The Book: 2007 Football

_ You can't blame the community. Put a winner or at this point a competitive football team on the field and they will come. Right now it is just the SOS. _

You should not only support the Cajuns only when they are winning. That is the train of thought when it comes to the program. Its the C-R-A-P saying, "oh Ill start going when they start winning." or I like going to the LSU games. blah blah blah,

_ who cares anymore??? I won't waste another cent on this crap. _

I care

Said it once, say it again...you can either coach or you can't. Coaching wins games against McN State, Ark St....etc. Talent gets you to the next level. This guy can't coach. Period. End of story. Pack your bags boys we're goin home.

ive been a fan for a long ____ing time, and i never second guessed myself for being a fan. But its starting to get bad. asu is not a good team, and we lost by thirty. they dominated us like we were a high school team. ASU did this. they arent even a decent team. The worst in the NCAA is kicking the ____ out of us. i dont know what to do anymore. Im not putting blame on anyone; its just a fact; we suck. i dont know what to do.

This program very badly needs a new coach for a new direction and new momentum from the fans. The Sunbelt is improving every week it seems. This week MTS blew out Memphis, which would have been a surprise a couple of years ago, but now it is not surprising at all when a sunbelt team beats a conference usa team. But the Cajuns are not keeping up with the other teams in the conference. Even with all the problems of buying out contracts (contracts that always seem to be extended to early, considering that UL cannot buy them out as easily as almost any other D1 program), a 2-10 type record should get Bustle fired. If not, then fans will show up in even less numbers and even more importantly the recruits will stay away from this program.

How does a team play competitively with South Carolina on the road in week one and then a month or so later cannot stay within a few touchdowns of most sunbelt teams. The team seems in dissaray. The only other decent chance for a win will be FIU. The other games will probably be 10+ point losses. The sunbelt has become much better and is too good now for a very bad team to go .500 or better in conference play just for showing up.

There is not a single non-BCS program that packs them in when they are not winning. And many BCS schools also have empty stadiums for 1-6 teams too. The only teams that have very strong attendance, even in down years, are those major BCS traditional programs where going to games is just as much about pageantry and celebration of the traditions of the program as it is about the one particular game at hand. And of course most of those programs are winners year in and year out, at least above .500 records and bowl games just about every year.

So the only way the Cajuns will fill the seats is to win. No different than any other non BCS program and also about half of the BCS programs.

Even if teams like LSU or Florida were 1-6, 80-90% of the stadium would be filled. That is about decades of winning tradition and at the highest level. All teams without that history will have to win to fill in the seats. If the Cajuns were 6-1, there would be 30K+ at the next game. But 1-6 equals 5k at the next game.
