What's wrong, weren't up to a direct response, ho?

You're calling people a ho?

[zephyr]

Upon what do you base your claim that no opponent to date has even close to the talent of Louisiana? How much time have you spent analyzing oppents’ level of talent

He tends to overvalue our talent compared to others. Especially since the late Napier years

When the team is 6-1 with a P4 win and you can’t bring yourself to give the coach any credit….it has to be something.

Amazing feeling to beat them on their field. I got pumped for this one when I saw Chris Smith’s tweet pregame saying, “Coastal you can’t run today.” Good to see that guys like that haven’t forgotten the opportunity that was taken from them and were ready for the 2024 Cajuns to get some vengeance.

Plenty of things to improve upon, but I think this was a game that most Cajun fans looked at and said “please just win.” Mission accomplished and to put it away in backbreaking fashion was too damn good.

I’m sure with a lot of good, the staff will have several negative things on film to review with the guys. Few I noticed: missed tackles galore (again), dropped passes, procedure penalties, and a really bad after the play personal foul. Interesting thing with the drops was I think we had 4 and all different targets. Ben has trust in a lot of guys, and hopefully the guys can reward him for that going forward. Needs to keep slinging it all over the field. The drive with the late personal foul call was really our most disappointing on defense. Gutted on the ground and just didn’t show composure. Bayliss nearly picked up a penalty and then next play we throw a guy down way late. Another small gripe but please no to the gun celebrations. You can say, “oh that’s soft” or “let them celebrate a big play” but the fact remains we are flipping a coin on getting a penalty doing that. Easy teaching moment for Des and his coaches. No giving away big plays for something stupid.

There were a couple mind boggling series playcalling wise, but I’m seeing definite improvements out of Des himself. For example, much of the negatives I listed above are execution issues. Guys put in a position to succeed and not always doing so. Des’ first two years there were just as many head scratchers out of the coaches than the players. Again, not to say there aren’t any out of the coaching staff now, but if you look at the last 3 weeks, if guys make the plays they were put in position to make, we likely aren’t sweating out victories until the final minutes.

Well said.

Well said.

Chris Smith has to be happy

Guess the team…

The failure to even conduct a coaching search is looking really bad, especially for that kind of $. Maybe “Whale” will throw us a bone and donate to buy out “coach” if this keeps heading downhill

Names removed, but it just sounds so familiar.

No takers? Straight off CCU’s fan page Saturday after the game. Seen very similar things posts here in the past. They’re going thru pretty much the same thing UL is, just a year behind.

The reason I posted this was simple. RP is no different than any other non university sanctioned fan site. There’s a myriad of opinions from fire the coach to inner circle of coach/staff, defend at all costs, and all imaginable points between the two.

It’s all good until censorship like university run sites steps in. So just get along and enjoy the moment.

It’s like today, Sunday. You don’t have to go to church. You get to. It’s a choice.

When has this program ever had as many draft picks as we have had in the last 10 years? The talent to win the SBC has been on campus for a decade. It’s not over valued, it’s what is actually on the field.

Yes, I enjoy wins. They are tough to come by, especially on the road. But I want to see a complete game, for once.

Am I celebrating bowl eligibility, hell no. Big deal, I expect this program to win the SBC West and play for the SBC Championship and in turn a CFP slot. That’s my expectations, if y’all are ok with “just being bowl eligible” maybe adjust you expectations a little.

Here we go.

It's not about becoming Bowl Eligible. It's called setting a goal. Accomplishing a goal, a milestone, a target. By game 7 we're bowl eligible. Next goal, knock out Texas State. Yea, we've never lost to them, not once in the last decade, but damn near everyone thinks this game defines how far we will be able to go.

G5 bid to the CFP. Rest assured, we all know this.

My expectations are to beat Tx State...don't care how it's done...

[Policarp]

Et only 10 days to go til next game. Sigh.

Dont understand the negativity.....trends are up, enjoy the moment!!!

Geaux Cajuns!!!

Six-n-one is fun.

Tulane is still feeling very fortunate.

Have we had way more draft picks than the better sun belt teams? How about the last few years after the portal and NIL?

Your logic is non existent.
