POSTGAME REACTION: ULM WarHOAX

[Turbine]

Well, the team was down 30 scholarships, the locker room was divided, we were getting embarrassed by conference mates, our coach was a National punchline, major donors were pulling their support and no one was going to the games…

I’d call that ashes.

Almost every incoming coach uses the "down so many scholarships" Mantra.

Thats why I could never understand Bustle only giving out 17 scholarships his first year.

With turnover and graduation you start every year down a certain number of scholarships. Some schools like Alabama have been known to hand out 30 in a single year. That's how many scholarships they were down.

Guys I enjoyed listening. But you guys made it sound like Billy took over the program that bustle actually took over. That was “in the ashes”. Bustle brought them up a notch. HUD took them to the next level with multiple bowl wins. And Billy raised it up a couple more notches. I know y’all were probably kids during the Baldwin days but that was down in the ashes.

I definitely remember those late Stokley and Baldwin years. Talk about rock bottom. As far as the “from the ashes” comment, we definitely know that Hud brought us to a level of relevancy but when he left, we had a divided locker room along with being on probation, vacating most of our wins from 2011-2014, and an apathetic fan base that took at least two years to come back. Maybe the phrase came off as a little exaggerated but for Billy to change the attitude of an entire program in the short time that he did was quite impressive.

If not for the right coach at the right time this program was primed to spiral out of control after Hud.

Thanks to Hud, everyone knew this program's potential.

I don't think anyone expected Napier to exceed Hud's best.

The Cajun program was in bad shape after Hud. But after Baldwin we were on FBS life support with a depressed wife being told to pull the plug. We had only Bustle as a true applicant for the job.

I’m forever grateful to Coach Bustle.
