I think it's fair enough to say that you're not surprised that we lost today.

apathy.....

_ I understand your point but if you want to go back to that point then let's bring it all the way back to the racism against Cajun basketball and the subsequent NCAA sanctions. There is no doubt in my mind that those events shaped much of Dr. Authment's tenure as that was one of his primary responsibilities as a new president. Right or wrong he was charged with making sure it didn't happen again. It didn't but neither did much of anything else.

I'm not sure what the answer is but I seriously doubt it rest with one person. If Bustle were a ping pong player maybe so but he is one person in the midst of over 100 that effect our performance. Maybe he is the one and only cause of our woes but I doubt it. _

Good point. The problem is where do we go from here?

_ I do not feel angry.

I do not feel like posting anything negative. I really laugh thinking about the fact that we lost to FIU today. It's a very weird feeling. I'm not upset.

I honestly think it would be a waste of time to type up a 10 paragraph long post about how I feel about UL athletics.

I am smiling while I type this... and I think I'm supposed to be ____ed off.

I think I got it out after the FAU game and I see all these angry posts.

This can't be a good thing... can it? _

I feel the same way, its almost comical. This cannot be a good thing. This is what the rest of the state thinks of us. We are a joke.
And I thought we were something. Its bad when you start to think your own team is a joke. Turbine please give me some advice you have been at this way longer than I have. What can I do?

Of course, I'm not Turbine but I can say this. I've been a Saints fan since birth and can remember sitting in a half empty Superdome watching us get our _____es handed to us on a regular basis. Now, I'm on cloud nine by the way they have been playing the past six games. Just remember. You will always be there long after the coaches are gone. That's what being a fan is all about. It's true when they say that patience is a virtue. Now, does that mean that you can accept the way things are going now? No. But remember that this is our school, and we should support it through the good AND tough times.

Cajuns suffer stunning OT loss

  MIAMI — Alarm clocks buzzed during the early morning hours Saturday in UL's rooms at Don Shula's Hotel & Golf Club before an 11 a.m. kickoff in south Florida.

After getting a major wake-up call in last week's blowout loss to Florida Atlantic, the Ragin' Cajuns teetered on disaster Saturday against Florida International and got another reality check following a 20-17 overtime loss at FIU Stadium.

UL had a chance to send it into a second overtime, but FIU defensive end Tourek Williams blocked Tyler Albrecht's 29-yard field goal attempt to end the game. The loss was the second straight for UL and a woeful start to a pivotal stretch of three straight weeks on the road.

"When our field goal team went onto the field, I just knew the defense would be ready to go back on," said UL linebacker Daylon McCoy, who had a career-high 13 tackles. "Words can't explain how much this hurts."

 MIAMI — UL's road trip to Florida was a homecoming for almost two dozen of its current players.

The Ragin' Cajuns have 20 natives of Florida on their active roster. Only Troy (28), Middle Tennessee (27) and Michigan (21) have more players from the state among non-Florida schools in the Bowl Subdivision.

In fact, the Cajuns have had 34 players from Florida on their roster dating back to 2001. That includes five starters from Saturday's game against Florida International — cornerbacks Dwight Bentley and Orkeys Auriene, right tackle Jonathan Decoster and defensive end Terrell Richardson.

now we play again 2 on the road and 2 at home, but this time it is against the Sunbelt BEST...........what are we going to do Bustle?????

The majority of Bustles teams have tailed off the 2nd half of the season, WHY?


If Bustle and company tailspin again this season, I WILL NOT BUY SEASON TICKETS IF THIS ADMINISTRATION KEEPS HIM HERE NEXT SEASON!!!!!!!!!!

I like Bustle the person but it is over with me and many I know as a Coach. We have had two home and two away games against the 4 worst teams in the belt and went 2-2, now 2 road and 2 home against the best, LET's SEE BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD!!!!!!

Knowing Bustle he will beat the good teams. Can't believe we lost to FIU.

Welcome to being a Cajun fan. We love the school and its teams and we are happy as can be when they win. I almost expect to lose every game. Sad state of affairs. When I heard we lost I just kind of shrugged it off. We deserve better but this is it.
