The Book: 2007 Football

[TheFan]

_ Louisiana 48
McNeese 13

Barring a total breakdown (penalties and turnovers), we will win big.

No way is it time to call for Coach Bustle's Job no matter what the outcome of this game!! He's a good coach and has improved the whole football PROGRAM. This year, he did what was necessary on his staff and that can't be taken lightly. He recognized we needed new ideas on offense and defense and hired new personnel. I'm not willing to give up on Coach Bustle. From the game I saw Saturday, we are an improved team. I think our record will indicate this by the end of the season. I'm frustrated with losing like everyone and would be ____ED if we lose this game but we must let the season play out and not jump ship.

The one thing I don't like is that McNeese has 2 week to prepair for this game. That means they will have some tricks plays.

Bring your Xanax and valium.

LOL!! With a Crown chaser!

I am inclined to think this will be a close game for the simple fact that McNeese is looking forward to this game and will play with alot of emotion.

Make sure you take your blood pressure meds for this one.

I was hoping someone else saw this bozo's article. He has no clue why the University changed its name. He has no clue as to the Academic Progress of our University. He has no clue as to why Lake Charles has NO Vision and Lafayette and UL has..He has no clue as to the importance of the Name change and what it has done for the University. He is probably a donut eating slob who doesn't do his homework before writing a story. Probably goes to one of the classy bars in LAKE CHARLES and gets his gossip from another irrate cowboy or cowgirl fan. He mentions ex cowboy players but can't mention Ragin Cajun Players that have come out of our program that are or have done well in the NFL and CFL.

He is just another flustered person having to live somewhere maybe he doesn't or is the only job he can get. Probably the only way people will read his articles if he defames or degrades someone, something, or some other town. By the way, has anyone ever read something derogatory about Mickey Neese or Leaky Charles from The Daily Advertiser, I certainly haven't. In Fact I learned Leaky Charles from the people of Lake Charles. If amazes me how many people from Lake Charles consider Lake Charles Boring. I know because I worked there for 12 -1/2 years and believe me I thought I was in TEXAS. Answer me this, laney, why are so many people working in your area but not living in LC. I also learned that the fine people of Sulphur don't want to be called lake charleneans ( new word), that is a NO NO from a die-hard Citizen of Sulphur.

Oh. Answer me this laney, why does the University of Louisiana have twice the enrollment as Mickey Neese.

In closing, CLASS ACT is not in your vocabulary, so learn to go after the Southland Conference Teams and towns and until your serious about becoming Division I don't expect us to lower our expectations and VISIONS.
Answer this, when was the last time a mickey neese team hosted and feed a Ragin Cajun Team. NOT.

All your ridicule and insults are meaningless, just blowing off hatred for a town and University that goes on with its way of LIFE.

I hope you find peace in Lake Charles and get laid soon.

Come on Jim, let it out and tell us how you really feel! I'm sure he wrote just what he wanted. Something that would get under our skin (at least some of us). I got a chuckle out of it. They want this "rivalry" soooo bad! Most of us could take it our leave it. Enjoy the day, the game atmosphere, and toasting the winning team (our's I hope )

They won't be the only one's playing with a lot of emotions. The Cajuns will be EXTRA hungry for a win. They will be playing hard.

Shof,
Having had to put up with all the crap in their ragged out paper over the years, I was curious if someone they would print some "Trash Talk' , it irks me to no end to let people like he and Scooty Hobbs have the right of Freedom of the Press. Then, what do you expect from SMALL TOWN, LA.
I could care less if we ever play them in any sport ever again. Helping them financially is not something I like doing.

No doubt, they will try anything and everything. Cajuns should be fired up and will not take them lightly because we want that 1st win. It will be sweet.

Geaux UL!

Wow! Now that article was just a little biased eh? But what the who, I'll bite:

LC and Laf happen to be among my many areas of expertise, having lived and worked in both fine cities. Lake Charles is rivaled only by Baton Rouge for its lovely scenery, especially west of the lake - I here rooms with a view are actually cheaper in the new casino - and the heavy metals and other pollutants in the sediment at the bottom of LC could be the raison de etre for superfund legislation. McNeese is, however, actually a fine place populated by generally friendly and helpful people. If you don't watch out, you can actually get a decent education there...I know.

Lafayette is a nicer place to live, except for the traffic. When I first moved here, I was told that there were 4 roads for 400,000 cars. There are lots more cars now. Roads, not so many. Lafayette people are, for better or worse, more likely than Lake Charleneans to drive the BMW and live beyond their means, but hey you gotta love a city with a festival every weekend. Lafayette IS more cosmolopolitan than LC and, well, Ragin' cajuns is a hands down better name than Cowboys (or Tigers, for that matter). UL is an all around good-to-great university with some excellent programs and some programs that are merely very good. Ragin Cajun athletic teams are entertaining and should be viewed, even by the objective, as on the way up.

Verdict: I like Mcneese, but I love UL; Lafayette is a really cool city, the only place in LA I would live and raise my kids. Lake Charles has a loop.

By the way, since I'm warmed up - Baton Rouge is toxic, New Orleans is a great place to get shot, Alexandria is a trailer park, and Shreveport is in Texas. Monroe, though, is quite the STD capitol it is reputed to be (but I heard that from a friend of a friend).

So there, the definitive word, indisputable truth, and fair and balance reporting which would put Fox to shame.

Carry on.

Halftime score: UL 10, McNeese 3

BUT...

Final score: UL - 34, McNeese - 10

Fenroy and Desormeaux both rush for over 100, Desormeaux passes over 100,

An aside: tailgaiting goes extremely well, McNeesers fall in love with Lafayette, many get over the "economic diversity-and-cultural-significance" envy endemic to Lake Charlyeans with regard to Lafayette. The city gains 3,000 new residents who have Texas accents.

"it irks me to no end to let people like he and Scooty Hobbs have the right of Freedom of the Press. Then, what do you expect from SMALL TOWN, LA."

Jim: You are taking this way too seriously! That article was written for Gary Laney's readership not yours. I think it served its purpose, and thank God we have Freedom of the Press because it does not exist on some of UL's other boards. And, I mean to the extent of Laney's posts themselves being edited - - EDITED - - by your own moderators because they did not like the content.

I may not like what sports writers say and often disagree, but I respect what they say and that would include your own Dan McDonald. I think he does a fine job and yes he says things that irritate me, but that is why he is good; he stimulates discussion. I am also glad that Dan has the "freedom of the press" because that is something dissenting posters don't always get the privilege of on your message boards.

"Sometimes we criticize in others what we hate the most about ourselves"

Enjoy the game. It should be a good one.

What other board? There is another board besides Ragin Pagin?
