've got a chance to beat an FBS team, and that's a feather in the cap (no matter how crappy the upper division team may or may not be). There's quite a bit on the line for both teams, morale wise, just based on the division classifications.

If the Cajuns don't look past the Cowboys (please, God), I know we can win this game. It will be fun, it will be tough, and it may be unpleasant at points, which is just the way the man upstairs intended college football games to be conducted. So, yeah, I'm drinkin' the kool aid. Spike mine with a little Fenroy and Desormeaux, please.

I disagree that this a make or break game for either team. Whatever the outcome of the game, neither team has played one single conference game yet. And the conference games and possible playoffs for us and bowl games for you are more important than this game. No matter which team loses, their season is not over.

I've told people before the season started that if someone told me we would be lose one of the first two games of the season and I could choose which one we would lose, I'd rather lose the game in Lafayette because a Portland St. win would mean more to us in possible playoffs seedings, etc. if we make the playoffs this season. If we lost that game it would hurt us more than if we lose to the Cajuns. Of course, I would love to win the game this Saturday.

Let's take this game and make it a fun game (and not stick our heads in the sand and try to believe (or wish) that it is not happening like some of the Cajun crowd). I plan on having a good time, before and after the game, and taking a lot of pictures despite what the outcome of the game.

Doc

P.S. I do plan on visiting CajunCharlie and his Krewe.

[AstroCajun]

Then dont lose.....

Is there a reason that you only come around when it appears things aren't going so well for the Cajuns?

Seriously, you weren't here last week when we played better than what the entire universe expected against Carolina.

I wonder, will you ever come here and give credit to the Cajuns where credit is due when it is due?

Or are you just here in an effort to make everyone just a tad more miserable?

[CajunNation]

_ Whoa Tonto... the McNeese game is absolutely the most important game in the current history/future of UL... because it is the NEXT GAME. That is it, and that is all.

It is actually TIME to pay attention to that game... but prior to 9pm yesterday... NOT. _

Nope.

This game is HUGE for Bustle's future here.

We lose this game, barring a miracle turnaround, this season is lost. Attendance will drop to nothing. Recruiting will go to cr*p again. Next season will be a long goodbye.

6 years my friend. More tools to work with than any other time in our history. People won't put up with losing to McNeese. They just won't.
