Game Week: Coastal Carolina

[RaginScotsman]

From a Chants fan on the Belt message board-"I don't see us winning this game for a couple reasons. Our secondary is high school caliber at best, and I can't help but believe that preparation for this game has been challenging due to the hurricane and the displacement of our team.

I think we will score and score a lot on Louisiana. But they'll score even more.

I'm guessing we lose in 52-38 type game"

Apparently, Coastal has been staying in Jacksonville since their game on Wednesday. The CCU campus is still closed. They're essentially displaced. We know that feeling down here too. This is a tough spot to be in, but may work in the Cajun's favor in spite of the extra 2-3 days of prep that they've been able to get.

We had a poster here last week worried about the extra days they had to prepare for this game. As was correctly pointed out by a number of us, they were not going to be at home, sleeping in their own beds, and following their normal routine. Gotta be tough to be displaced, concerned about what's going on back home, and trying to prepare mentally for a game. I'm sorry it's worked out for them that way, but thems the breaks.

Cajuns just need to do their part. Score early and often and do everything possible to disrupt their quarterback.

I’m thinking that the Cajun defense will surprise the fans here.

I'm betting Raga has well over 100 yards. He should look like a man among boys out there.

I think that is what most of us are worried about. Surprises can be bad to.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Most people, Cajun fans, thinking we're a sieve. So them being a sieve wouldn't be a surprise to them or you apparently.

___k you must be fun at parties

I am fun, just not at Cajun football parties.

[CajunNation]

Gonna be a great game.

If the fans show up, we'll get the boys across the finish line. We got this.

Back in 2008, we played Southern Miss just about the night before Hurricane Ike was to make landfall. A lot of our players were from New Orleans (and the south in general) and had just gotten over Katrina. A lot of them were worried about family back home and what was to come. Thank goodness for police escorts to lead us home b/c the Interstates were brutally backed up.

Southern Miss took advantage and went on to beat the brakes off of us. I hope we do the same this weekend.

Oh yes. That was for Hurricane Gustav. Southern Miss dominated that game from start to finish. Luckily, I had some family friends who lived just up the road north of Hattiesburg, so I stayed there for the next couple of days and waited for the storm to pass. That was a long weekend.

Sure that wasn't Hurricane Georges?
