2020 The Game that Wasn't

[CajunEXPRESS]

So let’s get it right? Which position was wiped out by the test? I’m pretty sure it’s not a national defense secret.

[NOCajun]

Some of you may remember that last week when the Scrotothroats were whining about UL having a week off, I speculated that they might use Covid to get out of playing a championship game against us.

When I saw them flopping against Troy, I knew they were worried. Troy should have been no challenge, those shenanigans were completely unnecessary... unless the Chickenhearts were starting to hear footsteps.

Unless they were going to a prevent defense.

Is there a Covid + on their team? Maybe.

But it sure is convenient. They barely beat us on a last-second field goal. Beating us a second time would get them nothing substantial, but we represented a good chance that they would lose their perfect season...

Sure makes you wonder what the chickensh_ts would've done if there wasn't a pandemic out there... Talk about TOO convenient!!!

[RaginScotsman]

Reading their message boards you’d think they are a legacy program that has won championships year after year.

Chickens, this is the first time you’ve been relevant in D1 football.....ever!!!

Talking down to us and calling us Lafayette just because they know it gets to us now too?

We’re not Ohio state, but we’ve been far more comparative in D1 than you ever have. We’ve also been D1 for decades longer than you.

Go back to your coop, beach chickens. No matter what the playoff says, you didn’t win a conference championship. That’s a fact.

This truly is unbelievable...sunbelt just being sunbelt

How is it unbelievable? It is very believable. There is 12 million on the line for a peach bowl. Coastal is pretty much guaranteed to get in if Cincy loses. They may still get in if Cincy wins. Maybe.
There was no guarantee if UL beat Coastal for UL. There was a chance, but it was a longer shot.
It comes down to Money and that is a lot of money. 6 Million to Coastal. I think half of that goes to SBC and half goes to Coastal.
Also, what was Coastal's coach bonus for going undefeated? Maybe Coastal's coach and Gill(commissioner) split it.

I’d wear it with pride

Why? They went undefeated but didn't get a chance to play for a national championship. We might as well buy rings and declare ourselves Sunbelt champs. I would be embarrased but thats just me. They could have found other ways to award the team for an outstanding season. In 1998 Tulane went undefeated. I'm pretty sure the Boise went undefeated a couple of times in recent years. If you were a CCU player, you would show off your Belt trophy with pride? To me if they refuse to reschedule, it's a tainted championship.

[DocCajun]

Agree with everything you said. “Unbelievable” that this happened to us, this year, given the phenomenal year we had, given the history etc etc

[CajunEXPRESS]

The rings illustrated the hypocrisy of the playoff system that’s in place. They’re as much a champion as anyone.

If ISU were to somehow get to and win the championship, I’d have zero problems with UL doing the same. It’s a protest and thus exempt from everything.

I get it's a protest and it's unfair how the G5 doesn't get a shot at the playoffs. I think you would have to go undefeated three years to get in. Things will eventually change.It just smacks to me as being a poor sport. The G5 should sue. I'm surprised nobody has sued them over this monopoly yet. Things will eventually change. Not sure if I'll live to see it.

I disagree but perhaps that's just me. There are otther ways of protesting. I would be embarrassed if I was a Coastal player.

It’s part and parcel CDS. Almost always the gods are against us. Remember the baseball gods sent rain. The basketball gods sent the flu, and NCAA, football gods 1943 not enough games, 2005 ULM can’t go so it’s stAte, now some Wuhan unverified test.

[ZoomZoom]

Does anyone know how long the contact tracing quarantine period lasts? If it's 10 or longer days, and the test was done on the 17th, that would mean that the position group would still be in quarantine on the 25th & 26th which are the dates of the Camellia & Cure bowls.

Here you go.

So 14 days of isolation for their DL group. So if Cincy wins, NO bowl since the 2 alternatives are 8 or 9 days out. Bet my left nut they play regardless.

I’m very ____ed off about this as any diehard.

However, the football gods gave us a second chance whenever CCU was flagged for having 2 players wearing the same number on the field at the same time. We squandered that gift away.

The Cajuns should have won that game on a last second field goal!
