Now as much as I love my Cajuns and would love to see them back in the top 25 it's a slap in the face that especially Marshall is not in the top 25 for all they done so for. I say the athletes are not the only ones who need to be drug tested but the sport writers who can say LSU 47 in the power polls is better than an undefeated Louisiana team at 51 either they are high or retarded.
    You can't use the term high, or retarded any more. It's not politically correct. Check the in game thread for more information.

    I know this sounds intellectually disabled on my part but words have defined definitions.

    Well defined words that paint an uncomfortable picture are being replaced by less defined words or phrases.

    What the elevated and mighty fail to comprehend is that words are ultimately defined by everyday interaction.

    Meaning: For the next generation, the mental picture the replacement words paint, will be identical to the words they replace today.

    Actually what you said makes perfect sense. You just have to dive down to about 200' deep to get it. The problem is the word police want us to all have to live in the 200' end all day long. BTW, did you know it is no longer politically correct to call the main bedroom in your house the Master suite, or the owner's suite as it might offend someone's sensitivity. You must now call the biggest bedroom the primary suite. I'm surprised no one has gotten upset about calling them bedrooms, You know what that can connotate.

    This very well may be the very first mustache after a foamy beer reference on RP.

    Sorry, but this looks like something stolen from Mike the pillow guy's cyber symposium.

Maybe not as they are 1-1, but they'd be closer than they are now if they were in the ACC.

    They are both knocking on the door, though. If they both play well and get wins this week, they should be in next week.

    But no, there is no way a G5 team that finished 8-4 (#6 TAMU) much less 4-8 (#14 USC) the year before would be close to being ranked preseason. We have to earn it and Marshall and App are in a position to do that.

    As far as the Cajuns are concerned, I don't think anyone that has watched them is sold on us being a top 25 yet. Even after all of those wins in a row. Maybe make a run and beat some better teams, but not right now.
    UL finished last year at #16 and had several fortunate and sometimes ugly wins, but kept winning and stayed in the polls. So, we lose our coach and several key players, yet we continue to win. So far, 1.5 games have been ugly, but we exploded in the last half and remain undefeated with the nation's longest winning streak. So, what changed from how we ended last year? Nothing. Only expectations from the media and a total bias for P5 schools. That is so obvious with how our conference is being treated now with the impressive wins this past weekend. Guess we will just have to keep winning and hope for more P5 losses that will let us back into the Top 25. Probably the only way we get there. Hate to have to wait for Florida State at the end of the year. A lot of football to be played between then and now. Can't let up.

    It's almost too bad the half of the game they played poorly in was the first half. I imagine the lightning delay caused any interested observers with voting power to turn somewhere else. But no one is supposed to judge a team on a half of football.
