Hudspeth amid declining attendance: Tough times are 'the true test of character' for All

[BrockMeaux]

I can watch a team lose. I refuse to watch them look like ****.

He's so right that tough times are a test of character, though. He's shown his repeatedly the last few years. The immediate thought at the conclusion of the game Saturday on Twitter was "who's he going to throw under the bus for this?" And he did not disappoint.

And between this and the Lotief situation, I've never seen Buckley write the more enthusiasm or sense of purpose, Kid Cajun.

Adversity always reveals character....everyone gets to see how you respond

As a Coach one of the greatest lessons that you can teach your players is how to handle failure....

It’s no wonder we are failing as a program

[Grantvb]

How can HUD say this? He himself doesn’t know how to handle failure.

Tough times do in fact reveal character.
Kinda like you telling the "guys you're so proud of" that they were the worst team in the country during a timeout last Saturday.

You're right coach. A lot of character has been revealed over the tough times that you've brought to Lafayette over the last 3 years. But most glaringly, it's your character that's been revealed Coach. Not the fans that are shelling out thousands of dollars and forced to defend your stupidity around other program's supporters; not the players, who as you say "continue to fight for their teammates and Univeristy"; it's not the Thanksgiving Day home game and it's not the APC.. It's not the Schedule or the assistants (that you hired, by the way); It's not the NCAA or the recruits that ultimately choose other schools...

IT'S YOU MARK HUDSPETH.

"I hate playing home games on Thanksgiving (weekend)," he said.

Just.........wow.

Scewses Scewses Scewses

Homecoming should be on Thanksgiving Day.

UL has had over 30 Homecoming games on Thanksgiving Day.

At the end of the day, we the fans are the customer. When you put a bad product on the field, the customer gets fed up and stops spending money on the bad product. If a restaurant opened up in town and had very good food from a talented chef, people are going to eat there. But if the chef starts cooking bad food and the quality decreases, people won't eat there as much. And the chef won't say, "look, the restaurant is facing some tough times but they are the true test of character for the restaurant and customers alike." Um, no sir. You cook bad food, we don't eat there. Plain and simple.

We have given this coaching staff everything from facilities to recruit to all the way to increased donations and fan support. It's not our fault they haven't returned the favor with a underachieving product on the field.

Listen, he can pull his 'used care salesman' shtick all he wants.. The people have spoken.

The RIGHT people are starting to sign now and the writing is on the wall. The Athletic Department is hearing us. The ADs office is hearing us. The fundraisers are hearing us. Local Media has changed its tune (and usually, in Lafayette, you guys know what that means).

Until the axe drops, Hudspeth just needs to shove a ____ load of boudin in his suck hole. Can't get that good stuff in Mississippi, jack. Enjoy it while you can.

Exactly. I was one of the few in the stands for Bustle's last game. He didn't win enough, and needed to go, but he never made me not want to be a Cajun fan. I didn't attend a single home game this year for the first time since I moved back to Louisiana 15 years ago. It's just not something I want to be associated with or spend my money on with the current leadership.

Hudspeth’s right you guy’s fail the character test. I recognized your lack of character long ago. Geaux UL! Beat the Mountaineers!

Your lack of character is showing again.
