Hud was nowhere near a train wreck with the program. It is in worse shape than now than it ever was under Hud. Only tenure worse than now is the Baldwin era.
    Calm down.

    That is dramatic.
    The other question is "If we win, what does that look like?". I think a loss is more damaging than a win is positive. We are SUPPOSED to beat a back-fill fcs callup team, right? PErception-wise a loss is huge and a win is meh.

    A win is a sigh of relief from most people. And more propaganda fonder for MH.
    A loss is detrimental to reputation and perception.

    Hooray.

    Little dramatic, cat. Mike took over an unprecedented situation here.

    Maggard handed you the set back on a silver platter. What did you expect?

Couple that with Boomers dying off and you have a major issue on the horizon. Last thing we need is to take steps backward on the fields/courts of play.
    People in Acadiana have already concluded they don’t “need” Cajun sports. Lots more things to do these days in this area than even a few years ago. Flip side is they have forgotten how important university is to the area. Challenge is to remind them and to have folks enjoy our events.

    Have to admit that I am the fan you are describing. I am 55 years old. I have always been a casual football fan. Only go when I am given a free ticket but my preference is to stay home on Saturday in my Lazy Boy and watch what I think are better quality games on tv. Doesn't matter the conference, just the match-ups. Will watch the Cajuns on tv if they are the best game on at the time. Currently only have season tickets for softball and never miss a home series. The games aren't long and the girls are athletic and fun to watch. My wife and I travel to some out of town games that are within a 4 hour driving distance. Used to have basketball season tickets until the price got too crazy the past couple of years. Probably going to get crapped on for making this post.
