hell they filled a wheelbarrow up just in the UL-Monroe game....

I saw where Bustle said they called 3 more longer passes that MikeD had to tuck under and run for lack of protection. I suspect (as stated earlier) we will be able to protect better against non-sec defensive lines....

If we catch the ball this year, our passing game will be fine and a nice complement to an awesome running attack.

We (fans) need to stop looking for the warts and enjoy the nice legs.....

_ It is interesting your choice of photos. That is vs. LA Tech the week after we played USC in a close one the last time. Unfortunately, we remember how flat we played against Tech. I sure hope we didn't put so much into playing USC that we play flat again this time vs. Ohio. If we do, the results will likely be the same as they were then.

Geaux Cajuns!!!!! Get fired up for the Bobcats! _

I remember that game v. LTU very well. I got thrown out of it. In a fit of rage, after one of the many horrible calls that prevented us from winning the game, i inadvertantly threw an empty plastic water bottle on the field. Oops. I new i was in for it, i saw the occifers moving up the stands from the field, and met them at the top of the stands. When asked what happened, I replied "It was a crime of passion occifer". I then led myself out of the stadium. I wasn't going to argue. I then thought i was getting over on them when walking around the athletic department because i could still watch the game on the screen. then i realized that i was missing out on listening to the sweet sounds of BOP and all the beer back at the truck.

It was the first semester that my buddy's younger borther and his friends were at UL, and most of us were beginning to graduate. After the game, I gave them a long drunken lecture that they still laugh at, telling them that we were passing the torch to them and it was their responsibility to continue to carry it with Ragin Cajun pride. I'll remember that game for a long time.

I bet they lost it when you got to the part about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.

Parts of the game were moral victories. I did not expect to be in the game at half. I did not expect to tie the last fourty-eight minutes of the game. For us to give up a quick fourteen then play lights out like we did says the Cajun coaches had the players out of position early on but to their credit made the right adjustments. The moral victory was they didn't wait till half time to make the adjustments. This coaching staff can think on their feet. We never forgot who we were playing and it led to no turnovers. We never forgot who we were playing and it cost us six points. I wish we would have kicked two field goals instead of going for it on fourth down and failing. With another six points we could have gone for it on fourth and tied it up in the last three minutes with a two point conversion. Field goals are big because they allow onside kick tries to get extra possessions. If we had the ball just one more time I think we win. Mike is the man. Cheri is a bat out of hell. Fenroy is Fenroy. The O Line is the O Line. The kicker for USC will play pro ball even if it is just kickoffs. If the coaches were not so dead set on a balanced attack UL could easily lead the country in rushing. Mike completing sixty-two percent of his passes is a big big moral victory. USC has very good secondary and linebackers. Not many teams will complete sixty-two percent of the passes against USC. Not many teams will run for a quarter G against them either. UL will get a lot of interceptions this year. And now that I got rid of my jitters I predict UL 38 Ohio 24

After hearing what coaches Bustle and Anderson stated at the lunchon, they don't care about moral victories. The staff focused on the mistakes Sunday night and didn't talk about moral victories. The coaches were happy with the effort given by the kids, but there were too many mistakes at critical moments. These kids will not make the same mistake as last year coming off the Houston game or at least that is their focus.

What in the heck is a moral victory? Sorry to sound so negative but “YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME” ( Herm Edwards 2000 and something) I personally think that the losing mentality at the university, on local radio, in the newspaper, and throughout the community has got to stop. Sure I thought that our guys played their asses off and I give them props for that, but I will never be happy with a loss and I am pretty sure the players won’t be either.

and thank goodness the players won't be; 'moral victories' only get mentioned by losing teams--plain ole victories are what they're practicing and playing for. and i predict a lot of plain ole victories for the cajuns this year.
