If the Sun Belt would have considered ULM eligible for a conference championship, would we then have won the 3 way tie?
I'm not sure if we all had overlapping victories against each other, such as 2005, what the next step would be to break the tie, but if you look at points scored by each team against conference opponents, we had that head up against ULM and ASU.

I can't wait to watch 30,000 watch the Snare Drum Express at the 1000th game.
'Snare Drum' a nickname I can spell with the letters in Desormeaux-Fenroy . . .
I agree! I'm not taking anthing away from that game this past Saturday. It was fantastic. But, it is not the BIG win I'm looking for. I want more! I want there to be no doubt. When we win BIG, it will be first, the game that propels us to a Bowl game. Then, the next BIG win, is winning a Bowl game!. THAT WILL BE BIG! Until those goals are met, all wins with Coach Bustle are nice, fun, exciting, great and are meaningful, etc, but will lack that punch that makes it "The Biggest win of the Bustle Era!"
I also hope that one day, we will have many to debate over which win is his biggest, but I haven't seen it yet.
Geaux UL!
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from. I think this is about the biggest win in the Bustle era SO FAR. To this point in time. Obviously any win that clinches a championship and a bowl berth is far bigger, but we haven't gotten there yet. I have to say that, in my view, this last game is the biggest one for Bustle SO FAR. I say that based on the importance of the game and the injury situation. There was a lot of pressure on the team and coaching staff to win this game. It was basically a "must win" game in the scheme of this year's SBC race. In the past, we've usually fallen flat in such circumstances. This was a BIG win. Having said that, any let down in the games leading up to the Troy game will likely undo the importance of the Arkansas State win.
I'd like to share my pictures from the ASU game on Saturday that I took.

It should be the first album listed.
Good pics, mind if I save a few of the ones of the band?
When it mattered most, UL got contributions from some unexpected sources in last week's thrilling comeback victory over Arkansas State.
Running back Tyrell Fenroy made the biggest statistical impact in the 28-23 win, rushing for 128 of the team's 189 yards. The senior scored on a 9-yard run with 42 seconds left to put the Ragin' Cajuns up for good.
"The team faced some adversity," Fenroy said. "But we made the plays on offense and defense to be able to come back."
And a handful of those plays were made by some of UL's lesser-known players in a critical game that kept the Cajuns (4-3 overall, 3-0 Sun Belt) tied atop the league standings with Troy.

UL quarterback Brad McGuire cringed more than a couple times earlier this week when he first watched film of Saturday's 28-23 win over Arkansas State.
McGuire - making his first career start as starter Mike Desormeaux nursed a sprained right knee - threw two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. But the redshirt freshman led the Ragin' Cajuns (4-3 overall, 3-0 Sun Belt) on two scoring drives in the final 4:16 to remain tied atop the league standings with Troy.
Despite those last-minute heroics, McGuire saw plenty of things he needed to improve, especially on the zone-read option. He passed for 106 yards and two interceptions and ran 27 times for 54 yards and two scores against the conference's top run defense and scoring defense.
