Maybe your trailer park didn't do the recruiting it had hoped.

Hats off to Tech. They were well coached and played a great game. We have our work cut out for us.

Interesting point. CUSA is probably out of the question anyway because LaTech would veto us (and plenty of good alternatives in ArkSt, USA, etc). AAC and Big 12 are simply not going to reach down to the SBC to grab a moderately successful (over the past 4 years with no real success previously) team in a small market. That being said- what is the future. If the Cajuns bounce back and win out the SBC is going back to NOLA (or Mobile) to play CUSA or MAC teams going to get Cajun fans excited and supportive year after year? How can the program build on the past three years if this year is not a big success (say there are losses at Boise and Ole Miss and then one or two losses against Ark St., USA or TxSt?). What can be done to encourage average fans (and students- the future fans) to come to support a team that is not going to be as good as the hype? I will get yelled at for asking this question- but is all the effort of "rebranding" and trying to force everyone else to drop the third L really beneficial? A reading of other Louisiana forums makes it clear that our fans are the most disliked (and laughed at) in the State. There are directional programs (UTSA, ECU, CFU for example) and schools with city names in them (Boise St, Memphis, Tulsa, Cincy for example) that seem to be building a strong programs, moving up in conference and scheduling, and which embrace their identity. I assume that the name Nazi's will be calling for my scalp for even suggesting that a refocusing of energy is called for but I do believe it is a question that should be asked.

You folks need a serious lesson in anger management...Just a game and not the end of the world, For whatever reason it was not our night....Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.

The last time I felt like this was in 07' (I believe) losing to McNeese.

This one will sting for a while!

Just a game that exposed us for who we are!

Anyone who calls what happened last night "just a game" has zero credibility going forward.

There's a huge gap between "just a game" and "the end of the world". 98% of our fans are somewhere in the middle. I can't imagine calling myself a Cajuns fan and not being in that middle. All we're doing is discussing the "whatever reason" that it wasn't our night.

I have no idea what equates to "throwing the baby out with the bath water" right now. I'm processing what I saw last night. And I'm extremely disappointed in Coach Hud and staff. This was not just "another game". That game set us back a couple of years... and created a much steeper pitch for us to climb for the rest of this year, and quite a few more to come.

We may not need to throw the baby out with the bath water, but we sure have a lot of things we do need to throw out. Seriously, no one associated with the team should feel comfortable in their positions, every player needs to be re-evaluated, every coach needs to re-examine the playbook, everything needs to get looked at because whatever we have and whatever we're doing just isn't cutting it, and won't cut it. What we saw last night, I saw a bottom of the SBC type team. Let that sink in, We look amongst the crowd of NMSU/Idaho/GSU. I think our talent is well above that, but unless changes are made, DRASTIC changes, get prepared because that very may well be our lot on life.
