The Book: 2007 Football

Yall want to know the difference in the game, how about field position, we ALWAYS started on our own 20, and they started on the 40+. THE ONE TIME WE DIDN'T SKY KICK, they started at their own 15...wow, coincidence, I dont think so! Jeeze, If I see one more sky kick I'm gonna have an F'in seizure!!!!

I dont even want to go into the rest of the game, still to mad, but I had to get that off my chest.

I totally agree with you. It was VERY disappointing to see the good turn-out last night evaporating as the second half went along. This despite a very close, exciting game against two evenly-matched teams with the outcome in doubt until the last 37 seconds. "Fans" were leaving in large numbers all throughout the fourth quarter, even during our final drive when we were marching down the field. I don't get it. Why spend the time, money and effort to go to the game only to leave with the game on the line in the second half? Are the parties really that good? Do you really have to "beat the crowd" out of the parking lot? I am really depressed this morning. It is in part due to the loss, but it is mostly due to the thought that maybe all those naysayers are right: we have major-league ambitions with a minor-league fanbase. Rant off!

It is disappointing to see fans leaving like they did last night. My fear is that many fans have seen the Cajuns in situations like this before and they knew the writing was on the wall.

Yes, no sky kicks please in the next game. Just kick it long to No. 7 and you'll be okay.

Number 7? It could be number 1007 from lake charles....who gives a OOPS!

[RaginEsquire06]

...I think the call to go for it was correct. I just think they should have put Des on a rollout to have the option to pas or run. Our field position was that no-mans land of too far for a FG and too short for punt.

Good point RF2...very good point

Great, that's the attitude we want. Don't give an "oops" and kick it to him. He can't do anything with it.

Nature of the beast in Lafayette...unfortunately.

Some fans are trying to be realistic about this game while others are already chalking up the "W". This program cannot afford to chalk up anything right now. The McNeese St. / cajun game this coming Saturday is the BIGGEST game in the history of cajun football. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking otherwise. Clear thiinking fans know what's at stake here and are beginning to worry even more about the McNeese St. game. I'm expecting this to be a real dog fight to the end. You guys have some pretty good talent on your team and your coach is a pretty good one. Hopefully your fans will get treated with respect and not have cuss words thrown at them or get bullied around by the drunks that might be out there in the stadium parking lot tailgating! Have a safe trip and I'm sure they'll try not to kick it to # 7.

_ That was one exciting game last night. Louisiana has an explosive offense, and I'm certain that you'll make a lot of noise in the Sun Belt this season. You guys are a class bunch, and we look forward to both team and fans visiting Athens next year.

Just curious, were there many/any Ohio fans there last night? _

We, the Krewe de Chew, had a good number of Ohio fans visit our tailgating site. Very nice folks. They raved about our tailgating, and the hospitality they were witnessing.

Your AD made a visit. Nice person in the very same mold as the other Ohio folks. I asked if we returned the visit next year. He said no. It would be in 2010. I sure hope it takes place and that I am fit and able to make that trip. I visited the Ohio U website and took the tour of the campus. Beautiful!! It would be a nice place to set up some Cajun tailgating.

Good luck to the Bobcats the rest of the way.
