_ I can GUARANTEE you that we are way better than that!

Get out your cryin' towl! _

Ok, but I'm confused. Why do I need a crying towel when we won 38-17?

[keithj]

we have to be the worst college team in Louisiana right now .

Even Nicholls St. beat Rice. I'd bet we'd even lose to the colonels. ha

Granted, Rice looks pretty crappy this year.

Moving down is not an option. NO ONE has ever done it and NO ONE will ever do it unless forced by the NCAA. As seen tonight, UL needs to recruit better.
I agree the Cajuns should schedule MSU or Southern if we need a D1AA filler.

[keithj]

We won't drop down to 1-AA. Not when we get paid half a million to play a BCS school, sometimes twice a season. Rent-a-win...

You think the Athletic Department is going to give that up? Even if it means getting our asses handed to us.

_...the Cajuns should schedule MSU or Southern if we need a D1AA filler. _

I think we should schedule as many state schools as possible every year! (not just as gap fillers) The crowd tonight was wonderful! Totally incredible...Does anyone know what the numbers for attendance was? Congrats to the Cowboys and their fans...made for a wondeful night of football! Great for the fans and for the city!

...and I STILL believe that the Cajuns will have a good season! As justified by all of the mistakes by the Cajuns...the pressure to win tonight, in front of such a large crowd (in terms of playing at the swamp...) must have been overwhelming for the players. Don't get to down boys...it WILL get better!

Man, this loss truly hurts inside my stomach. I have been backing the UL program for my whole sports loving life. This kind of a loss just makes all my arguments and defense in our behalf sound like crap. I just hope UL does not take a major turn for the worse and win only two or three games this year. At this rate will we win a game at all?.....don't think so. I will never stop loving UL and supporting them I just want to cry out loud. THIS HURTS!!!!!!!!!

_ sorry about my comment on another thread. I thought it ended at 31-17 and was bragging on my close prediction of McNeese beating ole SLI 28-17. Guess I quit paying attention to the score too soon.

Fans shouldn't be disheartened. I've been watching the Bulldogs/Cajuns whatever, for 52 years and except for a couple of decent seasons with Faulkinbury in the 60's, one good one with Tammareillo, and a couple with Stokely, this school has always had a pretty sad football team. We need to drop down in classification and play on a level that we can be competitive as Div. I is out of our reach no matter what any of you say. Beating one freaking team(A & M) that meant anything does not a program make. _

Showdog,

When you say "we," I assume you are refering to La. Tech. Whether LTU drops its classification is of no consequence to me.

I think the Cajuns realize that sporadic wins like A&M or the Houston win last year are nothing to hang your hat on, particularly if the season ends in dissapointment.

NEVER EVER EVER confuse disappointment regarding the current state of affairs with a lack of resolve. Cajuns just are not built that way. Success will come. It may not be today, or next week, or next year, but it will come. When it does, I expect you will still have a tarp covering half of your stadium.

It was a great night for watching a football game. It was a pretty good-sized crtowd - interested in knowing what the attendance turns out to be.

The thing I wished not to happen - either team suffering injuries that might hamper them in their respective conferences - apparently happened to key players on both squads. I hope those players come back healthy and quickly.

Good luck in your remaining games.

_ You have every right to talk smack, but... spellcheck dude. _

Yes Sir! Lol!....

I firmly believe the same ATX!
