ULM is a program on the rise. The separation has begun and the Warwawks are looking at Tech in the rearview mirror. Hope you all enjoyed talking smack for the past couple of decades but those days are over. You all saw how each team dealt with Grambling. You all saw Tech get smashed by perennial power Texas and ULM just a missed extra point short of perennial power Florida State. The fun has just begun. 😁
Act like you been there before grasshopper.
If you need to tell folks you're on the rise ...
haha! Florida state is TRASH this year. Congrats.Quote:

How many victories have we had over P5’s? How many has ULM had? Not that it matters that much. Anyone want to place bets on probability of ULM winning the Belt vs Tech winning CUSA
Sleeping giant? Got a long ways to go - how bout start with making it to one bowl game. HOWEVER, I do like Coach V.
He's certainly got the program headed in right direction. Unfortunately, most of the alum are LSU season ticket holders or dont realize NLULM has an athletic program. Keep climbing and dreaming maybe one day basketball season wont come so quickly.
nlu would kick our ass
We need to play them. Losing to them seems to be the only thing that will get a coach or an AD fired.
I don't think it would. I think they have safe jobs. Now if Karl and other notable alumni clowned these fools we might get a change. Just might. Please Karl.Quote:

Sleeping giant, that is to funny.
It’s a trap!Quote:

Hey supermel311, we love NLULM
Hope y’all win the Sunbelt and win a bowl game. Y’all have a good coaching staff.

Our AD sees us as no better than ULLM so I don't think it will be too much longer before we sink to their level.
Yes, sorry that wasn't clear. I was just rattling off the ones we almost beat and leaving out the ones we actually beat.Quote:

Probably something like 31-20. Come November, that may not be true. Still, being able to beat Holtz's Puppies is no accomplishment and would not propel any team into "giant" status.
I fully expected this to be a post talking about lsuless' offense. That was a sleeping giant.
Not sure why this is in the pit. We are probably the 5th best football team in Louisiana. The Sleeping twin giants are still looking up to Tulane and the Purple and Piss, but they have passed up skippy and little tommy’s show.
Tulane BITCH STOMPED their “Grambling” opponent tonight. It wouldn’t even be close this year. Tulane is the clear no. 2 in the state. Our dawgs may not even be 5th
You must not be listening to the gay guy doing commercials for Learfield Sports Properties College. It's not dawgs its dahgs. How offensive of you to have a southern twang.:icon_razz:Quote:

Looking at their schedule, they should definitely get to 6 wins (bowl eligible) and probably 7. But, going 7-5 and being one of 80 teams bowling does not a giant make. Cuz, if it did, we'd be a super giant!!!
nLULM’s biggest game of the year at home vs Memphis on ESPNU and they have probably less than 12000 people there. Maybe less than 10000!

What was up with the shark type teeth on the uniform shoulders??? Warhawks have teeth?????
Depends on which logo they are going with. In reference to "the nest" no teeth. In reference to the P40 Warhawk, they have teeth.Quote:

I'm pretty sure they've got an eagle. But way to miss the point!Quote:

They have an eagle as part of their game day tradition. It is not a mascot. Probably the coolest think I've ever seen at a game.

I know Appy State is good, but shouldn't a supposed "awakening" Giant be able to compete? Supermel, can you explain this?
App St is indeed a sleeping giant. There are quite a few legit candidates for top G5 spot this year.
It's not even Halloween.
Tech is Bowl Eligible.
Boazy State lost to BYU last night. They were ranked 16th, should drop. More than likely the coveted NY6 slot will go to an AAC team. Maybe SMU! They smoked a good Temple team yesterday. They have Memphis, Navy, and Tulane left. Going 12-0 will position SMU in a position to garner that NY6 invite. Cincy will have something to say about this before it is done.Quote:

And, even with that win unless they get a lot of help, I doubt they'll be ranked high enough to garner the slot. But...I hope they do get it and I hope it embarrasses the hell out of CUSA.
AND! I will point out I advocated, and still do, for CUSA to pursue Appy State. I was in favor of that over the inclusion of Charlotte and ODU. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what CUSA can offer Appy State to get them to leave the Belch.
Just to further the NY6 talk...
It is unlikely any G5 team will finish 12-0, like UCF did the past two years, or 13-0 as they won their conference title game, so it will be a 12-1 G5 team, at best. I can see Appy State being in that conversation, at 12-1, with their only loss @ South Carolina. SMU too, with one regular season loss, probably either @ Memphis or @ Navy, but beating a ranked Cincy to finish 12-1. Or, flip it, and an 11-1 Cincy beating SMU to go 12-1. But then! one-loss Boazy and San Diego State figure in the picture too.
The point is...you don't see CUSA or The MAC in this conversation. If either Tech or UAB run the table to finish 12-1, we won't be close enough in the rankings to factor in. By then, a one-loss Tech could be ranked 20th-ish. But one loss teams already mentioned will be 7-9 places higher.
You are probably correct.Quote:

That may not be good enough, but if the timing of losses for the teams you mention above works out you never know.
It's fun to think about. First time since 2015 we've been able to discuss this.
Did the giant go back to sleep? They don't seem to be posting any more. I will be rooting for them to knock off ULL later in the year though. Good luck to the Warhawks.

The sleeping giant missed the first step on the bean stalk it seems.
The sleepy giant lost again last night. He better wake up soon else he won't be 1 of 80 teams bowling.
I WAS NOT there but this gigapixel crowd photo promotion at nlulm was a beautiful event as I read about it.
At some break in the game...I’d say 2nd quarter giving everyone time to get to their seats... they set up this fancy smancy camera at the center of the field to shoot a 360-view of the stadium. A high resolution photo results so people can zoom in on Facebook and tag themselves.
So, in the announcement prior to the photo session they announce how to tag yourself at the following website....
Well, when the pic is shot half the people are waving hands, etc. to stand out in the photo while many others are still looking at their phones trying figure out the app.
One poster today on why his group looked weird in the photo: “They were announcing how to tag yourself as the camera went around the entire field LOL!”
You gotta love a well planned promotion.
This is still funny!!Quote:

I saw the giant yesterday...looked like a bunch of dwarfs to me!
I saw one of the giants fake an injury after a play. Close the drama department at ULM cause they suck at acting.
Mel, we are all pulling for the sleeping giants to win against your rival ULL. Maybe next year y’all will actually wake up :laugh:
The sleepy giant got smooshed today, now 4-6. Have to win last two games just to be bowl eligible. They host a struggling Coastal Carolina, and should win that one. Then it's off to Laughingyet and the huge showdown with the Ravin' Cajuns. They should win that one too...
I needed this laugh again this morning.Quote:

Apparently when a sleeping giant awakens after such a long sleep there is much yawning and stretching before actually getting out of the bed.Quote:

Since this post was made Tech has done okay, completing a 10-3 season and a 6th straight bowl win. And now in 2020 we are struggling, but still 4-3 is a whole lot better than the sleepy giant's 0-8.Quote:

Since ULM finally won another game, we need to revive this thread again. This could be the year that the sleeping Giant awakens.
Since you woke up this thread, I thought I’d reiterate the funniest thing ever posted by Bulldog Tom:
