2019 PreGame: Ohio Bobcats

Actually, in this scenario, a win is a win is a win is a win is a win is a win is a win is a win is wim is a win is a win is a win.

Snuck one in there. Sometimes its a wim.

I did it on a whim.

Snickers. Fixed it.

The CAJUNS could win on a whim this time...

I think going off my preseason prediction I have the Cajuns losing this one (and the following three actually). QB play was the difference in every winnable but not favored to win game last year in the regular season. I haven’t seen much of anything in the first three weeks to say we are gonna be able to throw the ball down the field successfully. Would love to be wrong. This team is on the cusp of something special and a 10 win season if we get above average QB play. I’m in full on believe it when I see it mode and hope to see it Saturday.

Ohio 31
Cajuns 24

Not me. I'll take a one point win.

Since I joined the radio network in 1992, the Cajuns have won exactly EIGHT road non conference games. Five of those wins came against Tulane (2), Arkansas State, ULM and Louisiana Tech.

Since Jake left, the Cajuns have won three non conference road games: Houston (06), Kent State (11) and Akron (13).

I'll be ecstatic just to have a happy flight home.

With the exception of obvious mismatches like last week, I am happy with any one point win. Winning any game is difficult and every victory should be celebrated. Recall half the teams lose every week. It is amusing to me when I hear people say we need to focus on winning to solve some our problems. It’s not like all of our opponents haven’t come to the same conclusion

Mike, sometimes you need to read between the lines and understand the context of that statement. When people say it, or least the people I know are generally speaking in terms of game promotions, ticket sales and attendance. So if you believe that our athletic department has done pretty much everything possible trying to drive ticket sales and attendance at your events, then yes at that point it literally comes down to wins and losses. People in general, outside your core fan base do not attend college or professional sporting events of teams that are losing. They don't see your product or brand worthy of their entertainment funds.

So when you hear me, or someone else say we need to focus on funding our program and creating a winning tradition, we are stating there is not much else the athletic administration can do to get butts in the seats, outside of winning.

Ohio

will give the Cajun Defense fits.
High scoring game that we must win by:
Outscoring them

Of course you do realize those stats are not relevant to any individual team. Instead they show a history of ineptitude and being overmatched for cash.

Neither pertains to this current coach.

I understood all of that before making my post

He didn’t say it did, he said he would enjoy a 1 point win..since we have only had 8 happy trips home in 31 years and I agree with him. Saying you will be pzd if we don’t go on the road and beat a well coached team with a good QB by 2 TD’s is ridiculous. Go win anyway you have to. This team hasn’t had a losing season since 2008, they know how to win. They just lost 2 road games to Pitt by 10 and marshal by 2 in OT. Not sure why anyone would EXPECT us to be them by more than those 2 schools at their house. That’s nonsense, can we? Sure..expect it? Come on
