_ I suppose after we adopt an optimistic, positive ourlook?

Which, I would guess, is why it is also known as a "winner's attitude". _

Ourlook? We have a losers attitude. Making an excuse for everything under the sun. Pulling rainbows out of crushing defeats is killing this program. I fear the best days of Cajun football are well behind us. We need to get a coach that brings excitement to the program. Right now beating ASU, Troy, MT or McNeese would be an upset. BUSTLE IS A BUST AND A LOSER!

_ That's Derrick Smith, our senior WR. Surprising that he showed a lack of class like that. Then again, it's hard to keep composure getting stomped. _

I doubt the fans were telling him that he was having a good game and other nice things like that. I'm sure they were letting him have an ear full. If you sit on the student side at our games and talk trash to the other team you will see the same thing most of the time. No big deal to me.

[CajunCanaille]

We very well may have shown that we have the worst defense in the country tonight. I bought the game on the internet and I think Bustle and the defense combined should have to reimburse everyone that paid to get the stream. I know it was the first game but the defense looked far worse than any defense I have ever seen wearing a Cajun uni.

[RCAJUN90]

_ Apparently you haven't followed Cajun football in the Bustle era. He is an embarrassment to our program. The only thing he has ever done is let Michael Vick takes snaps and run wild. He can't coach, he can't motivate, and he can't make commercials! _

I've been spared his commercials but I agree he can't coach. Perhaps we should get a real head coach next year?

[GoEagles]

_ Some of us are such great losers. USM did exactly what they were suppose to. Be good hosts and kick our butts. When will we figure this out? _

Thanks for the props guys. I'm not going to gloat, because we'll probably be in your shoes this time next week. Good luck for the rest of the season, and good luck with Gustav. Stay safe!

Trash talk is meant before the game...i like the convo with all your fans. Dont be a stranger feel free to stop by anytime. good luck the rest of the way!

_ Who picked us to finish at the bottom of CUSA? Maybe a SunBelt homer. _

I think that USM will win it all inCUSA----the only vulnerable areas are qb inexperience and the dbs got beat deep a few times---I hope ya'll can win out---the only thing that we can brag on!!!!!!! One of the finest running backs i HAVE SEEN IN PERSON!!!!

The adminatration comes up with $500,000 and backers $750,000 we might have a few come calling.

7 years into the "Ricky Bustle Era", and the Ragin Cajuns give up 427 rushing yards and only manage 131 passing yards in a losing effort to a Conferance USA opponent. Defensively, we are inept and soft. Offensively, we are horribly one dimentional and predictable. 7 years in, and Ricky Bustle has done nothing to change the losing landscape of our school. UL Lafayette is the dormat of the Sun Belt Conference, and realistically is one of the 5 worst-performing FBS programs. It's time for something to change, definitely. For a school that has the second-largest enrollment in the state of Louisiana, the perfomance over the past 7 years has been totally unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Louisiana Tech defeats SEC opponent Mississippi State and Arkansas State defeats Big 12 opponent Texas A&M. What are these programs doing that we are not?

I asked my fellow co-worker the same question. It seems that with the departure of Des and Fenroy, next year would make a suitable new coaching year. Cajuns fans we must keep treading water, it can only get better from here.

At least I hope?!?!

_ Word is a concussion! _

That's what I heard but I wasn't sure. I saw 32 and 33 kept rotating throughout the game.

I'm sure there were things said to him later in the game, but I was on the 2nd row of the student section. He was flipping the students off during the run out when all they were doing is booing. I hate to know what he was doing when they were harrassing him lol. I don't care, I mean I'm sure there are players from every team that do crap like that. I just thought it was funny it only took some booing not even something nasty to cause him to do that.

[PR_Eagle]

Just wait till our students fully take advantage of that pathway the opposing teams have to run out BYX. Things could get nasty.
