Bustle!!!

[zephyr]

_ Alright then, you can have Bustle, because he apparently makes some people here feel like real fans.
I was in Troy this weekend and I know what I saw, and I will be there for Middle Tennessee. I just do not understand your apathy towards the situation, did you see what I saw on Saturday? Where you there? Putting the 3rd string QB in after the third quarter in what was pretty much a conference championship. Come on, I don't care if you are losing, you don't do that to seniors!
Please make an effort to understand our frustration. _

then you are the minority as of late because many here have been calling for the likes of McGuire and Masson(yes, even the third string freshman) to see some more PT because as they say " what will it hurt?". I agree with you but you constantly have to answer why Bustle would leave Des in rather than "try" the freshmen.

So that we don't look like a bunch of quitters.

_ Look everyone is frustrated, but the things yall are writing are rediculous. Have we been a winning team ever? Come on, yall are acting like we win all the time. We are all going to see who the real Cajun fans are on Dec. 3! Every body is already off the band wagon, but that goes to show you what type of fans we are! Maybe we need NEW fans! _

When I came back from Nam in 70, we went to Grantland Rice Bowl, our only bowl and a winning season. 4 years later, we lost all our games and fired Russ.

You think that didn't hurt us students, players and those close to the program.

Yes, Rickey has not always made the right choses, but where would we have been if we kept Baldwin? Where would we be this year if we hadn't had all the injuries.

For now, they need all our support. Lets win Wed. possible go to a bowl and if the chance happens, play the players who will lead us next year.

Thank you for your service to our country. At some point you do need to fire people. I do believe however the first change has to come from the president and that is to get serious about football. Without that you can put Ditka, Bear Bryant etc... as the head coach and it will not matter. We need Dr. Savoie to come out and say football is a top priority and then start to get the funding we need.

_ I think Bustle was grasping for straws at that point.

I dont think Bustle was "grasping for straws". Des was our only offense that night. Then all of a sudden he is out the game for a freshman that was not "prepared" enough to play in a game that meant nothing.

I remember seeing Masson in the game but at that time it was a lost cause. So your premise that Bustle wasn't grasping at straws is correct. I think he was just giving some kids time to play at that point. You really can't blame Bustle for all the injuries. You can blame him for not having a plan B,C, or D. Perhaps he has all these plans just not for such a massive melt down. People have noted that he is under contract till 2011. If that is true then it doesn't matter and who knows maybe he will get it together soon. He had us looking like supermen but injuries and just perhaps the other teams catching on stopped us in on tracks. Our offense was not hard to figure out. It was either Des or Fenroy that would end up with the ball and Chery on occasion. Oh well they gave us some fun in November. I wish the seniors well.
