Giving Credit Due

Grad transfers = temporary mercenaries. You hope to get a quarter out of them at best.

I don't mind filling 1 or 2 spots this way, but it doesn't help the team in the long run.

A case could be made that it does more damage than good.

...and then, along comes a Houston Bates, or a Cody Sokol, or a Jeff Driskel, and they are perfect citizens and good students, as well as great players.

That's Kentucky Fried from their new franchise location adjacent to their stadium!!!!!

If 9 wins and not winning a conference championship is your goal, then yeah, Holtz has that down pat.

I want more.

I think more comes next season, the schedule looks like it could be very favorable. Lots of home games and the Power 5 games should be very winnable. Absolutely no excuse the CUSA championship game should be in Ruston, therefore very winnable! With good QB play and a decent defense (I know this is the question) we would be in the access bowl conversation. Lots of things have to line up for magical season, but I think it wil finally be our time next season, I for one cannot wait!

Hope you're right.

I think J. Smith can handle the QB duties well. Probably a little different look, with more read-option and Smith running more than Higgins. But still, a potent offense. Defense needs to step up. Can't continue to be that horrible and expect to achieve great things.

All of a sudden it smells like, like corndogs in here.

Oh, hey Smel.

True story. The first time in my life that I had a corndog was at the NLU cafeteria the Wigwam. It was the cheapest thing on the menu.

They must have really caught on! Warhawks LOVE them some corndogs, nowadays.

I thought the LA Tech football team (or the athletic department) already had an academic advisor (or advisors) dedicated to athletes for that?

We do, but he can't baby sit 24 year old guys who don't give a crap. These guys have a degree already. They pretty much gave LaTech the finger by quitting.

Motivation, discipline, and integrity are important on the football field, in the classroom, and in life.
