Step Up and Take a Stand: Bowl Eligible or Not?

[HoustonCajun]

App is no more talented than we are. What they don100% better than we do is execute and don't shoot themselves in the foot.

With that being said I see us going 5-7. We may finish up 7-5 but it will be because of the defense. We are horrid on offense.

We go 8-4 and beat App State, winning (tying) the conference with only 1 loss. None of our remaining schedule has a winning record, except App State. I know we don't either, but I see us putting things together against a weak schedule and gaining momentum entering the App State game as we beat ULM, GA State, S. Alabama, and NMSU. App State is beatable and we will avenge last year's loss and beat Troy at home to end the season and get a bowl invite for our 9th win. Oddly enough, we win the conference in a year when it looks like we might not even have a winning record thru mid-year.

We are 2-4 with the following remaining games:

ULM (1-6; 0-3)
Georgia State (2-4; 1-1)
S. Alabama (3-4; 1-2)
New Mexico State (0-7; 0-3)
App State (6-1; 3-0)
Troy (2-5; 1-2)

From a pure talent standpoint we should be 10-2. Instead we will be lucky to finish 7-5.

Stop it, you are killing me. Too funny, man. I am guessing you have an incontinence issue because there is no possible way you have see us play defense. We can't cover, but we sure can't tackle. I honestly don't think we can call ANY game left on our schedule a lock.

Oh I think they're way more talented than we are. I don't understand how anyone can watch this team and think otherwise. Execution requires talent. There's a reason why we haven't been able to execute against teams that weren't terrible.

[CajunRebel]

Hud hasn't gone less than 8-4 yet. That's what I'm going off of. Let be a little optimistic guys.

Nothin wrong with being optimistic... as long as you don't have a meltdown if the team doesn't happen to reach those optimistic predictions.

Answer me this one simple question. If we play mistake free football in every game this season. Meaning 0 turnovers and 0 offensive penalties how many games would we have
lost?

[ZoomZoom]

HAVE TO WIN THE NEXT TWO to have a chance. That said...anyone know when basketball tickets are being mailed out?

Now that our coach aired some laundry, we MIGHT win 2 more games.

Bowl or no bowl...this season is a disappointment. A bowl is the LAST thing on my mind.

Speaking of bowl games, we were having a conversation at work this past week. If I am not mistaken, there was a rule in place that a team could not go to the same bowl in consecutive years. Now the rule is no longer in place. Can anyone confirm?

Well, being that we went to 4 consecutive New Orleans bowl I would say no...

Execution requires dicipline and coaching, not talent. We are not executing, consistently digging ourselves into holes we can't climb out of.

If we play up to our capabilities for 4 quarters who on our schedule beats us? When I say that I mean 0 turnovers and drops. Who beats us?

Does that mean the other team gets 0 turnovers, drops and penalties as well?

In my opinion out of the teams we have already played, Louisiana Tech and Kentucky had more talent than us, straight up. I was not impressed with Akron or Arkansas State's talent.
