Live Game Talk Final: Louisiana 31, Eastern Michgan 34

[apb]

I wanna talk about schools like ULM, or San Jose St. etc.

I can handle losing. I think programs like ours have to go through cycles of rebuilding. What is hard for me to accept is a future where we lock ourselves into five-year contracts of failure, cater exclusively to wealthy donors, and neglect the heartbeat of the program: the fans.

We can change for the better. We can own the name, the mascot, the game day atmosphere. These aren’t cosmetic they’re foundational. They’re what build loyalty, identity, and pride.

But if we keep losing, keep ignoring the average fan, and keep pretending that donor dollars alone can sustain relevance, we’re not just treading water we’re drifting toward the fate of programs like ULM Forgotten. Hollow. Irrelevant.

That is my warning!

Well said.

The BEST thing about NIL there is zero need for the long standing excuse for extensions because “the coach needs to be able to assure a recruit he’ll still be here” when there is zero guarantee of player loyalty.

Just a little reminder here. In his first road start as a Fr. QB, Jake lost to a bad MAC school too.

Not saying JB is another Jake, but I would cut the guy some slack for a little while.

From the penalties, to the times of poor effort, to the questionable game management, we’ve got plenty of bigger fish to fry.

QBR today, 23.2. To his credit, better than 4.8 last week and against Rice in limited play.

JB?

[Turbine]

We got it. It’s not your point it’s how ridiculously relentless you are about it. Hell you were saying it early in most games last year, then you would disappear if we won. It sure seems personal.

Exactly, he said it at every incomplete pass last year.

The broken recording aspect is more than enough reason for SlickRick to make his recommendation.

JB?

sorry, I meant DB. Too much Jim Beam tonight!

Bull***t, he's a second year QB with six games of experience playing the worst team in FBS football.

If they are the worst team in FBS what does that make us
