As Shaq would probably answer, “the Leblancs don’t own anything. The Domingues own Fluid crane” haha

The previously mentioned Gulf America wire rope , rentals and hose are owned by the LeBlanc side. Which is why BWK mentioned it.

Lots of winning companies in that kid . . .

Magic number is 1 to host

I don’t think it’s quite there yet. An App loss puts CCU in the drivers seat in the East and we can’t clinch outright over them currently (unless we are 8-0 in conference)

I'm glad we've arrived at a spot where it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing

Positives: We WON against a decent team, on a short week, clinched a spot in the championship game, and we are 8-1.

Negatives: Play calling wasn't great. Effort didn't seem to be there. Levi was pretty terrible for about 2/3rds of the game. Others were terrible too, but he's the most visible.

We can be happy that we won and still expect better next time.

Babbs, as always a text book analysis and 100% spot on.

He is definitely a lot better at football than he is at Covid. Glad to see him posting more in the sports threads now. GEAUX B4H . . .

Is Elliot the play caller for GSU? He has to be kicking himself this morning. 3 straight passing plays ended their 3rd to last drive, and they had plenty of time to run it more on the last drive (especially after the unsportsmanlike).

Referees lost control of that game early. 42 for GSU threw a punch in the 1st half, and it went uncalled. There was no reigning it in after that. Block in the back call was horrible on the punt return, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a holding call come in as late as the one on Vallot.

So that boy has good blood in him all the way around. I believe Jed & drew are his uncles.

I will say, there was a point last night where i was unsure if Levi was going to come back out on the field. I'm not a "Levi is terrible and he's always been terrible" kind of guy, but last night was pretty bad. The fact that we've lost two games in the last two years, and there's doubt about whether a fifth year senior quarterback is the best option tells you a lot about where things are.

That said, I think it would have to be even worse than that for Napier to actually pull him. I'm excited about the future of Fields, but realistically that's like handing a 15 year old kid with a learners permit the keys to a big rig. Better to just let the professional trucker get you there, even if he's swerving a little.

Same thing I said last night. Why did Elliot stop running the ball? After the 16 play drive he ran it on the first play of the last drive for 12 yards. Then 3 straight passes.

Credit to our guys for finding a way to win. I felt GAST was way more physical than us on both sides of the ball (outside of P Butler who was stacking lumber) and we lost the turnover battle. Lacy had two big drops that I think at least 1 probably cost TD. Either the short week or the weather seemed to have an effect on the offense. Despite all of that we found a way to move the ball and score in crunch time and the defense closed the door. Great team had an off night. I’ll take the W and clinching the West and move on to the next.

We left at halftime because my wife was freezing and well, so was I. The wind in the upper deck was something we didn't prepare for. Plus, I felt maybe we would bring good luck if we watched the second half at home. I guess we get the game ball!

Watching it on tv, it was clear how their lines were winning the line of scrimmage. Especially the right side of their offensive line. They were like bulldozers. I think they were coached up to not be intimidated by our team; that was why I know I saw at least 3 times in the second half, 1 of their players push 1 of ours to the ground, after the play. Fortunately, there was a ref to come up and say "play nice" instead of having to call 1 of those nasty unsportsmanlike penalties!

They were a better team than most of us give them credit for. BUT we made some very bad decisions, either play call or execution, on some critical downs, that hurt us.

In the end, the good guys won!

GEAUX CAJUNS!

The unsportsmanlike was also a horrible call after a Cajun player was complaining to the referee about how he was roughed up on what should have been a personal foul.

I have to rethink my cap tipping to GSU. They had several dirty plays in the game. But they did play hard.
