2018 FB G3: Louisiana 28 Coastal 30

If you dont like dont read it,

I don't like stupidity, especially when its lecturing the fans on losing the game. I'm invested in this program and have been for some time like most here. We didn't go out and lose that game like that last night. We have the right to be upset. If YOU don't like it, don't read. Nobody's forcing you to come here.

Y’all can make all the detailed critiques and spin the story line whichever way you want. You can talk about coaching changes, and schedules and talent, all you want. Here is the bottom line folks:

It’s 2018. We’ve invested MILLIONS into our football program over the last decade. We’re paying top level compensation for coaches and have been for the better part of a decade...

And we can’t beat an FCS callup with a back up QB, with most of its team not knowing if they have a home to go back to today. And we probably won’t compete, in the mother ___king sun belt conference, AGAIN.

this post is sorta EXACTLY RIGHT.

A bazillion % serious

Please explain the trap game scenario. Are you suggesting that we held back on our gameplan last night so as not to show Alabama too much? lol.

You are absolutely correct and this is why Farmer and then Hud were fired. The business of Ragin Cajun football has been mismanaged for years and can't be turned around in 9 months time.

Yes, we are paying a lot of money, and have high expectations, but this is truly a process.

Dabo 1st 2.5 seasons at Clemson = 18-14 and people were begging for TDP and Swinney to be fired.
Saban 1st 3 seasons at Michigan State 19-16-1.
Saban 1st season at Alabama 7-6, with a loss to ULM at home and they played in the frickin' Independence Bowl.

My opinion is that we have top notch professionals on board in Maggard and Napier. I trust them to make sound decisions, while trying to balance short-term vs long-term.

We are fans, so it is natural for us to get too high when things are good and too low when things are bad. I don't expect Dr Maggard or Napier to think like that.

BLU, nice effort in BR. You won’t get that from most of these guys. I do appreciate a good effort from big underdogs. Good luck the rest of the way.

Bama is in for a surprise baby. We comin. Dey ain’t gonna know what hit em. Every network is going to switch programming as we enter the fourth quarter. Saban is going to have a coronary. We will forever referred to as lsuam big brother

Relax guys. The sun came up and we are still alive. It may take awhile but Coach Nape will get it fixed

Yup, everything is fine down here. Much happier with our leadership and future than your Tesla-like economics. Enjoy the bragging rights while you got 'em because that light at the end of the tunnel you see is the Cajun train.

How is your Tier 1 status and research budget going?

This is what happens when we start posting while pounding a few beers back and everyone's emotional.... lol

I drank 3 beers yesterday. I knew exactly what I was saying. It was a joke lol

But seriously that was tough to watch. Our defense FINALLY makes a play and our offense was starting to roll. Put Lewis in and all momentum goes right out the window. Nothing against Levi but it’s obvious who makes the team go. I am the eternal optimist but after last night I’m scratching my head while looking at the schedule to see where our wins are gonna happen. Coaching took us out of the game last night. Let’s hope Billy Billy learns from this and gets better. Remember it’s his first time doing this as well. And lastly I loved the effort of the kids last night. Never quit. Someone pointed out during halftime that if history was any indication we were aboutbto get blown out at home. Last year that happens, this year we fought back. Even though the talent is severely lacking, the heart isn’t. Continue to work hard and get better

Can any of those excess RB's and WR's tackle?

So once again, I'm asking for someone to point out to me why we can't at least expect to see improvement from last year? We have many of the same players and many people were high on the new ones that Napier brought in this year. I don't think many people are expecting 9 wins or anything. I'm just looking to see some improvement on both offense and defense. Things in scheme and use of personnel can be effective immediately.

I can even handle a loss last night although its very disappointing. I can handle that if we have a more effective passing attack using all parts of the field rather than just lobbing jump balls all game to the outside. I can handle a defense that lacks athleticism but why not blitz more, especially when there is a freshman QB in the game? I'd rather give up 30+ points being aggressive and forcing the QB's hand versus playing base defense all game.
