I agree with the suck it hoax part.... but the arrogance of we will be bowling and have a better record is what we got to get past... We have done NOTHING , REPEAT NOTHING to crow about. We just might be the 5th best team in the state behind lswho, laturd, SLU or HOAX, and who knows, Mcleast? And before anyone jumps on me just look at this years results before you put on vermilion colored glasses and say everything is perfect
We are 1-1 with 10 games left. You are basing all this on one game. I get it, we laid an egg Saturday and are not where we thought we were but we are NOT the 5th best team in the state and we WILL be bowling. Don't jump off the cliff after one game and please don't give me this crap about ULM, SLU and McNeese being a better team then us because they are not. We have plenty of time to get our ____ together.
Monroe beat an ACC team two weeks ago. McNeese came within a TD on the road at Nebraska. Sounds like some games need to be won before we start saying those two teams are not better than us. Hopefully something is shown the next two weeks too renew faith.please don't give me this crap about ULM, SLU and McNeese being a better team then us because they are not.
I am not saying those two schools are not playing well right now but I am not ready to anoint them anything until the end of the season. I am a firm believer in that it's not where you start it is where you finish. Both of these schools seem to do well early in the season and play pretty well against bigger competetion and then dwindle down towards the end of the season. Since Hud has been here we have never played well early in the season but seem to kick it up a notch towards the end and win bowl games while ULM is sitting at home and Mcneese is losing in a first round playoff game. We have a good team and I still have confidence that we will get our ____ together and still have a really good season.
Too many times people in this state have anointed teams as the heir apparent to LSU only to have it all crumble. ULM after beating Alabama, ULM after beating Arkansas, La Tech in 2012, etc. I know our team doesn't have the sexy wins, or the top 25 rankings...but we have been competitive over the last three years. Not up and down with sexy wins and baffling losses. They always say the tortoise beats the hare. The slow steady plodding pace will always beat the sprinting pace.
And I expect that from clueless people around the state who the only time they worry about a ULM or McNeese is when they upset someone like that, but it baffles me that some people on this board think that way as well.
I am not delusional, I know we are not playing great football right now but we have ten games left and wouldn't trade our "tortoise" status for a win over an SEC school and then going 4-8...I know we will have to get some signiture wins and we will but we are building something here that no other school in the state is building and that is way more important than almost beating Nebraska or beating Wake Forest in my opinion. We need to stay focused on that for this athletic programs vision.
Not only that, schools like mcneese and app state are capable of these kinds of game because they are used to winning. Winning year in and year out does wonders for players phsyc and confidence. They didn't go to Lincoln to just collect a check and go home, they went to win...something the lower level FBS teams lack. I think thats a main reason why they win or compete when they play FBS schools. It doesnt mean they are better than those teams or us. They can't win the southland conference and can't get out of the first round of the playoffs.
Like I said before, let's not judge schools until the season is over, the we can all panick
Girls, girls, girls.
Just noticed CBS crawl for today's game says Louisiana vs Ole Miss. That's progress. And looks good, too.
