Another bowl win would put UL in unique group

Did the Advocate change the way in which they refer to our school?

I love Foote's take on this.

So to the last 3 posters, you are upset with where our program is at this point?

Not even sort of what I said. I'm happy with the program, but we are not following the ballsy approach that we did the first season under Hud.

I love Foote's take on this.

-------And I do too T-Bine---I think Jay and I had us going 7-5 or 8-4 before the year started and I think what Gerald Broussard said the other night what the truth is----I think it becomes very hard for some to understand how hard it is to win a game---the game of football with its rules, talent, coaching, MATCH UPS, AND OUTSIDE PERIPHERAL MAKE UP just create a very unpredictable setting---maybe why people bet on the games!!! lol

OK, crazy and njustice. You guys were more civil than express, but both of your comments have been posted over and over on numerous threads. Why can't one thread on this board actually be about accomplishments of our teams. Hell, I think there was even some critiquing of the baseball team when they finished the regular season ranked #1 in the country. Everyone who reads this board knows we sucked against 4 teams this year. We also beat 8.

Want to stand apart from others in G5? We have the opportunity to do so on Dec 20. Only 2 other teams in the G5 conferences have ever won 36 games in a 4 year stretch. Think about that for a second.

Edit: BTW, the closest we've ever come to 36 wins in 4 years was from 86-89 and 93-96. Those were 25 win stretches....

you are FOS, show me 1 other post where i have said that..besides where i have said it over and over. im th eone calling people out all the excuses of not supporting the team. Dont lump me in with "everyone" i think we would have possibly seen th etype o fyear everyone was esxpecting if hud would coach with the "nothing to lose" mentality he had when he got here. So far he has coached that way in every bowl game, if he does that again, i think we win. If we have a bland and vanilla approach I think we will lose.

I see teams like East Carolina, that we beat in NO Bowl, getting wins against big schools like Virginia Tech, North Carolina, etc. and I have to wonder why haven't we made that kind of progress? Why can't we get the "Big" win?

I'm not disappointed in the season, or the way the team turned it around after the 1-3 start, but would like to see us making steps forward and not staying at the same level.

Before the 2014 college football season began, the hopes of some fans for the UL Ragin’ Cajuns were extremely high.

There was talk of 12-0, or at least 10-2, and going to a more prestigious bowl.

Then came the 1-3 start and depression set in.

I basically agree. HOWEVER, if you accept this logic then you have to acknowledge that the SBC is not the same league that it was 4 years ago. Does "treading water" in a league in decline mean that your program has not digressed? Replace NMSU with WKU and GSU with MTSU and I doubt that we get to 8 wins.

So are we happier being 5-7 and beating Boise?

I'll take 8-4 every year myself.
