Live Game Talk UL vs FAU

[RedBug58]

Have a beer, or better yet a bourbon. See you at HC.

We have supposedly been building for 4 years now, yet teams way behind us, freshly out of 1-AA are already not just ahead of us, but trashing us. What the heck is wrong with this picture?? How can one team su-k so much for so long?? :confused:

[Tripple Threat]

A tired defense that was deflated, a good starting quarterback sitting on the bench injured, a redshirt freshman quarterback who's too inexperienced and nervous to throw the ball, and a coach who I'm surprised still has the motivation to continue...Depressing...

On the other hand...

Steadily improving recruiting, a good starting quarterback who will be back, a lightening quick RB, a nice young receiving core, a fan base who through thick and thin has always kept hope..........This football team needs a good 7-8 years from the beginning of Bustle's start to start winning and probably an additional 3 years to start winning outside of the Scumbelt...What are the coaching mistakes coach Bustle has made? If he should go, why should he? I'd like to hear some concise, detailed criticism of the coaching staff's mistakes. Babb going down is a big blow...Even with a zero passing offense and full concentration by the defense on our running game, we were still running pretty well. The offense will improve when the QB does and defense will follow suit.

AAAAAH who am I kidding...Midnight Madness is coming soon to Blackham! Bring on men's basketball...

Maybe our field was built on an indian burial ground.

That "corner" we have been close to turning the past 2 years looks pretty damn far off to me now. I know we have better talented players now than when Bustle first arrived, so what does this mean? is it lack of effort? lack of coaching? What is it? We have now lost to 3 teams we heard all week the week prior to the game (on the radio) that we SHOULD beat. We seem to always be so close yet so far

[nfontenot]

I don't think anyone should get canned. You call the plays that your personnel can handle. Our defense isn't based on size, which means we need an offense that can take some time off the clock. We have the best cajun running back I've seen in years.
But somehow, I want us to stay off the bottom 10 list ALL season.

It really doesn't pay to get rid of Bustle now, the same ~~~~ will happen again.

we will have a since of false hope?

Who will they get anyways, no one wants to come here and ruin their coaching career, as it looks like Bustle is on that path.

I feel for the coaches and the players.

I love this university, but im just tired of losing.

I will not jump ship to another school, I just may not make it to another home football game cause i can't take the torture.

Hey guys, good game. Do not worry, we are much better then you thought. You should get some sun belt wins. Please beat stupid monroe. Anyway, good night from Boca Raton, see yall next year. GO OWLS!

[cajun4ever]

Offensive coordinator had NO game plan for FAU....Damn shame!

Defensive coordinator hasn't had a game plan since he got here.

Whats wrong with the picture is the head coach. hes the one ultimately responsible. face it he hasnt done nothing since coming here. Eat his contract and hire someone that can do the job.

I see people getting flamed for their opinions of our University here. I got some slack last week for saying we WOULDN'T win the rest of our games and we would lose at least 3 games.

I did not however include FAU in that factor. You guys can keep making excuses, but I can bet you tonight's game put UL in a HUGE hole. I was speaking to many long time, diehard fans much like myself and they said we CAN'T afford to lose this game. You guys thought tonights attendance was bad (it was horrible for an ESPN plus game).... just wait until the next game!

Why is it that UL fans have more respect for the players than they have of themselves? UL played horrible. We had sooo many penalties that gave FAU points. We took a lot of cheap shots, as well as FAU did against us.

The way I see it. UL is right back to where it was when Baldwin was fired. You can't entertain people with a losing football team. This is sad to say, but the Cajuns mascot and FAU Owl mascot put on a marvelous show on the sidelines.

I think UL's team lacks confidence. They don't respect themselves. Bustle is obviously too lax with these guys. He must treat them like best buddies. These guys should not be making this many mistakes halfway into the season.
If I was the coach these guys would be running until next Friday! I played high school football. When we made stupid mistakes we paid for it. We did the belly flops, we did the stadiums, we paid for our mistakes. We played as a team though. UL has a good bunch of players, but they forget that they are on a team.

You guys can find any positive you want from this game, but I'll give you food for thought. Switch our kicker with their kicker and the final score was more like 37 - 10. We were given EVERY chance in the world to win and we didn't want it.

So after the game a guy asks me what I think of Desormeaux. I told the guy he is a great runner and prolly a heck of a reciever. I don't think he belongs at QB. Then I get a bunch of flack about my comment. I understand D is a freshman. I know it's not easy. I just see him wanting to take off and run too much. Babb is a great throwing QB and he can scramble. I think Babb will be our QB next year. I like D, I really do. I love his flashy runs, but I didn't see the passes against an 0 - 5 team that I should have. I HOPE he proves me wrong.

I heard many students say they aren't going to any more games this year. You take into consideration some of these students have been at every game for the last 3 years. If UL wants respect, they gotta earn it now. We've been way too nice in pointing out the positives wach week.

On a side note, I was impressed with the jambalya at the Alumni tent. It was amazing. This game had a lot of pregame hype with all the radio stations out there and lots of tents and free food and even free beer.
