When you use UL.L, it tends to screw with ones concentration.

UL Lafayette football and Ricky Bustle


or


Notre Dame football and Charlie Weiss

Neither, Lloyd Carr has the worst situation right now. True that Weis did just lose to Michigan, but Weis won't lose his job at the end of the season and unfortunatly Bustle probably won't either. Carr on the other hand needs to pull a rabbit out of his @#$ and make sure that rabbit is made of solid gold. Carr is out of Michigan unless something utterly unheard of happens.

_ I agree with you about Desmo, but if we insist on running the zone option/spread, he gives us our best chance at success. _

You're right that if we run this type of offense then Desmo is the man for the QB job. However, my complaint/issue is, if you have a guy like Hundley (or whomever it may happen to be) who is a pure drop back QB, and you knew that when you recruited him, then wouldn't you want an OC who could run not just one type of offense, but mulitiple types so that when one part of the machine is not working you could stick in another part and adjust to fit that particular style. That's all I'm saying. It was obvious that what we were doing was not working, so change it up.

It is going to be very interesting to see what we do this Saturday with Fenroy more than likely out. Will we throw more? We should. We should be using the tight ends more, but for some reason we don't. We shall see.

_ We don't know if he tried or did not try but if the kid does not want to be here then let him go. i'm sure at this point the last thing bustle needs to worry about is if his back up QB is happy with his situation. i see where you are coming from with the control thing. But the way i see it is that hundley just gave up on his team b/c he was not happy. We don't need those kind of players right now with the position we are in. Heaven forbid something happen to mike but i would much rather have connor take over b/c at least we know he wants to be here. _

Crazycajun you are rediculous! Do you really think Hundley did not want to be on this team.. he would not have chosen UL over numerous other offers and stuck with it until now if he did not want to be on the team. It is obvious that he is just frustrated with the coaching situation and believes he should be starting, now I don't condone quitting, but give Hundley the benefit of the doubt. Now hear this, it's good to have faith in your head coach, but only for so long. Just because you are the head coach of a football team does not mean you know all. It merely means you have the power to "know all". How about an example with the New Orleans Saints some years back. When Mike Ditka was head coach and he was starting people like Billy Joe Tolliver and others over Jake Delhomme all those years when everyone was screaming that Delhomme was clearly the better QB. Everytime he would get playing time, whether it be preseason games or not, he performed and you had New Orleans fans in the dome chanting his name during some points of the season to put him in. This has happened numerous teams in all sports with all teams. Why must you think that RICKEY BUSTLE of all people is the God of football and knows who the best qb is. Maybe, just maybe, John Hundley WAS and IS a better qb than mike. We will never know now, because our head coach did not do what he was supposed to do. Mike is not getting paid, he is not a pro athlete that can cry when he gets pulled out. If he was not performing against a DII school, you yank him and give your backup a try... simple as that.

Good luck Hundley, I watched you at STM and you had a bright future, hopefully you choose to come back to UL or transfer somewhere that a coach will see your talent.

Crazycajun, quit wining about quitters, the cajuns just blew there chance at holding a crowd the rest of the season.

Bustle has to go.

The backup for the McNeese game would have been Conner Morel... not Hundley.

_ The backup for the McNeese game would have been Conner Morel... not Hundley. _

Well for one, it was listed that Hundley is the backup, even said it in the Advertiser.

and secondly, if Conner Morel was the backup, so be it, give him a chance! The point is, when something is not working, you try new options, put mike at wr as we have done in the past.. just to switch things up.

I don't think the qb was the problem so much as the o-line getting pushed around. IMO

_ I don't think the qb was the problem so much as the o-line getting pushed around. IMO _

You are right. The O line got their asses handed to them. But in all fairness, every aspect of the team was horrible Saturday. We can't just point the finger at one thing.

_ I don't think the qb was the problem so much as the o-line getting pushed around. IMO _

The irony is that McNeese's defense looked just like what I was told the new Cajun Defense would look like... They were fast, and they took advantage of our "new" schemes...

Desormeaux had a bad game... but he was the best player on the field in the first two games...

Hundley is VanCleave... same size, same number... and he quit... doesn't deserve mention anymore... good luck dude, whatever....
