Bigbuf, you could have saved a ton of key strokes by just typing your obligatory "that's not how we do things here"
This is what it boils down to... we have individuals in our fan base. We have individuals on this fan forum. Let the individuals be themselves. We all belong. Some will be pessimistic by nature and some are eternal optimists. Enjoy the forum. Say what you want and pay the price. I am completely content to pay my price. I don't give unless I can take. Who among you has such a fragile ego that you can't even banter on a semi anonymous fan forum?
Grow a pair! If you're a man and cannot joust, you didn't completely fill out yet.
Even if someone pizzes me off on this forum... I'm still laughing. There isn't a guy on here that if you physically jacked with me, that I won't crack your jaw in half or won't rip ____ off of you trying. But would I?... over this silly stuff?
Grow a pair and enjoy your options. This, my dear friends, is an option. If you want to see suffering, I'll bring you where you can't option out. Quit being so damn wimpy!
And as for Hud... quit being teenage girls! He says stuff he shouldn't and he makes mistakes. He makes mistakes coaching too! He isn't perfect. He is PAID to be criticized! If I pointed out something dumb being done by Nick Saban, I wouldn't hear a peep out of you. You're being a silly girl defending Hud at every turn, or any coach (or administrator) at UL. Grow up!
We're better not only because you flower girls love our coaches long time. We are also better for those of us with a chisel looking to chip more defects off of the masterpiece! It all works together. Grow up!
Now... join together in one force against the Green Pukes!!! Geaux Cajuns!
Geez gents ( and possibly a lady or 2), let's all take a breath. Look the loss to the hoax blows because it is the hoax. Our guys played with a lack of ddetail and still had a chance to win. Losing to South Al. sucked because it cost us an outright championship.
The fans were upset, Coach was upset....that's football.
I don't have a problem with Hud ' s post game. It's understandable. No explanation for it is needed. Anyone who thinks that the program is not headed in the right direction probably hasn't been with The University for very long.
While I do think we have things to work on, I have to believe that we will need to prepare ourselves, as fans, for the occasional bump in the road.
Be annoyed if you want. Be upset if it makes you feel better. But remember where we were just a few years ago.
Hold fast! Paint it Red! And just win baby!
I know...it's silly of me to think, like Z has point out, that anything will change on this board. You have a few guys that are optimists, like me, and many more pessimists and experts on the game of football and fans bases. Then there is the obligatory I'll crack your jaw in half, but I won't because I just love you so much...oh and the grow a pair line. All in the effort to ensure that the board stays in line.
They are right about one thing though...no one needs to defend HUD. He is perfectly capable of sifting through the BS all by himself.
Although I prefer a more disciplined and calmer demeanor under pressure, HUD is similar to many other coaches when things go bad ... they lose control and rant ... not that uncommon.
And if HUD can't handle the pressure and fans in the Sun Belt, then things will only get worst if he ever has the opportunity as a head coach in the Big 5 conferences.
Mack Brown at Texas is an example of a coach who has handled the fan and competitive pressure in poor seasons extremely well and has seldom embarrassed his university with his words and actions.
You got it mostly right, but a coach chiding fans is never, ever a smart move.
