...staying fired up isn't gonna do anything put increase your already high blood pressure.

Gee Rhin-o...How did you know about my HBP? Is it that obvious?

_ I was on the student side this weekend, and there was plenty of standing and cheering going on. The band did an excellent job of keeping the fans on their feet. It also seemed like the student side was fuller than I remember it being last year, hopefully it was not my imagination and that this a trend that will continue. _

I was in sect. F on the home side & we made our share of making noise in the the area around me. The band did a pretty good job the second half but it seemed like they weren't into it & wasn't playing much the first half unless I was too much into the game & wasn't paying attention to the music.

_ I agree with the post above, Im guessing some just came for the shirt or to act like this football game was like a bar downtown. I had some turbo sluts behind my crew that werent paying any attention and kept muttering things like, did we win last week, and im bored, so we kept yelling and being extremely involved until they got aggravated and left. Thats sad, hell i think they were actually dressed to go out. What a waste of a seat at the game. We need some more fans in the stands, not someone cruising for some tail. _

I respectfully disagree with your post. How was that a waste of a seat at the game? Last that I checked, we were about 10,000 short of a sellout. It looked like there were plenty of empty seats to me.

LSU and other big time football schools draw 90,000 plus at their games. I would veture to say that 40-50% of those fans are there for the party and because going to the game is the cool thing to do in their respective city. This is something that I wish that we had at Cajun Field. Just because someone doesn't know the ins and outs of the Ragin Cajun football team, doesn't mean that they shouldn't be allowed into the game. Maybe if those "turbo sluts" had a good experience at the game last Saturday, they would come back this weekend and the next. My bet is that they might come out and tailgate for the McNeese game and not come into the game.

We complain about not having fan support and we complain about people tailgating and not coming into the game.......but when they come into the game we criticize them and say that they are not the type of fans that we need. We are not in a position where we can turn away fans for any reason. We need to put people in the stands and you can't have it both ways.

_ It's time to get rid of all the fairweather fans. If you are going to tailgate and not come to the game, don't come at all. We don't want you here. If you are going to leave at halftime "to go watch the LSU game", don't come at all. We don't want you here. I'd rather have a small group of fans who want to be there and support their team than the cr@p I saw Saturday night. JMO. _

I pays my money and I leaves when I want to. Yous don't likes seeing me leaves, don't look.

_ Its Monday afternoon boys. The team put this one out of their minds last night. Its time all of us do the same. _____ing about it and staying fired up isn't gonna do anything put increase your already high blood pressure.

I want all of you to go back to the poll thread that was up a few weeks ago, and look at how you voted. I think the majority of the people that voted had us going 8-4,not 12-0 or 11-1, or eve 10-2. I thought that this Ohio game would be a swing game, could win or lose it. We lost it, Big F'ing deal, but that's all that matters. Would it make you guys feel better if we would have come back from the half-time defecit, and still lost? It shouldn't. Lets look forward to beating the crap out of McNeese, and then wearing it out on Troy. then we're 2-2 going to UCF, and can knock them the hell out too. _

Good post.

We should have won. We didn't. Fix the problem. Take care of business this week.

_ I'm looking forward to the game and visiting w/ familiar and new folks. I have no idea who will win. I hope neither team suffers injury(ies) that will harm that team when it starts playing w/i its conference. I hope the weather cooperates.

It oughta be fun. _

I agree with you, Chris.

Cajuns 49
'Pokes 21

[RedBug58]

Cajun offense has been tested against 2 very good 1-A teams and has proven to be potent.......
Cajuns have played 2 games and have had time to correct mistakes........
Cajun defense has only been average (in my opinion)

McNeese has only played one game against an average 1-AA opponent
McNeese offense appears to be fairly strong
McNeese will have had 2 weeks to prepare

McNeese will score on the Cajuns, but not as much as the Cajuns will score.

Cajuns 38
Cowboys 21

Cajuns will be satified with the win
Cowboys will be happy just to get away from pollution, unions, & gambling for a while......

Rhineaux,

That is the best post I have seen in a long while on here. FYI I had us going 9-3 with losses to Troy, SC and Tenn. And reserving bowl prediction. Now the boys have to make up one.
I think what upset me is Ohio appears to be about the same as us and we got out executed in the second half.

I think you added a few extra letters there bud.

Just tell people that its not a library! It's okay to be loud on EVERY PLAY, not just 3rd down.
