Ragin' Cajuns Accept R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl Invitation

[RedBug58]

Wow that is anti climatic.

How cool would it have been to get the invite at a party during the bye week.

Then the players could have focused on a pure conference championship.

OK, so things didn't go as well as expected last night. I'm not happy about it either. But, we do have a game to win next weekend. Broadway may possibly be out for USA and the NO Bowl, but Haak was very successful at a large high school in Texas and has had two years in the system with "some" game experience. He'll get the snaps this week and the offense will be tailored around him. He'll have good backs, a good line, and we know that he can pass. We may see a little different brand of ball, but I think we may like it.
Also, for all of the trash that we've been talking about Tulane, they came within 4 points of beating Rice in Houston yesterday. We may not be exactly "who we thought we were", and they seem to be better than we give them credit for. We've been looking down on other teams and under estimating them for a while now. It's time to focus and take care of business, or we'll get the same result as last night. And, I cannot take that again.

I am not excited about this game/matchup at all, but it is a huge game. No doubt, we took a hit in recruiting in the state after a putrid performance and loss to ULM. If we lay a turd against South AL and lose to Tulane, it is quite possible that all of the work that has been done by HUD over the last 2 1/2 years will be undone.

We should have announced the bowl while ULM was celebrating their Super Bowl

I don't think that is accurate or fair to coach HUD or the players. What we've seen in the last 3 years is amazing! Not only did HUD change the direction of the football program he changed the mindset of the community. If the scenario you gave plays out, then that means there is more work to be done, players to sign, and get ready for next year to continue the dream. I'm not about to jump off this wagon! In success there are always bumps along the path. Champions adapt and overcome.......so take it back...

Don't let go of the rope!

Firstly, that's not going to happen. IF that happened, you're crazy thinking this would undo all that HUD and crew have for this program. It would certainly be a step back, particularly for recriiting and RCAF momentum but I promise you most people wont forget where we have been and where we are now

[CajunProud]

I won't (at least not due to HUD and staff, if anything, it will be because of the idiots at Martin Hall). Just making an observation and speculating on possible outcomes.

[CajunProud]

Easy, Alice. Go take a couple of Midol and wash your panties.
