We are in the Bustle II Era

[CajunRage]

_ Before the beginning of this season, just what exactly were our expectations? We knew Fenroy, Des and Cherry had moved on and were faced with a schedule playing three BCS schools and an improved Sunbelt. So... after ten games into the season, we still have a chance for 7-5. Who'd have thunk that? We lost two games that we should have won (Florida games), but won two games we should have lost (KSU and ASU).

Had we just WON at FIU.....................

Anyway, my point is that we are about where many of us thought we would be.

No, we are not healthy right now, just like last year at this point in the season. But if we can find a way to win shorthanded on the road at ASU, we can certainly do the same at home against ULM. They're not exactly healthy either. _

It is not how we perform compared to pre-season expectations. It is the way we are playing from game to game. Just because we beat KSU and stAte doesn't mean you have a get out of jail free card with FAU and FIU. I have watched and/or listened to every game this season and it is ABSOLUTELY EVIDENT that Bustle and his staff do not make adjustments at half time. We have gotten out-coached in the second half of 4 straight games. A buddy of mine said it and it is true. Barring the Southern game, we could easily have lost every other game this year. Bustle got us out of the gutter. Thank you Ricky! But now it is time to move in another direction.

Regardless of our expectations going into this season he shoukd be fired for having a bad season. Some people did think he woukd get to 6 wins, others thought 4 but some of those same people said that if he doesnt win 7 or go to a bowl game he should be sent packing. With the debacle of keeping pathetic bball coaches around i doubt very much he gets fired. Our admin needs to step up bc this crap will just continue on into next season.

Looks like a lot of us are satisfied with low expectations

Not low expectations, just realistic. no pie in the sky.

Do you think any great programs or great athletes just went for "realistic"? No they went for that "pie in the sky" and were not satisfied till they got it.

We didn't win more than 6 games with Desormeaux, Fenroy, and Chery and they were playmakers. So that argument doesn't hold water. The Sunbelt will continue to improve and either we improve along with it or we will be a bottom of the conference team. It is time to quit justifying mediocrity and call a spade a spade.

I'm almost willing to take an "L" for the next 2 just to see him go, sad day when I think two home games are worth the sacrifice, but that's what it has come to. I've never had this much lack of excitement with our team at this point in the season, but the homecoming game just did me in, Bustle has to go, it is all business, the product he brings has reached it's limit, thanks for what you have brought us to, nothing personnal, but time to move on....winning 5 games next year with an exciting new head coach with some promise is better than what we have to look forward to with Bustle....

Come on AD make a statement in our "hungry for a winner" community, we have the money to support you, you build it we will come!!

5 wins and he should go. However, I had to chuckle at your lack of excitement this late in the season comment. When did you start watching....2002? If we somehow win these next 2 it will be our best season in over 15 year. Even if we don't win it will be better than most seasons we have had.

This year has been tough because there is no continuity. One week we play well on D and win, the next we get blown out, after that we play well on O but the D lets us down. There is nothing to hang your hat on with this team.

I think the obit of this season will be: The team that could never put it together.

For the size of this university, the size of this area, and the money in this town, we are grossly underacheiving......... _

You are right,"with the money in this town" and no one is willing to GIVE TO THE RCAF.

That is me preaching again. NUMBERS GUYS, we need RCAF members and donations to be successful. Put all things aside and let's start doing something about it.

GEAUX CAJUNS.

Glad you said almost.

For me it is much more important for long term success to have non losing seasons or better on the UL resume than to allow slash and burn tactics to get a desired (but not guaranteed) results.
