Halfway Home: at 3-3

[HOUCajun]

Why is it that many people here are expecting us to lose to NM State? We get them at home and we can beat them. I'd actually have them as one of the few teams I'd expect us to beat. USA is really good and we'll have a lot more trouble with them.

I would have said before last Wed that so al was terrible and Troy would run the table. Tx St is bad we know and they played App st close. I would not be surprised with anything by between 2-4 wins for this team. That is a pretty big range but you can talk yourself into almost any scenario based on how volitile the results have been.

I'm very serious. If the defense continues to play like they have the last 2 games, I don't think they'll lose again. I think Ole Miss is ripe for the picking this year and App St. Is not as strong as usual.

Good points.

stAte, App and Ole Miss are not as good as usual. South Al is a basket case. NMSU will be a very difficult game, but I can't wait for it because I think it is going to be a fun game for Homecoming.

So, predicting these games will prove to be nearly impossible, which is to say that anything is possible.

There's a balance of being logical about "how the defense played" and "who did the defense play well against". I listen to color people during the setup of games all of the time. They read off the stats as if the prior contests were all equally balanced programs. You cannot look at stats... or how a team played "last week"... without considering "who they played".

If I boxed yesterday against a 10 year old... and dominated him... but the week before I fought a guy better than me and got knocked around... you don't say "J1M seriously improved this week... if he keeps that up... I think he'll win his next 5 matches".

Our opponents aren't just different in personnel and coaching... they match up man for man differently game by game. It only takes a couple of match-up issues to shift who is the fire hydrant and who is the dog.

Dogs were brilliant for picking the fire hydrant as a representative replacement for legs trees and fence posts.

The more I look at the remaining schedule, I don't see another loss. I think we win out.

That’s what I’m talking about!

It’s past time someone else sees what I see. This pain train has left the station and there ain’t no turning it back.

Homecoming is going to be packed with our guys returning to Cajun Field after wins at Jonesboro and The Grove.

[Cajunrunner]

I bet almost no one her could predict all six games correctly. I see 2-4 wins closing out, but this league is just too unpredictable. Anything could happen. My guess is W,L, L,L, W,W. We get a bowl bid and HUD keeps his job. People here lose their mind because they are all focused on who will be the next coach.

Actually, most people here would lose their mind because once again, our million dollar a year head coach will have underperformed when compared to his salary peers.

But what I’m a worried about. We’re about to run the table! I have a feeling we’re in for an epic finish to this season.

Will be In Spite of, not because of Hud.
As the old saying goes, "even a broken clock is right twice a day...."

[Tell The Truth]

Coach Scam Hud could win the next 6 games and he would still have a losing record at usl...in all reality he will lose the next 3 and return home to a crowd of about 500-1000 for the next home game...he should have to pay for the stadium expansion....he thought he would fill it with Mississippi ACT tutors...
