Who is the best coach in UL football history?

We almost killed that horse.

LOL I can't help it.

I might have buried that horse if UL wasn't so quick to vacate their own games.

It's only fair to claim the games that were given you on a silver platter.

Texas Tech offered the NCAA two "forfeits" to UL and the NCAA accepted.

OK I need a new stick.
