Game Talk: Louisiana vs. Kentucky

[California Cajun]

I am not a big fan of Cajun football. I have not been impressed with many of the wins in the past few years. Even if we lose I will say in more impressed with our team in the last 20-minutes of this game than I have been in any game in the past four years. The team showed heart.

That face mask was a hard call.

Coach's postgame remarks reflect what you said.

[Zeebart21]

Disagree. A loss is indeed a loss but there is a big difference psychologically to laying down and getting blown out and making an incredible comeback. BIG difference

It's an L! No trophys for being close. I know our youngsters are all getting participation trophys now, which is lame but thes are men. Every one should be hanging their heads.

[Duckster]

We had our chances. Like how we fought back on the road. Obviously must clean up those dumb penalties to win the close ones.

[ULGrad@HOU]

I give them credit for coming back strong and not quitting. Hate to lose, played terrible to begin the game and came up short at the end.

[Zeebart21]

Close doesn't count any more. Here's to 11-1! Geaux Cajuns!

It's an L. Nothing more.

You are not a troll just an a-hole

It looks like leaders are starting to make their way to the front. Frustrating but encouraging. While Kentucky is not the top level sec, we would not be either if we were in the sec. Cajuns just have to keep moving forward and this game may not have been a giant leap forward but it surely wasn't a step backwards. See yawl on saturday. Go Cajuns!

Zee I respect you on this board. Agree on participation trophy logic. And today, they should take their lump. Tomorrow, however, this game feels different (it should) and it has the potential to propell this team. Or...doom them if they hang their heads too low

[ZoomZoom]

We out gained them. More first downs. Won time of possession. If the refs were "in the bag", you'd think they'd let that happen?

WE LOST BECAUSE WE WERE-3 IN THE TURNOVER COLUMN. Muffed punt and fumble in red zone for starters.

We're 0-1, like half the teams that played this weekend. Go Cajuns!

[ulXrunner]

Pretty tired of this bull____ every season.

Can we not get over the hump?

Why the ____ was Nixon not still in the game on the last drive? He earned it and you yank him? ____ that.

If Nixon isn't starting next game we are doing something wrong.

Geaux Cajuns.

I understand Haack has a better arm but with that play calling, why not keep Nixon in. He could make those throws. Plus with two TOs, he could run if need be.

Check the other SEC scores. All other teams got murdered by the SEC. I dam near got a boner, I'm so happy to be in the game and feel great about this season.

Don't forget penalties at bad times.
