Sorry for venting, but I needed to do it because of the people around me. Once I am finished with my study, I will post it on here.

Haha, yea I had to laugh once we knocked down the hail mary. Everyone leaving around 7 mins to go gave me plenty of room to jump for joy and hi five.

That pick was very discouraging, but I'm definitely glad I stayed. I don't think I've ever left a game early in my life though.

Yeah, I was pretty ____ed at all of those "fans" who felt they needed to leave early. Oh well, it was your loss. What an ending.

_ He has to have the Best QB rating in NCAA history right? _

the red bulls had that play sniffed out...and Falgout had two defenders all up in his Kool-Aid when he threw that pass. It was nice.

That kid must be from Vermilion Parish or some other cradle of football greatness. HA!

_ And all that talk that Jay Walker had of losing the game because we had soo many injuries on defense. Well I tell you what the future is bright. _

Well, you can't tell me you were that much more confident that we'd win with all of the injuries. Nobody that follows this team could tell me they fet extremely confident that we'd be in this position without 4 LB's. I truly didn't expect for us to win especially with a RS Freshman at QB but the D really stepped up and played well tonight. This team has great character!

There was still plenty of times when we couldn't get a pass rush, but man, when we needed that clutch sack or pass defended, the guys stepped up. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors alike, we are in good hands on defense as these guys step up.

Good for you. I always stay too. Been to many of the "Big" away games too. (AZ-State, Alabama, Ole Miss, USC twice, FL, K-State, etc). Always stay to end there too. Have been going to games since before Cajun Field (was 7 then). If you are a fan, you support through all. Never know what can happen. I really wish I could have been there tonight. I sure am going to try to be there in 2 weeks

_ Guys do you realize you are already expecting to lose? We are not playing Ohio State today. We are playing ASU. If this team plays like they have been, missing Des will hurt but they will still pullout a win. That is what winners do! _

No,No,No. That is not what I'm saying. However, its fairweather fans out there that only support this team when they win that I'm trying to get to understand the position we are in. We are currently without our QB who makes this offense go which was evidence by tonight. We are without 4 LB's that made up a unit that was supposed to be the deepest and strongest part of our D that is already shaky. All I'm saying is that maybe the fanbase needs to reevaluate the expectations with so many injuries. This team has played well all year except the first game and I just didn't want these losses to diminish what has been accomplished. I truly didn't expect to necessarily win tonight although I thought it was surely possible. But if you think this is an 8 win team with a frosh QB your mistaken.

[zephyr]

_ Damn, it seems like you are giving up on the game before it even starts. I don't understand this. All teams have injuries they have to deal with. Didn't Troy lose their QB? If you are going to play in a bowl, YOU HAVE TO WIN THIS GAME. PERIOD! _

Read above post. Nobody is expecting to lose. Read instead of react. I'm just trying to get people to understand how decimated this team is with injury. I'm also not speaking of this game but actually the entire season from here on out.

This play is gonna give me a heart attack....

I don't understand why this play was ever drawn up.

Best case senario you complete the pass and the TE gets 3 yards before running into the sideline. WooHoo

Worst case senario I've seen twice this year. Pick Six.

It's a dumb play with way more to lose than gain, and it's one of the toughest passes for a qb to throw.

If anyone can tell me 1 good reason for this play, or an example of it working to where it's worth running..... I just don't think it's worth the risk.

Dear Coach Bustle,

Please remove this play from our otherwise wonderful playbook.

P.S. I liked our speed at linebacker tonite!!!!
