Not sure I like the quote at the end....."Someone has to pay"

That scares me.

Bustle and the team needs to read this, and know how fired up Troy is going to be for this game..................................................or it could be a REALLY LONG NIGHT!

_ Maybe Burkhaulter is ready to come back. I think he still has 3 chances left on the "Southall Scale". _

Burkhalter ____ed hot three times in the span of 5 weeks. Southall never did anything like that while he was here.

Anyone read this yet???? This is bulletin board material. This should fire us up! We should get fired up just from how fired up they are going to be!!!

  With UL's football team mired in a two-game losing streak, wide receiver Jason Chery offered his solution to getting back on track. The senior plans on using the approach this week as the Cajuns travel to play at Troy on Saturday in a matchup of Sun Belt co-leaders.

The winner of the 6 p.m. showdown between UL (5-5 overall, 4-1 Sun Belt) and the Trojans (6-4, 4-1) will earn at least a share of the conference championship.

A win would make the Cajuns bowl eligible. The loser will likely see its Sun Belt title aspirations come to an end barring some help in the final week of the regular season.

If the Cajuns beat Troy this week and Middle Tennessee on Dec. 3, they will earn their first outright league title and bowl berth since 1970.

  TROY -- Troy's collapse Saturday night at LSU kept biting the Trojans on their trip home.

As the team rolled back dejectedly toward campus, reminders of its agonizing 40-31 loss kept coming, ironically, in the form of congratulatory phone calls.

Some friends, satisfied that Troy's 31-3 third-quarter lead was enough, switched off the game. As midnight approached, they called players to offer their compliments, only to find out that LSU had rallied to win.

"Every time someone called, I had to relive it," offensive lineman Chris Jamison said. "Luckily, my phone battery ran out, so I could just sit and think about it.

Our scoreboard read "LaTech" instead of LaTex. We always respect our visiting opponents and fans unless they give reasons not to.

Old Reality Check is a pistol. He fancies himself an all knowing, all seeing mystery man, standing at the ready like all the other name police....at a moments notice, ready to pull out the UL system rule of law. In "reality" he's just a guy just like you and me..... cept we are fans of "The University of Louisiana"

LOL! Is he also the BBU Cowboy fan who was going to report us all to the Texas Attorney General's Office? I can visualize that complaint being filed.

"Hello General, there's a bunch of them there Ragin' Cajun fans calling themselves "UL" and "Louisiana". We here good ole boys want the quietus interuptness put all over this here unAmerican activity NOW. Come back to me, good buddy, 10-4."

"We're all over it, old buck. I'm a sendin' in the Rangers to clear' em out. Hold tight and I'll be back atcha."

Sounds like an investiagtion for Sheriff Buford T. Justice.

well ladies and gentlemen, the time has arrived. we blew a huge lead over LSU and embarressed ourselves a bit. I mean, yes, we embarressed the Tigers worse, but still...we should have won that game.

Now comes the match-up i've been fearing all year; Troy vs. Louisiana. I am in a wedding saturday, so i will have to listen to the game during the ceremony (oh yeah, it's that serious). Our Trojans are p*ssed to say the least, and looking for someone to take out all that aggression on. Your Cajuns are in the hunt for their first (?) title and hungry for a trip to New Orleans. This is going to be a clash of Sun Belt titans. here's to a great game, some great tailgating, and both of our teams going to great bowls. I wish all of you safe travels and an enjoyable experience in Troy. I wish I could be there, this kills me that I can't. Let's give the Sun Belt a game to remember!

Go Troy!
Go 'Belt!

it really was aweful. coach blakeney said it best, "it was the highest and lowest emotional points of his football coaching career." well, the trojan nation feels the same way. i had ordered the ppv, had friends over, and a few "adult beverages" downed. the 31-3 lead was like extasy, i was litterally jumping and screaming in my living room. then the wheels fell off. holy crap what a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible 4th quarter. the company left immediately after the game. my wife could not console me, i was beside myself with anger and dissapointment. the only thing that kept me from putting a pistol in my mouth was the Titans win over Jacksonville on Sunday, and that was a come from behind (wanna talk about anxiety? lol).

i don't know if UL has ever had to go through something like that. we dominated LSU in every way, and then...blah. oh well, my nerves, and my heart, will be healed if we make it to a bowl.

Don't know about anyone else but the wife and I are going to be in Troy to support these fine young men. Anyone else?
