I’m so glad we kicked all those field goals to lose. Surprise!

If we kick the FG instead of going for it on 4th down really early in the game, we would have won.

[ZoomZoom]

Maybe a legendary comeback is out there.

Cajuns ULMost did it.

[covcaj]

You make no sense.

Very few teams "ever" have a complete season without a letdown.

All those who would have complained about a 10-2 season and conference championship at the beginning of the season, please raise your hands.

as SAID before . . . . . . uncanny how the predictor always assumes the alternate course would have produced only a positive result . . .

. . . and as silly that would be, you might as well have each also b bop around spastically like our recent dem VP candidate . . .

[barisaxman]

What are we complaining about—the “magic” phrase was uttered several times last night….
“All of our goals are STILL in front of us!”

[cajun4life]

Cajuns ULMost did it.

Pretty much sums it up.

[Big Buds]

Yeah. There is hope.

I get that. I really wanted to get ranked and with the teams that lost ahead of us, a win last night would have put us in the CFP/AP Top 25. 3 out of 5 years is really special. Who knows when this opportunity will come again.

10-2 is exactly where I’d thought we’d finish up. Almost to the T how I saw it going so far.

But this game was one that should have never been close. We were absolutely putrid on offense the majority of the game. We actually forgot there was even a 1st qtr to show up for.

I think everyone is ok with getting beaten. No one is ok with losing. There is a huge difference.

We have become a good football program. The opportunity to get ranked will be there every season.

But for G5 programs, getting ranked will require winning with style and having a power program win.

Had we beaten more teams like we beat stAte we would’ve been ranked.

[Cajunrunner]

I know everyone is upset, especially with the way the 1st half went, coming out completely flat and digging ourselves a 21 point hole.

That said…personally, I was expecting another 6-7 season, or maybe a 7-6 one.

IF, and it’s still a big if, but if we can run off two wins to finish and host the SBC Champ game, I’ll be excited. It sucks that the chance for the “magical” season is gone, as now there’s probably no path to finish the season ranked Top 25, but there’s still the potential for a 12-2 season. We looked at Troy the past two seasons as the class of the West and the Belt, they were 12-2 and 11-3 the last two seasons.

Doesn’t change the fact that we wake up ranked today had we won last night.
