This Decision Has Sickened Me

[CajunFan64]

I have lived and died by this program for this long, and I just can't do it anymore. I've seen people shy away from the program and say they were tired and I never thought I'd be one of those people. I just can't do it anymore, ONE WINNING SEASON IN 8 ____ING YEARS; garunteed we play a 12 game that season, BUSTLE LOSES IT. Rickey had taken us to mediocrity, I'm just upset because I know who was on the top of their list as a replacement and he WANTED to come here. Hiring that coach would have made a statement, instead we stick with MEDIOCRITY. I'm tired of keeping it a secret his initials were EO and HE WANTED TO COME HERE. I'm actually glad for EO, that poor bastard would have been sucked in to the same thing we have POTENTIAL. that is all we have to hang our hat on is how much ____ING potential this place has. I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE, I feel like I"ve been punched in the stomach here. Everyone should know this; we could've made a statement but instead we stick with ____ING MEDIOCRITY; we are never going to be what we want to be. I thought it would be different with Walker, Farmer, and Savoie.... NO cajun fans its the same old ____. Welcome to real life, pack it in, swallow your pride and cheer for that team in Baton Rouge. You know what those guys don't settle for Mediocrity; I don't like em but, I have to respect that they can do that. Hell I may cheer for Monroe, At least they know when its time to make a change. NOT US.... SAME OLD ____.

the sad reality about everything you said is that it's all true. on the other hand, remember the fickleness of our fan base. if we would have made the change, expectations would be high when orgeron came in, and with the SEC and Big12 laden schedule we have next year, he would be catching the same heat Bustle is catching now. I hate the mediocrity as well, don't get me wrong, but let us let Bustle finish off the mess he created himself. once that is done i'm pretty sure nothing would keep our pathetic AD from doing what he should have done many years ago.

I'll never understand why people make comments like this on sports-related message boards. People wouldn't post here if they were not passionate about UL athletics.

And I'm pretty sure that the original poster knows that his life won't end if UL sports continue to be mediocre.

Guess i'll never understand how people can get so ____ed at losing football games.

Everyone needs to read Mr. Judice's article in the RCAF section of the program for the Troy game and why he is a fan. It makes sense!!!............ Then again, everyone will probably blame him for UL being mediocre.

ONE WINNING SEASON IN 8 ____ING YEARS

That was 2005 of course, but just think if the NCAA hadn't gone to a 12 game schedule you could say THREE winning seasons in 8 years.

I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

I think everyone feels your frustration and most of us feel the same way. We make every excuse under the sun. Pull rainbows out of crushing defeats. Keep coaches around for decades when they haven't done much. I really believe that Martin Hall is not serious about sports at all. It doesn't matter if it is Dr. A or Dr. S. I was a young man in the 80's and caught up in that spirit that we were on the "Rise". I remember almost beating a Barry Sanders OSU team. I remember beating Colorado State, UNLV with Icky Woods, Memphis, USM, ECU etc... I wish administration would just come out and say "look we are not serious about sports find a pro team to follow or just go to Baton Rouge". We always had basketball to hang our hat on and now we don't even have that. We have Softball, Water Skiing, and Bass Fishing!

I wouldn't necessarily say that, we may have been 6-5 in 2 of those .500 seasons, but in both cases we played teams we HAVE to play in conference. it is a better to consider which game would we have not played played in those season. in 2006 we wouldn't have played NC A&T. This year, we would have not played Southern, absolutely, 100% sure, we need the 2 money games and the home game against K-State. This though is a better argument for 2008 as we probably wouldn't have played Utep, and would have left us at 6-5.
