G3 Final: Louisiana 21, Rice 33

[JMV JustMyView]

Rice attendance announced at 18746. There is no way there were that many there.

They are also counting sold tickets.

This right here. I am very grateful for what Billy did while he was here. But there’s an argument to be made that he left us worse off than we were when he got here.

Sure we won a lot of games including bowls and a conference championship. He brought us top 25 rankings. And we loved it. But then he took everything with him. I mean he took the freaking media team. Dude left us with nothing.

My analogy here is like building a massive Jenga tower. Nice and sturdy. And then he took more than half the pieces with him to Florida leaving us with a tower that’ll fall over from a light breeze.

I shared the same skepticisms with the Des hire when it was announced. Confused, but excited bc we all love Des. But after the first 3 games it appears he is over his head at the moment. It may take a couple years to build this “jenga tower” back up.

Napier took what he brought to UL. Nothing wrong with that as all coaches who move up do that.

If we lose to ULM then Mike should be canned. UL should never lose to ULM. Our standards should be higher than them.

I can’t wait for our first bad loss in Softball next season . . . can the coach

Not exactly

In recent years how much better is Rice than UL-M? I’m asking sincerely, as I have no idea.

On the surface I feel like you could replace Rice with UL-M and your comment still stands lol.

(I am not literally saying we should fire Des, just making light of how disappointing this loss was).

I’m hopeful we will turn things around.

So should we fire Deggs or any other coach for losing to ULM? Yes I hate losing and especially to ULM but it’s sports and anything can happen but to say he should be fired if he loses next week is a bit much

You are pointing out how ridiculous that statement is. We can find 30 head coaches that should be fired every week under that analysis

[ryan.hess1986]

Yes, and to again be VERY clear to everyone reading….. I am NOT advocating to fire Des. Lol.

Im the worlds worst at over reacting to bad losses, but this just is what it is. Terrible performance all around, but we have 9 games to go and a lot to play for. I’m more concerned with how we bounce back the rest of the season than I am last nights loss.

It is unbelievable the silliness that shows up on this board when there is an unexpected occurrence. Well not, it was this silly by the same posters for 3 years when we almost never lost.

Silliness seems to be a disease treatable with cheese. Eat the cheese.

Let that sink in.

…..Anybody get the story on this? Who was our player? Any video?
