Not sure how good Ole Miss is, but 6-0 and being out shot 24-5 is an absolute face crushing. Honestly, if history is any indication of this year’s squad that Scott has put together, this result is not surprising.

The game wasn’t even competitive. This outcome is unacceptable. We spent RCAF money to upgrade the stadium, but the coaching and players are not performing to acceptable standards. This is NOT the Ragin Cajun way!

This is supposed to be the best team Scott has put together too. I thought they lost to LSU last week 2-1...not good.

I think Maggard said that Scott said this was maybe his most talented team.

Celebrating close losses is a losing mentality. “But we only lost by X points.” You still lost.

We should see if Lafayette High or STM’s head coach would like a shot. Maybe at least they won’t be arrogant rears like Scott, and the results can’t be worse.

I wasn't celebrating anything. Just saying what I thought I heard.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to insinuate that you were. Dr. Maggard mentioned on the radio that it was a good performance and we ONLY lost 2-1. That’s the first thing I think I’ve heard Maggard say that was kind of sugar coated.

No worries...I didn't hear the interview but Maggard usually doesn't sugar coat much.

Honestly we should give soccer it’s own stadium across Cajun Dome Blvd from Lamson Park. There is enough room and they can build their own lockeroom. No worries about sharing space or scheduling conflicts for practice.

Once that’s done then completely start over from scratch. Build a winning program and seek partial membership in a much more competitive league.
