Huh??

_ I meant an actual head coach in someone that has experience on this level as a head coach and not an assistant this or misc coordinator. _

Yeah, and like Frenchie said, let's come up with the MONEY to GET that guy!!!

I was really impressed with the new scoreboard and the suite set-up in the end-zone section. I would like to see us be able to do something similar at CAJUN FIELD eventually. The scoreboard looks very similar to the one I saw at Texas A&M last year. The video screen on A&M's is about three times the size, though.

**By the way, we'd very much like to see what kind of turnout you guys would have for a game at CAJUN FIELD!!!

Ourlook? We have a losers attitude.

Well, at least one of does...

[IHateLaState]

Well we all just need to remember

1. We are very young.....

2. We just dont have any money....

3. They are trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. It's negative people who are at fault...............

5. Ricky Bustle sure is a nice guy

6. Hey la tech doesnt have nearly the tiddlywinks team that we have.... they are NOT separating themselves from us

7. Look its only the SECOND year of a new OC and DC.. Everyone knows it takes at least 7 YEARS when you get new coordinators

8. Did i mention we are real YOUNG??

So now we go through it all again.. when in point of fact this butt kicking may have been acceptable as we began a new direction and a new program.... but no... we will wait yet another year to make the tough decisions....

LOL! That is the mantra of the Ksips. Cajun fans have become so use to losing down looks up. We should have shown the door to Busted after four years. Even with the "co-championship".

You must feel pretty big don't you? Your team wins and you have to come to our boards to run your mouth...some more. Pretty much had it with you guys. We do have some bigger things to worry about though, like a huge storm affecting our homes and businesses. Take your gloating and run along.

That post was directed to the LaTech fan that attacked USM on this board. Best wishes with Gustav. Hope all is well.

[CajunFun]

Talked with one of my sources:

1) USM estimates they sold us about 2500-3000 tickets, and with Gustav, they think we might have brought 4K. That is much, much better than they get from most other schools, including most conference members.

2) As it was, they think we brought 1500... which was still a very respectable crowd.

3) Because of the friendliness of our fans (a few people here on the boards withstanding), and the pleasant interactions and fun they've had tailgating when they've been here, and we've been there, they are very interested in seeing how they can play us more often, in more sports.

4) Our attendance numbers and traveling fanbase help offset our small budget and on-field struggles.

THPs:

1) Be friendly and positive, particularly to opposing fans: at Cajun Field, at away games, AND ON THE BOARDS.

2) Support the Cajuns, even when we struggle. Strong support (i.e., home & away attendance) is every bit as important to opponents and potential conference mates as budget, market size, and competitiveness. Ticket sales won't get us there alone, but they make up for a lot of other shortcomings.

Super THPs:

A positive outlook helps Louisiana.

A negative outlook hurts Louisiana.

How can fans of this program continue to make excuses? Fact is, Tulane, LA-Monroe, LA-Tech, and McNeese all have superior teams to ours. That's pretty pathetic for the state's second largest school.

This is what we get for employing a guy who was only successful because he coached Mike Vick.
