I know I'll get some push back on this, but.....

UTSA and WKU got to choose their bowl games. I'd have liked UAB but they are headed to the Independence Bowl.

San Diego State isn't on the table. NO is a Sun Belt/CUSA bowl.

So, were those first to scerred . . .

Jay, many of us are drunk.

LOL! You almost made my coffee go through my nose.

Let's stay thirsty my friends!

Jay, I get what you are saying. My question, now that realignment has settled down for now, do you think the Sun Belt will be making new arrangement on future bowls? Also most people do not mention the fact that the Belt only had four eligible teams. That hurt us.

[CajunEXPRESS]

...and I"m sure you're wrong. At least that's the way it's coming across.

If you go back and look at the cULture videos, you'll see that Billy has used Homecoming and point spreads as fodder for getting his team ready to play.

I guarantee there are quotes all over Marshall's locker room talking about them not being worthy to play us.

Hey, it's a message board. Say what you want. But it's a bad look. We sound like Tech and LSU fans.

I'd rather not be them.

I’m equally sure you’re wrong about our fans. Coaches will always have fodder for motivation. As to Marshall in particular. Their fans post on the SBC fan board. Almost to a man they concur that UL deserved a better ranked team than Marshall. That’s about perception for this year. They’re not trashing their team, just acknowledging that we should have a conference champion or top 25 opponent.

I knew I should have put a trademark on "Covid Carolina"....

Monsieur, je vous en prie.

I gave them the nickname, 'Covidflop Carolina.'

[NOCajun]

100% agree with this statement. We need to take the we will play anyone anytime anywhere mentality. Am I disappointed we don't have a better opponent (G5, Houston, UTSA, SDSU, ETC) in our bowl game, YES. Am I happy we are playing another game this season and we can finish 13-1, ABSO F'N LUTELY. 2 years from now, no one will remember who we beat in the New Orleans Bowl, but they will remember that we beat 13 of the 14 teams we played in that season that were on our schedule and finished in the Top 25 again in back to back years.

We don't control what happens in bowl games, TV/ESPN/Conference, ETC do. Let's just go play and win the game and let all the chips fall where they may. As far as Tech goes, they are now on our schedule, you may not love it but it is a fact. Go play and beat them and no one will care what conference they are in, what they say about us or what we think about them.

We are UL, we are the best damn team in the state of Louisiana right now and no one can take that away from us. I don't care if we play Alabama or Lighthouse for the blind. Beat everybody on your schedule and make them say our name.

LOUISIANA RAGIN' CAJUNS!!!!!!!

It was brought up a few days back how many times a Louisiana FBS program, abet ANY LOUISIANA program won 10 or more games in 3 or more consecutive years. LSU 4 one time and Grambling in the 70’s. So…enjoy the moment but mathematically humility is around the corner, so it’s better to embrace it now with class instead of with denial later. My prayer for this program is long term success and our FB fans not end up like a) the Blackham era MBB fans as the program bench mark 4 decades ago or b) baseball fans likewise with a CWS appearance also decades ago as the high water mark. Neither program currently is remotely close to what the fans want, denying times have changed. Football has a chance, but fans and staff alike can’t be complacent and over confident. We have plenty of self absorbed multiple a hole programs in this state who now suck and are in denial. Don’t be that guy. Geaux Cajuns!

I’m seeing little evidence for your concerns about the fans. Of course times change and with that things change. You’ve gotta change to keep up. The basketball fell because of bad decisions over several decades. Baseball is less than a decade from a number one ranking.


New conference mate USM has decades upon decades of great baseball. So my point nothing is written granite. We can become very good again. One thing that’s not changing soon is that Louisiana, Texas Mississippi, and the FloraBama Gulf is loaded with talent in all sports. No reason we can’t get a fair share.

#1 ranking or not, baseball is still 2 decades from the high water mark. I’m comfortable in saying any baseball fan will take a CWS appearance with some success over a #1 ranking any day. CCU won’t disagree with me I’m sure.

.....we need to get over ourselves a bit.

For years we've belittled and criticized other schools for their holier than thou attitude. You know, like some of the Covid Carolina fans, or Tech fans, or LSU fans.

Some of us are becoming them.

We're too damn good for the New Orleans Bowl, we're too damn good to be playing that crap of a team Marshall, we shouldn't play Tech unless the series starts in Lafayette. Screw Tech, it's costing me a trip to Wyoming.

Guys, one of the things I loved about Billy Napier was how humble he stayed throughout his tenure. And, he made sure his players stayed humble as well. He played up the "underdog" mentality.

We're playing up the "entitled" mentality.

It isn't a good look. It just isn't.

I'm down with you on this Jay.

[SlickRick]

I don’t think we are too good for the NOLA bowl. I just wish we were playing a P5 team. However at least in my mind, Marshal is a well known and respected program and it’s better than playing a MAC team or another CUSA lackey.

Yep!
