Live Game Talk Final : Louisiana 51 Troy 30

I just hope next week’s ending doesn’t rely on my prayer skills again…��

Thinking about next week. Exactly 5 years ago, we were sitting at 9-2 with to a chance to have our 1st 10-win season. The obstacle in the way: ULM Warhawks. Caleb Evans was a Sr. and had accounted for 400 yards total offense. Raymond Calais torched em for an 83 yard TD before half. They were about to win the game on a FG, I was on my knees praying with my back to the goal post when the kicker shanked it. The ball landed in front of me and I gave it Raymond Calais. History is setting up to repeat itself.

Great story and I was certainly thrilled when the ULMost kicker missed, but I vote for a 63-10 Cajuns win next week!

One thing I was thinking about this morning. This is a game we lose last year

It’s senior day. They should be wearing their traditional red stacked Ragin Cajun helmets. Who’s making these decisions?

Not you fortunately, best uni’s we have were last night. Maybe the seniors decided what to wear

Dude…if we win next weekend, 10-2. I know a couple folks here predicted 10 regular season wins, but I for sure thought 7 was the tops.

Very happy to be eating every damn bit of crow.

100% ME TOO!!

Over the last 2 years, really. We let leads slip away against ULM, Rice, Houston, Troy to name a few. This year, we’ve been very good playing with the lead. Also, not letting other team’s leads get out of hand. Every lead that our opponent has had against us that was 7 points or less, we’ve overcome. Our issue is playing catchup down multiple scores. As it is with most every team.

To the playing with the lead point. There are several examples of great individual plays that propelled us to wins this year. Carter with the long catch vs. Coastal. Williams kick return last night. Late game ints/turnovers vs. App and USM. We had been missing that in close games.

We have really been strong in closing out games this year. BTW, watching the game on demand this morning, can we please get someone else besides Dan McDonald as the play by play on ESPN+? He's really annoying.

I, as not a fan of the 6-6 record and the excuse fandom, this was a s or get off the pot year for me. 7 wasn’t going to cut it. 7 should be the standard baseline.

I’m very pleased. Now is time to finish the job.

But it will take every second of the 60 minutes to win next week. ULM cleared out not only the staff but 70+ players. They got an AD with a pulse. The FB coach is a young proven winner, not some retread ULM could buy with supplementing his income from being bought out from his prior disaster.

No business or excuse losing to Monroe. Finish and do NOT take the boot off the throat. Hud and company did that years back in Lafayette, jumped out 14 zip and got lazy.

Finish!

Hoax have lost 5 in a row. They are not good. If we play our game, it won’t be close at all.

If we win....do we host?
