The Book 2008 Football

[Damon]

Here's a brief list of things I will refuse to discuss until we get a new coaching staff or win 3 in a row:

• Comparisons to Frank Beamer
• Reminiscing on Jake Delhomme and/or the "OMG TEXAS A&M GAME!!"
• Our Logo
• Our suited mascot
• Our Band
• The DJ
• The color of the cement wall surrounding the playing field
• The indoor practice field
• Billboards with other teams on them
• LSU and/or "OMG THEY'RE STEALING OUR FUNDING $$$"
• Our athletic budget
• Buying out contracts
• Louie Cook
• Field lighting
• Fan participation
• Conference membership and/or changing conferences
• The 2005 1-5 start (edit, for TuffGuy)

Why? Because, none of the things we lament over, fought for, hope for, or complain about have any impact on the field of play. If you mean to tell me that ANY of the above leads to our current record and the state of this football team, I would tell you to pass the drugs. Every team in this conference has jumped over our stagnant level of "excellence."

The talent is not getting developed.
The gameplan is not good.
The production is horrible.
The kool-aid is rotten.

Loser-ana at Laugh-at, indeed.

I have been holding judgment so far this year, but I think I've now made mine.

Flush this fecal coaching staff.

621 yards of offense, 9 shy of the school record... and not done yet. We are handing USM their largest offensive performance in their history, with a new HC, in their opening game of the season.

Gee, after this, I get to concentrate on Gustav. This is just great.

At least the Southern Miss fans have been great. Very hospitable and hopefully we can return the favor in Lafayette one day.

Seriously what positives can you even take away from this game?

[wcd35]

Amen, sign me up. The only good thing we will have is celebrating the best running back ever at our school. And thanking him for putting up with a losing team for most of those years. Fenroy deserves better!

Our uniforms look good. I see another terrible season. Oh well perhaps before we all die we will see a good Cajun football team again. Very sad.

It really is sad we are wasting the best RB we have ever had. The worst thing is next year should be a rebuilding year.

I can think of one, it's over.........

A rebuilding year? What has Bustle built?

[CajunBoudin]

I predicted a multiple touchdown defeat and it happened. I said the defense was small (a few here mocked me) and people were dreaming if they thought there would be marked improvement.

There have been suggestions here that we are talented and that the new players would make a difference.

Who are these new players that had everyone so excited? A bunch of Louisiana All-State selections? Prospects with a bunch of stars after their names on Scout and Rivals? All those kids we beat decent mid-major programs out for? You mean those athletes?

The answer,

They DO NOT EXIST!

Bustle must be fired and he can take that pathetic recruiting coordinator with him. We are getting are butts handed to us in humiliating fashion because this staff continues to ignore Louisiana prospects and make excuses for why they cant sign the ones that would be making a difference right now.

Guess what, Derek Dooley with his big salary and his well paid assistant coaches just beat Miss. St. of the SEC. That's right, beat the guy who was SEC coach of the year last year.

How about some new season predictions now that we are all on the same level of reality and crashed from our off-season stupor of believing everything we read in the local paper and what Baghdad Bob feeds us in the afternoon on 1420.

[SpreadEagle]

Yeah, you're right. Our tiny little players against your mighty, pseudo-BSC caliber behemoths. We have NO chance to even make it a close game. What WERE we thinking??? That's my prediction, USM - 48, UL - 8. Solid as a rock!

See ya Saturday! Let the games begin!!!

LOL!!! Well, you knew more about the game than I did. I thought it was going to be close. Like I said, history said that your team would be in for a long night and once again history repeated itself. I must admit I was amazed at the number of Cajun fans that took offense to USM fans predicting a blowout, because that is what it has been before. Also I told you that you would be facing the best running back you would see this year. Fletch is awesome.

Time for you guys to step up and make a coaching change. Bustle is a joke. I would hire Jeff Bower tomorrow. Anyway, good luck the rest of the year. Based on what ASU did tonight against the Aggies, you are going to need it. USM plays ASU at their house in two weeks and that will be a hard game to get a win for my Eagles.

Now to the important stuff. I hope and pray all of you down in Cajun land are fine after this storm hits. God Bless and good luck.

Forgot to add, Arkansas St. just beat Texas A&M while we were out losing to a team with a new coach, very few returning starters and that's picked to finish at the bottom of C-USA.
