Is it excuses though? 12-1 nationally ranked team playing a 5 loss CUSA third place team. Nola has become a hell hole. Restrictions. Crime through the roof. A week before Christmas. Accommodations are expensive. No festivities for the fans, outside of the Toups thing. Lots of people recovering from the economic shutdown. And, we just hosted some historic moments at CajunField. Then lost our coach. There’s a palpable hangover feeling.
I completely understand why the crowd will be crap.
