Which is exactly why I want the sportswriters down there to convince them this was a fluke. I want them to think they're going to come to Ruston and leave with a W only to leave wearing their butt for a hat.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my article. Feedback is a necessity in this business, both on my end and from the reader's perspective.
The beautiful thing about opinions is that everyone has one. In my opinion, the Cajuns team you saw get clobbered by Tech Saturday night is not the one you'll see the majority of the time this season. There is a reason they were double-digit favorites heading into the game. In your opinion, Saturday's game was all the evidence you need to make the case that the Cajuns were vastly overrated. Your proof is in the score, mine is in what I've seen watching this team practice and play together for the last month.
Thanks again for the email and for reading my work. Have a good day.

Good old Memorial Gym
Remember the line from "Platoon". Excuses are like a**holes. Everyone's got one. Just like his opinion.

Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man.
Someone should ask this idiot if he saw what we did: LA Tech was bigger, faster, stronger, better coached and executed on their game plan better than ULL. Oh....and yes, we had more points too.

Anyone who has been around sports long enough should realize that teams practice against their own teammates. Therefore, they learn very well what the offense or defense can do. That's a whole lot different than real games when they are seeing teams for the first time.
His apparent asinine reply has to be tongue-in-cheek. It has to be! No one can be that stupid!
Thanks to the First Amendment, he is indeed entitled to publish his opinions. That doesn't mean they aren't delusional. If he thinks his Cajuns are that good, let's see how their record looks half way through the season. Of course with he'll probably say every opponent except SU had a fluke game.
Did they wear blue?

Sunshine pumpers gon sunshine-pump. Even flammin cajun ones.
Look, I think any truly unbiased observer would have watched that game and noticed the obvious disparity on all levels; the eye test would have told them all they needed to know. Then, the results in the score (though it wasn't even that close) and the boxscore would have further verified what their eyes told them. And the truly unbiased conclusion would be, "Those two teams play 10 times this year, and Tech wins all 10, definitively. Really, no debate."
However, there will always be those in every fan base that delusionally and -- perhaps -- loyally (to a fault) refuse to let their eyes tell them anything but positive. ULL has those fans/supporters as does Tech.
The loyalty I can respect, even though the logic is suspect.
I think he wrote that article without watching the game, which is unethical. Nobody who watched that game would make that statement and then (worse), double-down on it.
This beat writer is new this year, and I don't know how closely he looked at last year's results... But ULL has struggled against their last 6 FBS opponents.
- Had to dig themselves out of 21-point deficit to beat hapless NMSU in Laffy
- Squeaked by Troy in Laffy by 5 points.
- Beat winless Georgia State, but it was a 1-possession game in the 4th quarter.
- Lost to ULM in Lafayette! LOL
- Curb stomped by South Alabama 30-8.
- Beat Tulane by 2 because the Greenie Lou Groza winner missed a chip shot FG.
- SWAC
- Blown out by Tech!
Taking into account those results and watching the game on Saturday night, it's pretty obvious ULL is waayyy overhyped. Hudspeth's best win in three years may be over a mediocre SDSU team.
