Parrott Blog: Bustle to return in 2010.

[gridiron]

_ It's not the coach's fault we don't win, it's the recruiting? WHO THE F* DO YOU THINK RECRUITS THE FREAKIN SCRUB WIDE RECEIVERS AND TAILBACKS WE HAD THIS YEAR?! Rickey Bustle is a freaking joke and I'm sick of it. I'll go tailgate next year but I will not go into the games. _

Green Aubrye and Falgout are not scrubs. Lack of depth and not getting enough opportunities is one thing but scrubs is just wrong. I know the dropped passes were upsetting but the guys I mention did not drop passes.

WHO DO YOU THINK RECRUITS THE FREAKIN SCRUB WIDE RECEIVERS AND TAILBACKS WE HAD THIS YEAR?!

The same folks who recruited Fenroy, des, and cherry...just sayin

_ I can think of at least 1 each at each of those schools and I don't follow recruiting as close as others do.

I'll help the Boom out.

Phillip Livas plus the other 20 kids from South Louisiana - LTU
Luther Ambrose plus the few South La kids - ULM
Derrick Fourroux at MSU

Any of those would have been a difference maker here. _

No doubt that Fourroux would have made a difference, he wanted to come to UL bad...

[gorcajun]

I think that Fourroux wanted to be a QB, we had Desormeaux. It is my understanding that there was very little negotiation. Either he was to sign as an "athlete" or nothing.

We, Ragin Cajun fans can thank Luther Ambrose for not coming here. He was the punt returner that misplayed the ball. Thank you GRANT FLEMING for recovering the fumble and sealing the VICTORY.

We agreed at the last second to let Fourroux have a shot at QB. It was too late at that point as his HS coaches (McNeese guys) had already encouraged him towards Lake Charles. Had we offered QB from the beginning, he likely would have come. Had that occurred, Des may have played another position.

_ This is the kind of post that ____es me off.

I'm tired of people on these boards that don't let people speak their minds. There are a LOT of diehards that don't come to these forums and feel the same way as a lot of us do.

Just b/c we don't agree with the Universitys decision doesn't mean we shouldn't renew season tix or not attend home games... that's real smart

Let me put it to you like this... We diehards (the one's who speak their mind AND the one's who agree with any/every or respect any/every decision of UL or Bustle) have one thing in common... we all love this University.

Now when I see these stupid attendance posts and everyone getting mad because regular joe's don't want to come to UL games and then I see a post telling big time / diehard fans to hit the bricks... who the hell you got left?

You think 12 - 15k is bad well go ahead and keep your 8k and change!

There seems to be a good half (better half IMO) that wants things to CHANGE NOW! The rest are going to HOPE things that have been going the same way for the last 10 years will SUDDENLY CHANGE.

Look let Bustle take his final vow, but this University better look hard into the 2011 season.

And please someone answer me... how can a 100 year old Division 1 University BE HAPPY with 6-6 when you got teams under 10 years old in D1... TROY / FAU winning bowl games and conference championships.

This University has the capability to run the Sun Belt every year. There is no doubt in anyone's mind. We are a big enough University and those wins start rolling in, attendance is back to 22 - 25k EVERY game, RCAF blows up.... but it just doesn't happen. We blow homecoming every year with 20k+ on hand... The University BRINGS IT UPON ITSELF! PLAIN AND SIMPLE! _

Oh so sorry to ________ you off.... I surely don't want to run off the true die hard fans that logs onto a Cajun board to post all their gripes and complaints. Please feel free to air out all the dirty laundry you don't like about the university. Oh and please make sure to log in after every game to either b__ch or compliment the coach/university/players... We all want a front seat for that.

I bet Scott Farmer, David Walker and T-Joe are hitting refresh waiting for your response.

I don't 100% agree with the University's decision. They really don't give a rats $$$ what my opinion is. I love this city, university and team. I will renew my season tickets and buy more. I will continue to send my small donation in monthly to the RCAF and I will continue to support the University irregardless of what happens. But, if the sky ever quits falling.. what will you b___h about?

[Clutch0364]

Seriously are we in a position to run off good players? Who cares if Desmo was here, open up the competition and let the best man win.

What p__es me off is that all us good Cajun fans are at each other's throats because our university leadership are so lame.

You know, in the late Stokely/Baldwin era Bustle, we'd have killed for a six win season.

I'm glad that we've finally progressed to the point where we all feel that six wins just isn't good enough.

6 wins isn't good enough. During the era you mention 6 wins meant a winning season. In this era 6 wins has less meaning. OK that's the negative.

Here is the positive, if Bustle were in the old era he would have 3 winning seasons out of the last 5.

I don't know much about that situation, but maybe they didn't want to use 2 scholarships at the same position when everyone agrees we need better guys at numerous positions???

That is a great point.

In this instance however if the QB spot were to be filled by open competition either of the guys could have filled multiple other spots on the team.
