Thanks guys!
Dumb questions- What was your biggest win this year? And curious whos your rival?
Anything Aztec stuff I can answer shoot a question-will be working out of the house today and have time...
Best and good luck! Actually happy to see you guys in a Bowl!
If our Offensive Line protects well, I feel the Aztecs will win this one. Lindley without being rushed is very good. Add Hillman and we will be hard to stop.
If you can pressure Lindley all game, tight game to the end.
I like this matchup for a really good game.
McQervo... we really didn't have a "signature win" this year. Being we were starting a new era of Cajun football with a new coach and coming off a 3-9 year... and having been projected as 120th in the FBS and second to last in the SBC... when we won the Kent State game (an ugly rain soaked game), it just seemed to kick things off. Troy has been our dominant conference champion as of late and beating them was big... but they are in a bad slump. FIU and FAU have been tough programs to read and both formidable... taking both of them down this year was big. We went from starting the year with eventual #3 Oklahoma State to playing no other ranked teams. We did come back in the final minutes of a game with our instate "rival"... gulp... ULM... to score two late touchdowns and win that game 36-35. We don't really want to call that a "big win". It was a monster exciting finish and definitely solidified the gutsy character of our team. This was ULM's year on paper. They had possibly the best team they've had in many many years... it just doesn't always happen like it shows on paper.
Anyhow... rivals?... we debate this one all of the time. Some want to say it's our instate SBC member foe ULM. I don't. The older alumni view LaTech (WAC) and Tulane (CUSA) as our instate rivals we like to hate in all sports.
I will say this... our schedule, our results, and even the individual player stats are not the defining characteristics of our team this year. What I think SDSU will discover in the bowl is the extreme desire and gutsyness (best term I can come up with) this team plays with.
Who is SDSU's rival and what was your biggest win and why?
Biggest Win Washington State- hadn't beat a Pac 10 team in a while, something like 8 years.
Rivals- we HATE no tame it down HATE HATE HATE BYU. Many reasons-some include their on camera caught (See ABC national game) racial remarks, or perhaps "Replay Gate" where in PROVOSTAN they actually staffed the replay booth with 3 BYU alums. Cost us the game....
Rivals- Most Old timers (I am not one of them) consider California State University Fresno (a blatent dig BTW) "Fresno State" (aka Fresburgians/Frestuckie) our rivals.
Interesting about FIU- QB's Mom and I went to school together-lol.
Well I called and was told to be patient after about a week. I said that was not going to cut it. Ciontacted Ms Bertrand, and left call back message. Got a call from a helper and was told my tickets were ready and I could pick them up. Not easy as I live 120 miles from Lafayette. Fed Ex at my expense the next day.
Call them (cajun dome box office) and do not take NO or be patient for an answer.
It's a good thing we didn't get invited last Saturday. We would get our tickets on December 28. This is the first event I have ever been involved with that you did not get the choice "best available". You got your tickets and were told take it or leave it. It makes me think that they are still thinking "small time".
Well I would not say small time, instead first time. A learning curve will make it better next year. Next what is really the difference between best available and take it or leave it? The priority was announced in Lafayette very early on. They told everyone to quickly buy their options.
These tickets are being sold on a priority basis, and how many regular season tickets you may have has nothing to do with how many you may want. I have two regular season tickets and bought 8 early. It took over a week from the invitation bash for me to get mine, and they are pretty good seats. Point is each sale has to be a custom sale, as the tickets are already printed. Someone has to actually decide who gets to sit where depending on numbers requested, and other issues.
Point is that it is not as easy as you seem to think. If it were then everything would be OKDOKY
