    It's really nice.....

    Thankful on this Thanksgiving to know my beloved alma mater's football program is on a good track!

    Five really good winning seasons in the last six.

    Four EXCEPTIONAL QUARTERBACKS to watch in recent years (starting with Colby Camerson). Superb skill players (Dixon, Patton, Taylor, Henderson, and others). Some outstanding defensive players, as well!

    LOTS of good wins!

    Three straight bowl appearances, and we ought to heading to our fifth bowl in six years.

    Plenty of effort goes into building what we have in Ruston. Nothing is perfect, but for the level where we play, I, as an alumni am very pleased and thankful on this day. In the grand scheme of things, football has no substantive effect on my life, but it is a great thing to have such a solid program!

    front page Times article (5 pages) today's Thanksgiving paper. 5 pages on Dancy and young 11 yr old Deangelo Brown and their cancer battle. Lots of photos and I have never seen 5 pages dedicated to one story. Story posted under Dancy thread if you don't have Times

    Our program is on solid ground, true. And I hope we use this foundation to build something even better. For now...for today...yes, we can be thankful for our recent (and current) success.


    How 'bout dem Dawgs!

    Great time to be a Bulldog. Three bowl games in a row (let's say all victories). A conference championship would be the icing on the cake!

    There are three things that are important

    God
    Family
    The Green Bay Packers

    in that order

    Re: It's really nice.....

    So now we get to look forward to being slaughtered next week at WKU. That game will be 35-3 at the half, and then it'll really get ugly in the 2nd half!

    And then....oh boy! we get to play a MAC team in a lowly bowl game somewhere. Whoopty-doo!

    This is what I mean about not getting passed this mediocre 8-4 crap! No, "bowling" doesn't mean crap. I am not satisfied with three straight bowls, blah, blah, blah....Seasons like this ONLY have meaning if they are the building blocks to something much better. Not, the pinnacle of our program. We did enter this year with the 134th most experienced team in the nation. So, 8 wins can be considered an accomplishment. But, ONLY if we build on this and next year win 10 or 11 regular season games.

    Hell! the NSU Demons are licking their chops so sure they're gonna beat us again. Their coach, Jay Thomas, just went 1-11 but he's being retained because he is 1-0 vs. us.

    Is this it with Skip Holtz? Is there nothing more?

    Every year there will be an excuse.

    A few years ago we lost 650 seniors.

    This year we had the 134th most experienced team.

    What will it be next year?

    We will take our whipping from any decent bowl teams, get feeling good during October playing bottom 200 Sun Belt teams, then get wiped off the map by a Southern Miss team that takes football SERIOUSLY.

    Then, our sunshine pumpers will tell us that everything is ok. The coach may leave, or not, and we'll rinse and repeat all the old excuses. TMac will schedule a few road games on the other side of the globe at community colleges and collect his raise. Nothing chnages in Ruston, LA.
