Reasons for 2023 Football Optimism

[cajun4life]

That is a special sort of stupid...message of gratitude, yes...successful season? By whose definition?

Y’all act like we are Michigan. We have sucked for the majority of 100 years. Is having a losing record acceptable, no! But making a bowl game is better than our traditional history.

So why don’t y’all have some damn perspective. Appreciate that this season this was an extremely flawed team and should have ended with at least 8 wins. But they could have folded after ULM and they didn’t.

If this continues through the 2023 season you’ll hear me complain. I’m not happy, but I have optimism for next year.

61% of all teams makes a bowl its not that special like it was 15 years ago

In these transfer portal days, every team is going to have a drop off when a coach leaves. The continuity principle has been totally nullified.

Houston went 12-2 last year, and were predicted being ny6 possibly playoff bc they returned everyone including their coaches and they went 7-5 in regular season and were our fumble away or penalty away from having the same record as us. Tulane was 2-10 last year.

and we should have beat them both grrrrr ok I’m done lol

I still blame Beavis for the Troy loss

We have a ton of guys on the roster who only knew how to win and this staff somehow broke that ... it's impressive

RACF needs statistical data to support this claim. What is a “successful season” to them, a losing record, Cajun Field attendance numbers, increase RCAF members, what? I just don’t see it.

Fans don’t need to fight about our opinions of a successful football season. We will each have our own opinion. RCAF needs to be held accountable and justify itself.

So it was never a lack of talent issue .. MBB 2.0

Outside of 6-8 schools, consistently winning at a high level is hard to do. A lot of schools with a lot more resources than us still can’t figure out how to do it. Sometimes ___ just
Doesn’t go your way. I’m interested to see how a year goes with a full offseason with limited turmoil. They signed a pretty good class and if those 4 years of #1 classes are what everyone clamors for then we should be fine. Mike, so far sure seems like someone that is going to start this off-season by looking in the mirror. He had a lot of excuses he could have used and never did. We don’t know the half of it either

He can look all offseason long problem is you fail to capture the momentum you had built the previous 4 years. losing to ULM killed all casual fanbase as well as blowing late leads . We might be celebrating getting 10k fans at a game going into next year. We had an opportunity to start building a winning tradition like App / JMU base but USLed it like always.

This hire was based off an SEC coach throwing us a bone saw how that worked out.
