G3 Final: Louisiana 21, Rice 33

[ZoomZoom]

There was an ejection and it was announced that a punch was thrown. I wasn’t paying attention when it happened, so I can’t say if it did or didn’t actually happen.

Was announced by official as a punch, but was a kick.

Was announced by official as a punch, but was a kick.

Kicked Rice player on the ground and when he stood and confronted him, Peterson 2 pieced him.

The only ejection was one of our players kicked a Rice player’s helmet out of bounds on a sideline play. Appeared he wasn’t even in on the play. Right call, stupid move. Just lack of discipline.

The play you guys are discussing was a penalty but no ejection.

Correct, player ejected was Peterson #15.

Rice is every bit as bad as UL-M. By your logic Des should be fired today. It’s fine if you believe that, but the fact is a loss to UL-M is no worse than a loss to Rice (for all real purposes).

BTW, I’m happy to have my 5 year proof read your posts if you need.

Ryan, the standards and expectations are the standards and expectations and the cULture shouldn't lower them to ULM standards and expectations. The expectations is to always beat ULM in football. Zero Exceptions! We do still have site members who have referred to the Cajuns as the University of Lafayette. Maybe those guys could afford to lose to ULM. The University of Louisiana should never.

Correct, player ejected was Peterson #15.

…..the question is the other call and the pre call!

Delhomme told someone last night we will be lucky to make a bowl with this team.

Don’t see that happening, we played only 30 minutes of solid football this year against three teams we should of beat the brakes off them by half.

This right here. I am very grateful for what Billy did while he was here. But there’s an argument to be made that he left us worse off than we were when he got here.

Sure we won a lot of games including bowls and a conference championship. He brought us top 25 rankings. And we loved it. But then he took everything with him. I mean he took the freaking media team. Dude left us with nothing.

My analogy here is like building a massive Jenga tower. Nice and sturdy. And then he took more than half the pieces with him to Florida leaving us with a tower that’ll fall over from a light breeze.

I shared the same skepticisms with the Des hire when it was announced. Confused, but excited bc we all love Des. But after the first 3 games it appears he is over his head at the moment. It may take a couple years to build this “jenga tower” back up.

What’s that say about Napier? Thinks the world of himself and is petty? That’s how it reads.

PF called, no ejection.

I’m not sure why we watch any reported attendance numbers . . . I guess so we can show up here and proclaim how wrong they always are . . .

We are not alone

It was his 3rd game. Chill

Transfer portal is going to make continuity hard for every program not in the P5.

After the P5 collapse last week and the near calls this week it doesn't look like the portal has helped the P5 at all.

My guess is, it will help end of season depth.

Name one person who expected us to lose to Rice yesterday?

Exactly, but the handwriting may have been on the wall. Then again, maybe Rice is turning the corner like Kansas who beat Houston.

If someone says they expected Louisiana to lose to Rice with an 11.5 point line and they did not make a lick yesterday, I say they are a liar.
