Live Game Talk Final: Louisiana 12, Rice 14

[wscoog]

This game reminded me of the southern miss game a couple of years ago. Playing a physically inferior team but offense too predictable and lackluster. I see very little misdirection and baiting of defensive players to the wrong positions. I don’t recall any short crossing routes that are hard to defend and good for quarterback confidence. A poster on the rice board says he doesn’t expect to win another game this season. Perry in the open field is so dangerous why not try him on a wheel route?

O-line was pushed backwards a lot. A new backup QB needs to be found. Catching was horrendous. Play calling was bad as usual.

Positive: Kicker is solid!
Heard from brother in law that the stadium was nice. Production value for the game was bad.

Why dont we switch to a different system, option, veer, etc, to catch our opponents off guard.
Always seems to happen to us., no film=no prep???

……I thought that Rice had as creative an offense as I have seen….Veer, Zone read, power sweep……think many college and HS staffs will visit Rice to learn the offense…..no wonder this coach has had as successful a career as his record shows!

I'm watching our game again and if you wanna see how bad Shelton was last night, watch the replay. WH persisted again and again and again targeting him. It got so bad that Samson in the 4th qtr. visibly couldn't believe his self!

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.

Someone on the other board said you mentioned my name. Since you did they had around 35K-40K tailgating and only 22K went into the stadium that holds around 32K. So yeah it wasn't close to being full. I watched the replay on TV and it wasn't a good look.

Just seeing your comment. I can't get the notifications to let me know when responses are made on my post, so I have to go back and find where I posted whatever.

Don't worry I wasn't gonna forget the JMV assessment of "it's the end of Cajuns Athletics as we know it". 72.9% of seats sold. In my book, not too shabby. I went back and watched the replay as well and clearly the drone was in the air and showed a lot of open space, but that's because everyone has to wonder around and go to the hill and show up late as hell. Sure it wasn't as good as I wanted to see it, but being there, even the roll up to the Swamp was f'n awesome. It was electric and a new day for Louisiana. I'm pumped up, Stadium is incredible and we are on the war path to Greatness. Time to realize how many minds are working on this.

I remember back in 1982, the USL Band, with me in it, went to Houston for the first time to play RICE. Their band, at that time, reminded me of Stanford's band, running out on the field in bathing suits with masks and snorkels. They did a Beach Boys show. Then they yelled at us, calling us a "high school" band.
