Game Thread (Louisiana vs Boise St)

[BSU FAN]

Good morning Ragin' Cajun fans. I hope you don't mind if a BSU fan joins the conversation. I have been following this thread for a few days trying to get a feel for the game. It seems as though you have as many questions about your team as we have about ours. My first hope is for a good game and no injuries. We're flying in Friday and are really looking forward to meeting all of you. If you have any questions about our team, I'll try to help. See ya soon.

Safe travel! Your post may start the dreaded ' Restaurant Thread". If it does, you will have plenty of options. Are you looking for our local, indigenous Cajun food or something different?

Welcome to the fray, BSU FAN. Play nice and we have no reason to feed you to the gators! LOL

Seriously though, safe travels and I expect you'll find pretty quickly that this is one of the finest college football atmospheres in the G5 for certain.

I posted on the BSU fan board that we have the best fans and tailgating, so they should just drop by any area and they will be treated to food and drink. Let's everyone make them welcome on Saturday!

Remember this, the best food you'll find anywhere is outside of the stadium. What are your concerns on defense? Are the suspensions to your defensive backs of any significance? What are your fanbase's overall opinion of Brian Harsin?

Thanks for the invite. The best way to talk football is tailgating. A couple of questions though. With this early of a kickoff, what time will the parking lots and box office open. We are coming down with no game tickets as the Boise allotment sold out pretty quick. I'm not sure how many we were given so I'm not sure this is relevant to the number of BSU fans that will show up. I'm hoping we can walk up get tickets when the box office opens. Also is there a certain parking lot we have to use or one close to the box office. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks again

I think our defense is the real question mark this year. We are going to be young on the line. We are bringing at least 3 true freshman d linemen on the trip and any or all could play. Our starters have some experience but after that it will be interesting. IMO the defensive back suspensions are big. We have very little game time for the back-ups and are looking at a true freshman playing. On a positive note, we have switched to a 4-3 defense this year from the 4-2-5 we have ran the last couple of years. Our linebackers are the strength of the D. I believe our offense is going to be good enough to average 40 a game this year, so I hope the defense only gives up 35 until they get some experience. As for Harsin, I have noticed a few comments about him. I am curious as if you know something about him down there that we don't know up here in Idaho. Up here, he is popular, but I have seen a few comments on his hands on approach. As I'm sure you know, he was the play caller in the 07 and 10 Feista Bowls. We have had 5 offense coordinators in the last 6 years. Our play calling in the last 5 years has been very inconsistent. This summer Harsin announced he was taking over the play calling this year. I think people are excited here to see if we can get back to the offense BSU fans have grown accustomed to. Anyway, any insight into Harsin from down there would be an interesting read for fans in Boise.

I've had a few conversations with some displaced Bronco fans around the country and they seem to be down on Harsin. The most popular reason was his unnecessary aggressiveness at times, which segways into our experiences with him, just in a little bit different way. Harsin allows or coaches his kids to play dirty. Especially in close games. His Ark St teams would consistently take cheap shots in the SBC.
