Bad weather??? 75 shady and dry at kickoff. We are an excuse making weak ass fan base. You could look at the future radar and see it was going to be near perfect for game time. Anyone not there using weather as an excuse is FOS

While I understand the upgrade is coming in a couple of years I don’t understand why basic cosmetic work cannot be done

The main concourse is still really dingy.

I have it on good sources that the upper deck is structurally unsafe. Close it and move those folks downstairs

I had 4 kids with me so I sat in the endzone rather than my STs. I had to stand in the beer line to get candy. Read that again

Casual fan won’t come back and now is the time to hook em. Past time actually

I understand we have a winning streak of 14 games, and we were ranked last year, however marketing is poor, facilities are poor, the competition was poor and poor weather to boot. The gameday experience is severely lacking. Athletic dept is going to have to do better to overcome these issues to lure the fair-weather fan.... pun intended.

Bull____. There were almost two sections filled on a bad weather night. That’s infinitely better than it used to be.

Agreed! I was actually surprised at the turnout. Is it where we need it to be…absolutely not…but it was a very good start.

Poor, poor pitiful me . . isn’t there a song?

Man, if things are that bad, just quit putting yourself through all that misery . . .

Glad the Cajuns won. There is also a lot to improve on. Just my opinion of what I saw:

Chandler looks good, looks confident, and has accuracy. He also had several mistakes, but that is to be expected on his first game.
The Wide Receivers were a disappointment. They didn't show much, missed some catches, didn't get open against an FCS opponent. They should be a strength. Lumpkin and Migl were great. The RB's were average running behind an average looking OL. Our best RB looks to be Terrance Williams, and I don't understand why he didn't get the ball more. Chris Smith, as I've said before, is a good back, but he is not a starting back, he can't move the pile and is tackled too easily.
The Offensive line did not do a great job at pass protection, but wasn't terrible. Just concerning they didn't win the LOS against an FCS opponent.
The Defense was not very aggressive. They tackled well, but we didn't penetrate much and gave the QB way too much time. We came away with a couple of nice INT's. The corners didn't really seem to contest the throws but I think the QB just had too much time. The DL was pushed around some and didn't get into the backfield. We didn't blitz much and we could have used some well timed pressure. Overall, a decent performance by the Defense.
Special Teams made some great plays, with the exception of the missed FG and the out of bounds kick off. Pretty good outing.
Coaching was good. I think it was a bad call sending Smith on 4th down at the end of the first half, it cost us some points. I was hoping to see the offense move the ball better, not sure if play calling was a factor but it could have been. Certainly room for improvement.

Tell me what you see here. Because I disagree with a lot of your post. I agree with a lot as well.

But this play by Chandler is something we haven’t had since Broadway’s healthy years.

And...its labor day weekend, most students who dorm, went home....those who attended must be the RP legendary commuter student...

[Cajunrunner]

AGREE!
And the student side again PATHETIC

Students turned out better last night than in most games recent years. One step forward at a time…

We’ll need them later in the season, so I hope they keep having a good time and stay engaged.

Students did their part yesterday but way too many people leave at halftime. I understand if you have kids and things get difficult but it’s outta control.
