The Book: 2007 Football

[srevere51]

The fairweather speech was not directed towards you I saw the I'd tather go hunting post and used it as an example, it was directed towards everyone who leave early during the game simply because we were down.

I am right there with you and I agree accepting "Almost" from the football program should never be tolorated, however, from a fans point of view,
Accepting "well I will support them when they start winning" should never be tolorated either. I have heard this for years and years and its enough.

With all that said, yeah it isnt easy to swallow, I am still boiling with rage. Especially when a lot of people on these boards thought this would be a no shot game for McNeese(I think the team thought this as well, since they played so flat). That this was not a rival game, well they were mistaken, its not a rivalry unless the other team wins. I still think McNeese holds the win loss record and had won the last 11 or of 15.

I will be there next week, and I know that it is tough to swallow next week playing Troy, I think we may have 10,000 in the stands. I sure hope that there will be more, but its unlikely.

_ I left Huntsville, TX at 12:30pm to drive four hours to Lafayette, this is after only four hours of sleep on Friday night. I must say that I am more than aggravated, to believe that I wasted that much time, money, and energy to see that game. There is only so many times that a product can be dissappointing before people give up on it. I'm tired of looking at UL with rose-colored glasses and thinking that things are better than what they are, not just in sports but with the university overall. _

AMEN!

For me - Over 20 years of this mess!

Amen, if there is a bad turnout of fans, looks like I am buying multiple general admission tickets to help with attendance. They better prepare well, or be embarrased like Oklahoma State was.

_ You are blaming Zeebart for the loss? Cajun fans do not need to start turning on each other. _

He isn't a Cajun fan. He has never posted anything positive about this program. He only comes here when things are bad (and after last night they are very bad).

Pls tell me this is a misquote. Pls tell me you really don't believe this? First, the year is over, it doesn't matter if we win 6 games or none, this lost to McNeese at home. There isn't much difference btwn IA and IAA???? Are you kidding me? You should rephrase that statement to read there is not much difference btwn a good IAA team and a bad IA team playing in a bad conference.

And to all of the others on this board who cockstrutted around all week and saying, 'we would never play in Lake Charles', and 'we moved up to IA b/c it was right for us' and our facilities are so much better'..... take a good long hard look at this program. It is a mediocre program playing in the worst conference in IA. And what do you have to hang your hat on? NOTHING!...Nothing but to go around and say we are Div IA, with the hope of going to some low life bowl game (never) that absolutely noone gives a darn about!

BTW, I would much rather be McNeese and have a chance to play in a playoff. Good luck to you guys.

First, the year is NOT over, even though it feels like it. Second, if you would much rather be McNeese, fine! Go join them! I am disgusted by the sloppy play and embarrassing loss by the Cajuns. I have reluctantly come to the realization that Bustle is not the coach to bring us to the next level. But any discussion about dropping down to D1-AA will not fly here. I, and I think most on this board, would rather drop the football program altogether than go down to a lower level. We just need to raise the level of commitment from the (new) administration. We cannot accept this level of performance.

Stop with the fair weather fan stuff, its borish and pitiful. Besides, fair weather fans come and go with the ups and downs of a program. They stop coming and supporting one year after a conference championship and bowl win.

Frustrated fans are fans that have never experienced highs, and NO, we have had no highs in this program. We have nothing....NOTHING to hang our hat on since we moved up to IA. Yeah maybe a win or two when the moons align and the other QB throws 9 picks and basically gives us the game. Face it, we are who we are (a bad Div IA school in an even worse Div IA conference)...not accepting it is just plain stupidity on your part.

Yeah, last night was his wet dream. No doubt he is reveling in our misery and enjoying every second of it. I have no use for scum like him.

Yeah I have to completely agree

So what do you propose we do, genius? Let's hear your brilliant suggestions. Or do you just want to "accept who we are" and stop trying to improve? BTW, our "even worse" conference beat Big 10 and Big 12 schools this past weekend.

And your wait till next year, and next year, and next year, attitude is being a fan?

That helps!
