Discharged from hospital last night. He should be fine from what I am reading. I suppose we will know more today

Amazing isn’t it! Thankful he’s up and moving. Football is probably still secondary this AM.

Wasn't always pretty but a W is a W.

Best news of the night was K.Martin being discharged. Very scary situation.

AMEN!

Last nights game was a napier type game. Find a way to win. Period.

Congrats Geaux Cajuns!!

Saw a picture of him this morning on X with the team on the plane home last night.

That was the best news of the night. Seeing the hit and seeing the reaction of the trainers, I dont think anyone would have expected that outcome.

Solid win in tight game last night. Talent wise, TX St. has come a long way and speedy. No longer hapless. Think we've knocked them out of the running for the SBC West. But we're making great strides this year, too. Our kicking game was huge. We won the turnover battle. Defense made the stops when they had to. I don't know how the in stadium game atmosphere was, but for a TV game, it kept you glued to your seat. Will be interesting to learn the viewership numbers next week.

I feel like this was a defining game in Dez career. Was it a big win over a big P5? No. Was it a big win over a ranked team? No. And while it was a big conference win, it wasn't that either, necessarily. I've still been on a "jury is still out on Dez". It's a very important year 3, where the first 2 years were, let's say, less than ideal. It was easy to see where he was falling short. Making mistakes. His limited ability to get coaches outside his personal friends/ex teammates/coaches. And even though this year we still saw a lot of areas that needed fixing, it seemed to me that he had reached another level. Still a bit leary, because of the level of completion, there seemed something different about this team and staff. And last night, in a game that was very important in order to stay in the race for a conference title, against a pretty good team, on the road, in a game nationally broadcasted . . . we didn't just show up. And yes, despite still seeing areas that need to be fixed, we're not just showing up and winning . . . we're learning how to FINISH! I'm so damn excited to see how this season ends! I believe we took a "next step". Every game is important from here on out, and none may be bigger than that ULM game, believe it or not. Running the table is a distinct reality. A playoff spot is still a possibility I believe. This season is starting to feel . . . special! This year just feels different. Either way . . . . . . GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!
LETS F'ing FINISH!!!!!!!!

Complete honesty:
ALTHOUGH I absolutely love Des, and did 3 years ago, I did NOT think he was ready.
This season has wonderfully proven me wrong and I ain’t ashamed to say it!

Think of all the times we have ____ the bed in games like this on national TV. It’s definitely leadership that changes that.

Now, if we could just tackle better and eliminate false starts.
