What?

He is basically saying Fields is leaving.

Just listened to the postgame interview with CMD from Saturday. One word: gratitude. I think it was divine providence that put us at 6-6 so that we could be humbled and then be more appreciative of this team at 6-6 and scrapping for a bowl bid. I remember during the Bustle years how 6-6 was on the Christmas list but a bowl game passed us by. There were only 35 bowls back then. I will appreciate this season as much as I did the 13-1 season last year. Geaux Cajuns.

I don’t think Chriss was ready to start this year. I think the coaching staff didn’t want to show him off in limited action either. I’m sure every school has a scout/scouts watching other teams, looking for possible transfers.

How so? One sits the bench for a team trying to get bowl eligible in the last regular season game of the season and the other sits the bench for another team that was trying to stay in playoff contention in the last regular season game of the season. One series against a very bad team who had already lost its last game of the season is too small a sample size to make such an evaluation.

One beat the other on the road with less talent around him. Every one in the stands that night could see Chriss was the best player on that Field.

Was that your stance for Ben's game when he had 12 of 13 completions and 2 touchdowns?

I’m thinking it might be quite the opposite on the talent side. For Howard’s senior year, STM probably had the least talented o line and set of skill players in 15 years. But it is normal to assume otherwise, especially when one has an agenda.

[Big Poppa]

Not a slight on Chandler but what was your stance when Wooldridge opened the season ...

19 of 24 for 227 yards, 2 TDs and zero interceptions?

I was glad to see we had a capable back up.

I’m thinking I saw the game and know what I saw. How familiar are you with Zeon’s high school team.

I’m very familiar with Howard’s and the talent level was just not there. Why do you think he was hurt for part of the season?

My observations on the weekend.

Weather was crappy on our drive to San Marcos Thursday.

Friday, weather was better and we were able to enjoy our stops at various liquid stops.

Saturday, weather cleared up and so did our Cajuns. I really liked TXST’s stadium. Able to sit on the 50 behind Cajun bench and not many folks in attendance. QB of the future is here.

Sunday drive back was bad from Bridge City eastward

Monday morning QB of reading this thread was entertaining.

I’ll miss not returning to San Marcos for 2 years. Baseball and Softball also play here in 2023.

Please let us play in the Independence Bowl.

I was not at that game but I have several friends that have kids at STM who were there. Many of them big LSUA&MBR fans and they told me the same thing about that night. Said Chriss was electric and the best player on the field on that night. I can't wait to get a long look and bigger sample size of his ability just because of everything I have heard from people who do get to see him.

Fields calling these plays?

You think CMD drew it up to have him throw into coverage instead of taking the open receiver?

Fields is a decent QB, but those saying last year he should have started over LL were definitely smoking something. Or I hope they were.

No, LL would have not won 13 games this year, and Fields would not have last year.
