_ I am good with that. Show me.

I wonder if our players have to compete everyday in practice?

[ShowDog]

_ Perhaps people (many, but not all) are quiet this week because we were not expected to win this game. Perhaps people are quiet this week because there was an increase in individual efforts across the board. I would imagine that if North Texas is a debacle, we'll hear from everyone and their brother....but in the meantime, don't pull the plug on this team if we lose to UCF, Tennessee and Troy...especially without Fenroy and Fisher. I think North Texas can be a ray of hope....let's see what happens.

Geaux Cajuns!!!

WOW, so we're to be excited if we beat one of the worst teams in the nation(next to us)? Great we'll be 1-5.

Look at UCF. They beat us on a field goal two years ago. Which team has improved since that time. That's what I'm looking for.

We are not getting the quality athletes. You can't make a Div. I-A team out of Div. II or NAIA type of athletes. Until that changes, we will never be any more than what we are.

In my opinion, Fenroy is the only quality player we have. Des is a great athlete but he's not a qb.

Defensively, noone stands out in comparison to players from teams beating our behinds.

_ I wonder if our players have to compete everyday in practice? _

Yeah but look who they're competing against. What is our punter averaging.

How many times have we kicked off inside the opponents 5 yard line?????

[ShowDog]

_ I think we are already and have been for a decade of the dark ages of Louisiana football. I don't know the answer. Hustle up and Bustle seems to be an ad from the past that has lost all meaning. _

The answer is many fold. For one, the Lafayette and SW Louisiana community is not behind Cajun athletics as a whole.

Too many 4 years schools in LA. All competing for the same athletes.

LSU is only 55 miles down the road. Ain't no way they'll lose an athlete to us that they really want.

We don't pay enough to land a good coach with a name.

We have a terrible tradition in football-forever! emphasis on "tradition" we have none except as a rent-a-win for major universities.

[ShowDog]

_ I believe that was a "Chris Everett" jersey... _

Her name wasn't Everett...

[ShowDog]

_ yeah they are pretty good, but a little heart and desire to win changes that. Look at Tulane. _

Yeah look. LSU woke up and it was all over. Tulane was the same Tulane. LSU beat the crap out of them. If LSU had wanted to, they could have made the "spread" on the game.

Not saying Tulane didn't try hard but 34-9 isn't exactly a barn burner. It's a 60 minute game.

Getting tired of the cliches.. If we had scored td's instead of field goals we'd feel a lot better about everything. Naw, you meand 14 points are better than 6. No wonder he's leading this team.

We wanted to win the second half, we just didn't win by enough. Good arithmetic Bustle.

Fenroy is a solid mid-major back. Desormeaux should be playing either WR or on defense. Think about this, the last two quality players we had on defense were Charles Tillman and Ike Taylor. Who recruited those guys? We need to do a lot better recruiting guys on defense.

[ShowDog]

_ Thanks for the well wishes. I expect to see you guys as the Conference USA champs this year. TOO BAD you guys aren't playing LSU this year. Give'em a run for their overrated money. _

It amazes me how LSU ends up in some conversations that don't remotely have anything to do with them. After watching TX yesterday, I see why UCF gave them a close game.

LSU would "demolish" them.

We need to wonder why a team who beat us by a field goal two years ago, whipped us as bad as they did last night, instead of worrying about LSU or anyone else. Take care of our own business which we don't seem to be able to do.

I know there are a whole lot of disappointed Cajun Fans here and I am one of them.
I know we have 4 new coaches two of which are coordinators and the other two are D-back and receiver coaches.
We sent 40+ players to USC out of 60 which were playing their first D1A game!
Our offense is driving for more than 100 yards more per game than last year, but they are not punching it in like they did last year.
Defense is starting to come around, but is still not where we need them to be.
Special teams are average at best in some areas and both better and worst in others.
The training areas are much better now and the Indoor Facility is being used so that we are not missing practices like prior years, and it is high time we start seeing some of these benefits on the field.

I just want to Win, Baby!
