    Lafayette tends to get bored with EVERYTHING. It is terrible that we have 500,000 people in a 30 mile radius and we get 2% in the stands. With that said, I am ok with that, the 9,800 people are TRUE fans, I have to tell you that when we got the first INT, It was so loud I was shocked, sounded like 20,000 to me.

    Yo... Is this the same Miami who a couple of months ago was saying the sunbelt sucked and coach Lee was headed in the wrong direction? If this is the same MC what happened? Have you been breaking into my Koolaid stash. I had an emergency stash that seemed to be running low. I don't really mind though. Welcome to the Club. And if we run out, we got Domefoam right around the corner. If you happen to be in town whenever I can free myself I will buy you a couple.

    You know I think the money is there also... but they need a vision... someone to tell them by spending that money something is going to change... That an agressive approach will be forthcoming.. Im serious about the type of announcement I proferred.... come out and state publically that we are the #2 university in this state... that we are going to act like it... that we will pay homage if need be to the Grand Dragon in BR but we want them to not hinder our attempts any further.. Call them out in the public... then go after the other state schools who suffer from the funding issues like we do... Show some $#@# leadership.........

    Quit accepting that "We cant do nutin cause poor ole us dont have no monies"....

    oh well... when does baseball start???? lol....

    Troy hanging tough with UF and destroying Oklahoma St.
    Cajuns hanging tough with South Carolina

    Finally, the Cajuns are in a football conference that is not completely uncompetitive on the national scene. Seems like sunbelt will only get better because recruits will likely prefer to play in south than in northern schools, if they have choice between WAC, MAC, and Sunbelt teams, and they don't have ties to a particular area. Sunbelt is flat outplaying CUSA the past two years.

    Troy blew out Rice last year. This year, Troy could blow out any team in the CUSA on a given day. Cajuns beat Houston last year, but were not even a top 2 sunbelt team.

    The only way Cajuns are going to have a chance to become a Southern Miss type program over the next decade is a) have great coaching, and b) be in a conference that recruits can be excited about playing in.

    When N. Texas was winning the sunbelt by default in its first several years, the sunbelt was just awful and no team in the sunbelt was well positioned for the future.

    Now all the sunbelt teams have a better future, as long as the conference as a whole keeps showing this remarkable improvement. Just two years ago, the modest achievements listed above would have been unbelievable and unnatainable.

    I would rather the Cajuns struggle a bit in a much improved sunbelt than win the conference by default, as N. Texas was doing.

    This Cajuns team is probably as good as those champion N. Texas teams, but the problem is the sunbelt is a lot better. That is a good problem...

    Yes, it sucks to be 1-5, but it is better to know that there are no easy games left on the sunbelt schedule than to think that Cajuns can likely roll to a .500 record now that sunbelt play has started...
    Good points and something bright to pull out of another bad season. It makes me feel a little better. Well just a little. Keeping the faith.

    I think we have all been shaking our heads since McNeese. MC found something positive and I appreciate it.

    a good example of how lafayette should be is in Huntington, WV for Marshall University........their team isnt doing to well to how it did and they still have just as many fans if not more.......sometimes its almost if lafayette doesnt care that a college football game going on........


  8. UL Football Re: Player of the game

    Des was def. the player of the game in my book.........but so many more people deserve recognition like drew e. and fenroy and the two new starting tackles and of course the whole defense

    Appreciate every support we can get right now. Seems like every time we get something going we shot ourselves in the foot and it snowballs from there. I don't know...it's like we got our own little curse like the Cubs have in baseball. Did someone try to bring a pet gator into cajunfield and get turned away like that goat in Chicago? Hope not. Myself I think most of it is mental. Maybe a good psychologist could volunteer their services.

    Well we got one win under our belt. Glad to see the guys still giving it their all. I'm not that superstitious, but please no more 0-12 polls. Just seems like a self fulfilling prophecy. I see it every night. If you think you are gonna lose its bound to happen.

    For instance,
    +2 in turnovers
    We won the second half for the second week in a row
    We won without Wallace and with fenroy at about 70%
    We won without both of our Starting tackles out (and both new guys came into their own in the second half)
    Defense held 3rd and long conversions to a minimum vs a team that specialized to convert those types of plays.
    and biggest player of the game, Dez gets 2 with his feet, and 2 with his hands.

    With this being a win, I'll let the coaches take care of pointing out the mistakes.

    Tuffy, I have said it time and time again....Cajun fans don't know how to win, and we don't know how to lose. Its _____ing and griping all the way.

    As for the win Saturday who will remember two or three years from now, when looking in the archives, that we played so-so. What we will see is a big W besides the score.

    Heck, I would love for the guys to play "lights out" every game. But we are dealing with realities here....injuries, inexperienced replacements, weather, etc. I'm with you. Lets take the W and don't look back.

    No, you misunderstood my post. The money is from an outside source, but they have not approached Walker yet. Several local business men have stated they have the money to do so, we will see if they are willing to approach David Walker by the end of the season.

    Default FIU could be in a world of hurt....

    http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7008763459

    According to the school's newspaper, the Beacon, "an infraction report from Aug. 25, 2005 showed that FIU broke NCAA rules," and as a result, FIU "is now subject to penalties under repeat violators, which may include the prohibition of some or all outside competition in the sport involved for one or two sports seasons."
