Hey Guys

[McNeese72]

Since our season is over, I decided to check back in with you guys where it started.

First, congratulations on your upset win over West Virginia.   We've been keeping our eye on the S. Florida scores all season.    I even caught a few of your games on TV.   Good luck, whatever bowl you guys get in.   I'll be watching and rooting for you.

As far as our season.   After four games, we were 1-3 and our head coach got canned for not disciplining players (long story) more than the record.   Our OC took over and we turned it around and went 6-1 and won our conference and the autobid to the playoffs.   We got sent to No. 2 Montana where visiting teams rarely win in the playoffs.   I made the trip.  It snowed before and after the game but luckily not during.   But we got our butts kicked and now will be sitting home watching the second round of the playoffs.

Season started with a fun road trip to Tampa and ended with a fun trip to Missoula.   Definitely different climates but we had a good time on both trips despite losing both games.   Now we are looking forward to the next couple of seasons because we have a young team.

Good luck in the bowl game.  

Later,

Doc

Thanks, Doc.  We enjoy having the fans from the classy opponents on here.

Congrats on making the playoffs, Doc.  I kept an eye on the score and, like you said, Montana is a tough place to play this time of year.  Furman ran into the same problem.

I must say that I've been very impressed with McNeese fans and their team after getting to know them.  I hope we can get them back on our schedule at some point.

hey, Thanks for the post and the props.

I saw that y'all did a "turn-around", but didn't know why.

Did the OC get the full time HC job?

Congrats on the Playoffs (wish 1-A had them) and good luck next year!!

Thanks, Doc.  Maybe we'll schedule you guys again down the line some time.  Missoula is one tough place to walk into and get a win against the Griz.  I am vaguely familiar with their program, I lived in Montana once a long time ago.  I am actually surprised they haven't gone 1-A, they have had a lot of success the past 10-15 years.  Good luck next year.

Yes, the OC got the interim tag taken off the week before the last regular season game.   I'm glad they went ahead and did it.   He is a hell of a good guy, a very smart X's and O's guy, and deserved it.  Also, I'm glad for recruiting purposes that the head coach thing got settled quick.

Good luck,

Doc

Randygator, i for one am glad 1-A does not have playoffs.  My friend transfered to Duquesne and her school shared the MAAC Title but didn't go to the playoffs.  Winning a share of a conference title should have gotten them there, but alas it did not.
