    Two of Hud's best recruits Ringo, and Hamilton along with Alonzo Harris. Can you point to guys on this team you're confident will make all first team all conference much less NFL?

    I'm all about maximizing the talent you have, and right now, our best option is to run as much option football as we can.

    I actually disagree. I think Hud brings in better athletes, but Bustle brought in the right kind of athletes. Look at the recruiting grades, hud wins hands down. What recruiting grades don't measure though is the heart of the player and Bustle's may not have been the biggest dog in the fight, but you knew they weren't going down without a battle. In the case of some of huds guys, it seems like they got to campus and thought they were doing us all a favor by signing with UL and they didn't need to work as hard. If we could get Hud's level talent with Bustle's level drive, this team would be unbeatable.

    Well, Hudspeth is the younger, higher energy level version of Miles.

    Was Nixon the only player on the field Saturday that gave his teammates a high five, Boomer? Our point is that no one is knocking Nixon here, saying he's not a "team" player. But, there are literally thousands and thousands of team players around the country... almost none of whom are extolled for giving a high five to teammates when walking off the field.

    I cant go there, Bustle was king of fundamentals' but brought no passion to the players overall performance.

    Hudspeth took fundamentally sound teams and motivated them to unexpected heights.

    Today, Hudspeth teams are struggling with fundamentals, and no amount of motivation will help a team lacking in that department.

    History has shown it takes both.

    How many d backs did Bustle send to the league? I don't see any Dez or Fenroy type players out there now. Our O lines could block under Bustle also, not seeing that at all now.

    Something changed Turbine, we also were the lowest penalized team in the league for his first four years, but not last year, and this one is not off to a good start.

    It's been a while since I've posted here (life has been a little hectic) but I wanted to put my $.02 in. There's been a few of us here that have been quite critical of Hud for the past 3 years now (yes that includes his last good year) and it came to fruition on Saturday. I think we realized early on that he had reached his ceiling. For me it was the 3 game stretch in '14 when we get beatdown by Tech at home, then on the road at Ole Miss, then on the road at Boise. To me, that was by far the most talented team on both sides of the ball we've had in a while. I expected to at least be in the game for 2/3 of those. That's when my thoughts about Hud changed. Same vanilla play calling, same prevent defense meant that his potential to keep growing as a head coach came to a halt. That was what we were going to have for however long his tenure would be.

    I'm not surprised at all in what we saw on Saturday. I went to the game in hopes that maybe, just maybe, something in the offseason changed with him. I left mid second quarter, earliest I've ever done, and I'm not ashamed. I ignorantly hoped for a difference but, stupidly, was wrong.

    So what's the difference from first 3 years to last 3 years? How can a Cinderella story fall off so much in such a short time? I don't think there's one solid answer. Bustle's kids, better coordinators moved on, poor recruiting evaluation, who knows. What I DO know is that the fans and University have provided everything within means to help improve the athletic program to where it is today. And to Hud's credit, those improvements NEVER would've happened without his tenacity and spunk that he brought in those first 3 years. So for where the University is today, I give all my thanks to Mark for what he has helped grow.

    But the flood waters are rising, and it won't be long before the waters reach that ceiling and it's a total loss.
