Yeah really... A close margin of defeat or even a win just isn't similar to what happened here. Mcneese scored 30 in the second half alone. This was a disaster- plain and simple.

I thought this thread might have some descriptions of wicked hangovers. I've sure got one and after reading this I'd like some hair of the dog.

Well. Now that we've gotten that out of our system.   I would not have been overly surprised that we lost to McSU. That being said, I would have expected a 3 to maybe 10 point margin of victory. Ne

It is a tough loss without many bright spots, including the fact only 22K came out to RJS, but there is no way to go but up.

I would not have been overly surprised that we lost to McSU. That being said, I would have expected a 3 to maybe 10 point margin of victory. Never would I have expected the dismantling debacle, the record breaking loss, we suffered last night. 

 

As for the "unrealistic fans" who thought, based solely on what...Coach speak? "It Aint Holtz"? that a 10-2 season was possible, I wouldn't be too hard on them. They probably lean more towards an "anything's possible" philosophy than an honest assessment of where we are. And after last nights performance, those of us who thought a four or five win season was going to be the level of expectation, well...we may have to revisit that as well.

 

However, it was the first game under a new coach for a team that returns what...eleven starters? Our O-line needs work...wait...you know, there's plenty of work to be done across the board and as god-awful as last night was...it was last night. Boys, this is gonna be a rebuilding year (or two) and I just want to emphasize that when I use the term 'rebuilding', I do not harbor any illusions of "yeah, going 7-5 instead of 9-3". I mean heavy lifting.

 

If I could think of something good to say about last night I would. But the closest I can come is "well, thankfully football season started".

Bright spots:

 

The students showed up

Shaw looks to be a good back for us

Eveld looks to be a serviceable QB

Offensive scheme looks good.  (receivers were open on almost every play, Floyd just couldn't find them or hit them)

UL Monroe beat Alabama in Alabama in 2007 the first year of Saban and that was near the end of the season.

 

Things can only go up from here.

"Fans" were off the deep end with their "emotion filled" thoughts of a 10 and 2 season. 

 

Taggart is the right guy and it will take time.  Not this year and not next.  Short term pain, long term gain.

 

Go Bulls!

 

Can't believe some people thought we would go 10-2. Unrealistic expectations for this team.

 

 

That was the use of exaggeration to make a point.

 

I don't think the issue is 10-2 as much as it was the expectation of a win over McNeese State.

Guys.... We didn't just lose to McNeese. We got manhandled and blown out of the water. 

 

 

Yes and so did over a half dozen other FBS schools.

 

 

???

 

Well, I feel better now.

Still waiting for a statement from Taggart, Woolard, or Judy
