Will we WIN, I do not know. I hope we win, I will support them through these tuff times and later in the glory days(hoping they are here in my lifetime) Saints fans are the greatest as they may have at one(1) time dawned bags of embarrassment, but they are still there none the same. They are true FANS, and some of us could take a good lesson from them.

Make a difference, be there till the end of season, see how it all falls out!!

Atta boy, Daddy Cajun....I'll see you there....in the good times and the bad!!!

[Cayenne Eyeman]

My man, you are more than welcome to come by and partake! I, unfortunately will be back in Tuscaloosa. I'll run in Thursday morning to watch my sons game that night, but will be heading back shortly thereafter. No escaping this one, work beckons!
Look for Hammer, Vo, CajunFun, Guru...they should all be there. They will welcome you with open arms!

_ Myself and wife will be there in support of the program and the kids that give it there all week in and week out. Never give up.......NEVER GIVE UP!!! _

You got that right. True fans do not abandon ship nor would they start a tread titled this. I realize everyone needs to vent, and we're all frustrated, but negative comments is not what this team needs right now. I wish I had the answer just like everyone else on how to fix this. All I can do is come to games, cheer on the Cajuns, and remind myself that good things are yet to come.

Amen, sister! Gotta be tough being a parent of a player. Hang tough!

Blasted work...eating and providing for the young 'uns is highly over rated!!! Would liked to have visited with you, but I'll toast you in your absence (or is that get toasted in your absence). I'll look up Hammer, Vo, et. al. We'll holler 2X as loud for you.

Have a great week!!!

I think what was started as a negative or questionable thread has turned into the AMEN corner...looks like there are lots of loyal Cajun fans out there...Keep your heads up Cajun fans and come home for Homecoming!!! Keep those positive posts coming, too!

I'll see you at the SWAMP!!!

CRM...As I understand it, you are the mother of a current or former player, and it is with that in mind that I say this with all due respect.

we are not at liberty to question how each of us deals with this situation. I am not directing most of this at you, but at several folks on this board. Some will say, like you have, that if you are overly critical of the situation, then you are not a true fan. Others will say (i.e. I Hate La State) that if you aren't critical enough, then you are not a true fan. Both arguments are short sided because each of us have different personalities and different involvements with the program. I would suspect that someone like you, or MissingMandy, GBBaseball, or other parent's of players, would sympathize with the players more than others, because they work hard and go through a lot of hell in order to wear that name on their jersey's. then there are guys around here that are older...they've been through a lot with this program, and have somewhat desensitized themselves to all the bad times, but are still able to stay hopeful in that their loyalty will pay off one day. Some of those are still preaching the positives, some are getting restless. then you have the younger guys. Guys like me and SRevere51 (we went to high school together, trust me, he is a fan and meant nothing derogatory to the players by starting this thread). We don't have a child on the team, so we might not care about the stuff they go through on a daily basis. and, we are young enough and progressive enough to desire much more from a program with so much potential. We didn't experience the Death Penalty. We didn't experience all the crap from authement and Shexnayder. Perhaps we don't know any better. Perhaps we are naive. But, we are confident that by speaking out and making our voices and our discontent heard, that we will influence a change.

there are some of us in each of these groups of fans that have dealt with this situation both calmly and hastily. But the common denominator is that we are all fans. We all want the answer. We all want the guys to get their recognition, but we also all want wins. Some of us are more concerned that the players know that they are supported and will continue to attend the games. On the other hand, some of us would rather boycott the games in hopes that improvements are made.

Again, CRM, this is not directed exclusively at you, so I hope that I don't offend you, but its directed at everyone. there's no need for us to take runs at each other questioning each others commitment to this football team. We all have our opinions and feelings.

BUT, I WILL ASK THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME ON THIS BOARD AND SAY THE COACH SHOULD BE FIRED, THEN PLACE A CALL TO THE POWERS THAT BE (AUTHEMENT, WALKER, FARMER, BUSTLE), AND IF YOU FEEL THAT THE COACH SHOULD BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE, THE PLACE A CALL TO THE POWERS THAT BE (AUTHEMENT, WALKER, FARMER, BUSTLE).

THIS IS OUR TEAM AND WE SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP IN IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HOW ITS BEING DONE, THEN STEP UP AND DEMAND CHANGE. TAKING SHOTS AT EACH OTHER WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING, BUT MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD WILL!!!!!

As rhineaux has stated, we did go to school together, and we know each other pretty well. usually we are the last ones in the stands looking for an answer. I have not missed a home game in just under 8 years, I have traveled to many away games as well.

Just so you know, I usually buy extra tickets to each and every home game so that we have more paid attendance. No matter what anyone says, this was an embarrasment to this university how we were manhandled last week. It may be to be destroyed by a major program, but a team like ASU no matter how good they are, we should at least compete. The poll is out to strike up opinions of different fans and hopefully we can all take a stand and demand more for our school. Like Rhineaux, I have e-mailed my opinions of the coaching staff and how our university and our community deserves more.

I will agree with you in the fact that negative comments are not what the team needs. However, no matter what people on this board may say there is nothing more negative then for homecomming then having few fans show up.

I will be in the stands like everyother week, with the same attitude, I still believe.

Now that, brother, deserves a BIG AMEN!!!!

I'll have you know that I fired Baldwin 27 times, and even burned an effigy of him knowing full well that would do him in... didn't do it. It wasn't until I told the Admin that I would not purchase one more tasty snack from the concession stand, nor tap my toe to one more rendition of "RESPECT". They caved to my pressure and canned him the next week. Action son... action.
