The Book: 2007 Football

[FLcowboyfan]

Thats pretty funny....The ultimate goal of the New Orleans Bowl...Sounds like one of those bowls where a team can be 5-7 and still go to a bowl. I think i would rather go to 1aa championship and play a team like App State and get some recognition. Sunbelt =1AA

[TheFan]

First thing you can't not go to a bowl with a 5-7 record. I believe that the N.O. bowl had a higher TV and attendance than the 1-aa championship game.

McNeese 23
Cajuns 38

_ I would agree that Monroe isn't a true rivalry. I get the sense that we beat them just so we don't embarass ourselves (sound familar, McNeese?).

Please tell me you didn't just post that. What's the cajun record against the warhawks over the past several years, especially the last 4? C'mon bro.

3-4 were close. The brutal beating administered by the Cajuns in 2005, trumps all others.

If I wanted to go to a 1AA championship game I would attend the high school state playoff championship game

I would say the beat down that they put on us at home last year with a winning season and potential bowl game birth on the line was a very close second. That was terrible.

We may think that we have a better program than them, but it would be nice if we could beat them consitently to prove it.

From discussion on the radio over the last couple of days, my understanding is McNeese is getting a guarantee to come as a one time event, so take that money out of the total. In addition, McNeese gets their 5000 ticket allotment at half price. Conference games, or the Ohio game this year, had no guarantee and no discounted ticket pricing. Concessions I couldn't even estimate, but I'm fairly sure if we ever served beer in the stadium it would be about three times what we presently collect. :-)

I did just post that, BROSEPH. I think it's embarrassing to lose to Monroe. There's more of a rivalry with LSU, Tech than there is with the hawks/indians/south arkansas all stars. When I said "beat them", the "try to" was implied, BROSEPH.

Don't deny the fact there is much more fan-hate directed towards LSU and Tech than Monroe. We probably hate McKnees more than Monroe. C'mon bro.

[Cajunbander]

Battle of the Bands ??

naw. we're a completely different kind of band than southern is.

Seems like some folks think USL or U Of L (at least usl was unique instead of being lumped together with 2 or 3 other schools) is so much above McNeese. Well you guys should be happy to play a 1aa school...you may win one, but then again probably not. McNeese football owned USL in the past and will again this weekend. Sunbelt football = 1AA

Other than Monroe, I know of no other UL-* team. Name the others for me?

We're very happy play a 1AA school. We beat lots of 1A schools, too. Say, what's your record against 1A competition in the last 4 years? Right.
Let's have a look.. mmk?
2006:
L South Florida 41-10
L Toledo 41-7

2005:
L Southern Miss 48-20

2004:
W FIU 27-30 (GASP! But, then again, who HASN'T destroyed FIU lately?)

2003:
L Kansas St. 55-14



The time period you refer to as "in the past" was sometime right before Jesus was born, but after man invented fire in terms of college football time. So, please, shut up with this "past" stuff.

Fellow Sunbelt conference team Middle Tennessee put up 40+ on Louisville. After the game on Saturday, I'll be happy to revisit your performance against the Sun Belt. It took you four games and three years to match that point output against 1A competition.
