_ Guess its time for the all knowing Stevie P to inform us that we can still become Bowl Eligable.... Why do they put that guy on the radio.. _

I understood exactly what Stevie P mean't at the time he stated it; mathematically UL still could qualify for a bowl. He didn’t say they would. Sometimes people hear what they want to hear and that's it!

_ What did the commercial say?

It says they support U"LL" athletics, a statement which by definition shows they know nothing about UL.

Yesterday was a kick to the gut on what the last two seasons could have been with McGuire at QB. With first team snaps UL wins 8 games in 2009, wins yesterday, and beats Troy last week.

Would Brad have played defense and special teams too? WKU never punted the ball once. Brad at QB was going to remedy that?

I'm not sure Chris deserves our 2009 and 2010 losses single-handedly. I think Brad was utilized very well last year in the red zone. Chris brought the ball down field pretty well. If I were looking at "real issues", I would look to special teams and defensive breakdowns attributing to more losses than our QBs. I would also look to WRs last year that had balls thrown directly in their hands and still couldn't figure out how to hang on. Our play calling on offense was also weak.

I was good with Brad or Chris. Why are the entire season results attributed to them? It was Cayenne and we just don't have the guts to admit it.

For some reason with Chris the whole team including coach Bustle will roll over and let an early turnover set the tone for the whole game. Brad would never let that happen. Two whole seasons down the drain. I didn't mention WKU but with a fired up UL offense crossing paths with the UL defense yes WKU punts.

You are right that many times the QB gets too much credit and to much blame. But I do think in a number of games last year and this year we probably do not have as many three and outs with Brad at the helm so the oppositions offense gets their hands on the ball fewer times. Obviously that is just speculation but it is my gut feeling.

I did not follow every series yesterday but can anyone tell me if or how many three and out series we had yesterday?

_ Town Square Media: "Give me the money"

I can't believe they didn't make Capital One recut the UL commercial.

A commercial should generate good publicity not bad.

Shame on you TSM. _

When Capital One gets no new business for their money, they'll ask, "Why?"

Then someone who's on the ball will suggest, "Well, I could make one suggestion..."

I don't want to state whether Brad or Chris is the better QB. I don't know.

The fact of the matter is we were plus 5 in turnovers (+3 INT, 2 onsides recoveries) yesterday and lost the game.

We scored on 4/13 Possessions. 3 TD's and 1 FG.

Ohio scored on 6/11 Possessions. 5 TD's and 1 FG.

I think Brad may be our better option, but nothing can be pulled from the game yesterday to prove it.

How and the hell is it even possible to have 450+ yrds of offense, +3 in turnover margin, recover 2 onside kicks, and lose the game by a touchdown. That just doesn't even make sense. I am not a fan, a matter of fact I pull for everyone in Louisiana except UL@L but my God the coaches must have tried to lose this game. That is a formula for a win no matter who the opponent is and no matter the talent gap.

Except around here. lol

A lot of us were asking the same question. I honestly still do not know how we lost it. If not for a fumble on the snap, we probably would have at least tied it up late in the game down near the Ohio red zone. This team is just so used to losing that it's almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. A losing mentality is hard to overcome.

My son's high school team is going through the same thing. Teams with a losing tradition sometimes just find ways to lose.

[ULwarhawksRULE]

lol yeah. Well when I looked at the box score yesterday I could not believe they lost the game. I saw the score a couple of times in the first half and I thought the game would have been won easily (esp with the early pics), I guess Ohio came out and played better in the 2nd half.
