Live Game Talk Final: Louisiana 12, Rice 14

[Swamp]

Crowd must have looked good on tv, I don't hear JMV squawking about the place being empty. Place was rockin'. For those who weren't able to make it in person, you would have been Very impressed, it was an awesome turn out with tons of flags flying in the RV section and at tailgating. Tailgating lined the outer perimeter (fence line). It honestly felt like more than the announced 22,000+. More like 25,000.

One more thing, a shout out to MH for making all the sororities miss this. F'n unbelievable, but true. $65 million dollar renovation and you find a way to keep THE SORORITIES away. You need to be GONE, TUESDAY.

Not really, stands looked rather empty on tv,

Nice to see that we can pass the ball efficiently.

This did not age well!

Yes, plenty of empty seats. About what I expected. Labor day, plenty of marquee matches on TV. After that horrendous effort last night, especially on offense, McNeese fans may outnumber us.

If that's the case then UL needs to send up the drone.

Any statement like "place looked empty" is so off the mark it's laughable.

Lots to unpack.

Positives are the renovations look great. The defense figured out the option in the second half. And it didn’t rain

Negatives? The hype. Not sure how it all came about but most bought into it. I did too.

The QB and receiver play was the worst it’s been under Des. They had no clue and for an offensive minded coach, how do you explain that after months to prepare?

With the ball and a chance to win, I wanted so badly for Beale to get some redemption. Just get some yards and get a FG. Complete a pass and hopefully we break one. Dude went 0-6.

While I picked us to win, I always think of worst case scenarios. Can’t help myself. What needs to happen for the game to go sideways? Last night, seemed like everything I thought of played out. Feel good about what we’ve been told about this team, but what if the offense is out of sync? What if we turn the ball over? What if Rice has success running the ball and controls the clock? Check, check and check. Just watch and shake your head.

Wow. You obviously weren't there. "Marquee matches"? Who gives a s&*( about any other Program.

I was there. You're not being objective. Capacity is 30k. Plenty empty endzone seats, east side. My season tickets are in 126, next sections over were basically empty.

That end zone assessment is off the mark. Yes, seats available but in no way weak. And you forgot to mention student section b/c it doesn't fit your narrative. It was the best it's been since before Covid. Huge student turnout, and that was without half the greek.

As for the new Cajuns beer, well, $2 Natty, we miss you. New Cajuns beer is more than GITM. A $20 bill gets you two 12oz. cans. A $20 bill back when we were in the Top 25 would damn near get you a 12 pack. Imagine going back to your seat with a 12 pack.
