Morning After Pill: Cajuns and Golden Eagles

[cajundiehard]

I agree that they put everything into this game and may very well overlook ulm Saturday. At least I am hoping so!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong... but I would think the Cajuns win the tie-breaker over USM should they falter one more game than the Cajuns down the stretch, by virtue of Cajuns win over Marshall vs. the USM loss to them (common opponent highest in conference standings - assuming Marshall maintains their grip on 3rd). If the Cajuns can win out, still got a chance to win the league.

My biggest concern for this team is Fulks. Dude has proven himself over the course of the season, but dude plays A LOT of minutes. That worries me over the long haul. If he goes down we are toast. And can he sustain? God bless Thomas, but he ain't Fulks.

. . . my heart missed a few beats when Fulks went down behind the goal in the second half and stayed down out of site . . . it was like who is going to carry and distribute the ball . . . fans can complain about him but there are 10 times more reason to compliment his play than complain about it . . .

. . . and they had 8,000 rowdy fans there with a substantial student component . . . that crowd would rock in the CD also . . .

probably half of the student section was all of the other school teams that had a "mardi gras" parade at halftime, Saturday you will again be able to pick your seat there as they did their big push for the game against us. I know how games are there I have friend that have season tickets to several different USM sports and a daughter at school there and her boyfriend is the sports editor on campus and has to be at almost all sporting events on campus. Last night was not the rule, its been so bad that my daughter and a friend of mine were allowed to sit in floor seats just so it would look like there were people at a basketball game. Their average is similar to ours and last year they averaged around 500 a game. USM is just pushing that UL is their big rivalry and give away the house to get people to games against us. AKA six dollar tickets to the football game game that brought in every low class dirt bag in that county. or last night highly reduced seats for the double header.

. . . with all that said, what part of my post do you dispute . . .

The building of real rivalries is the most important thing that can happen in the Sunbelt. It improves atmosphere, attendance and increases performance. This what we missed for such a long time. Marshal, Coastal, App State, GA State and USM will hopefully turn into heated rivalries. It will make Cajun fans passionate again.

I personally think it’s great that USM is pushing the rivalry from their side. They’re the rival we need to get our fanbase engaged.


Hopefully we can get some Saturday night home games against them in football

I agree. He was down for a long time too. Scared the $%!# out of me.

Thomas is a D2 player at best.

USM's lowest attended football game for a team that had not been to a bowl in 2 years: 22,128 (average of 25,131)

UL's lowest attended football game for a team coming off 3 of the most successful seasons in program history: 7,888 (average of 14,997 and HIGH of 20,671).

All I'm reading from that marketing strategy is that they are doing a better job than we are. Why WOULDN'T we push this as a rivalry? You think we aren't giving tickets away? We made our games lower than high school prices for the last two football games and still couldn't draw dick. You bring up the other teams being at the game yesterday. We did the same damn thing with academic honors for the game before Marshall and couldn't draw dick.

Them averaging 500 for games last year is a quickly disproven lie. As to their attendance this year, they've broken the 4K mark 5 times (5 straight). We've done it once. Take off the rose colored glasses.

. . . I would hate to see what he sees if he takes off the glasses . . .

he almost landed on my daughters boyfriend, I hope he got some good pictures of it
