Buffalo

Buffalo beat Ball State last night to win the MAC and go to a bowl game. Buffalo was the worse team in college football for a number of years and Turner Gill came in and turned things around in, I believe, 3-4 years. It can be done. UL still hasn't done anything in 7 years, but we are getting very close. Hopefully a bowl game this year. Next year, we could be better than this year. At least we had better be or we'll have a losing season. We should have too much talent for that. I want Bustle to succeed because that means UL succeeded. Success is not a one season wonder. We need to repeat next year and thereafter. This is our first major step. A bowl game and a win will do wonders for recruiting and local support. Next year will be the key to Bustle's future. I hope this year is the start of a long, successful tenure at UL for Bustle that sort of parallel's VA Tech's coach.

We will have to see. We are losing alot of seniors, will have a new QB, and are losing the #1 RB in the nation.

_ We will have to see. We are losing alot of seniors, will have a new QB, and are losing the #1 RB in the nation. _

We are losing only 13 seniors. We are losing one of the smallest senior classes in the nation. But we are losing very important seniors at key positions.

Of the 13 about 8 are big to medium losses: Dez, Fenroy, Chery and then Keyes, Jones, Edmiston, Coleman, and DBs Scooter and Justin counted as 1.

Additionally, we lose Vance, Smith, Rubin and Roberson.

Great post, I too would love to see Bustle and company be very successful at UL as this would as you said mean Louisiana has turned the corner and become a year in and year out mid major top contender!!! Next step would be a BCS bowl!!!???

But to people that don't follow college football religiously (90% of the country), Buffalo beat an undefeated BCS buster on a national stage.
