Wait.. we can make fun of the school for various reasons but because the pbp guy was excited for calling a touchdown in double ot in a rivalry game?
I acted the same way calling the end of the union high vs many football game on Friday
Night.
I expect Dave to act the same way if the dawgs vs Usm game ended the same way.
Go watch the game on ESPN3, NLU should have won by 3 or 4 TD's. Stupid Viator should have gone for the fourth and inches before USL's last TD drive in regulation, since his defense could not stop USL at that time. Get a fourth and inches, which based on the entire game, should have been very easy for them, and the game is over. Instead, he decides that NLU can't get inches and just gives up the fourth down and punts and gives USL the last chance they needed.
Viator's stupid play calling in the 4th qtr basically gave away a 3-TD lead in the fourth.
Poor coaching on both sides and I've NEVER seen a college game with more poor/broken tackles. It was pathetic.
USL has easily one of the worst run defenses in the country but NLU/Viator starts the game trying to establish the pass.
This weeks ESPN Bottom Ten:
Waiting list: EC-Yew (1-3), Living on Tulsa Time (1-3), UNC Tear Heels(1-3), Kansas Nayhawks (1-3), South Alabama (1-3), In A Rut-gers (1-3), Minute Rice (1-3), Akron (1-3), San No-se State (1-4), OH-regon State (1-3), and again, basically the entire Fun Belt (12 teams, 1 with a winning record)
Say it isn't so! Louisiana escaped the Bottom 25! But Louisiana remains at #16. These rankings are rigged! How do you lose and move down....er, up....er, whatever!

That is good stuff. I particularly like the "quote" from Ed O. Makes perfect sense .
BTW there are some pretty funny stories about Ed O in and around Natchitoches-NSU. They were shared by some folks who have been 'round here a long time, and were done so in good humor when one of their own, an NSU Demon, rose to the highest office in the land: head coach at LSU!!! Wow! that is a dream for any true-purple NSUer who all worship at the altar of LSU.
Anyone hear Viator's comments on the Morning Drive this morning?
How he was both happy and sad that Troy beat LSU...
He was happy for the Funbelt's significant win and for Tory and their HC, but sad because of his friendship with O (which I get) and but also how the loss for LSU hurts that program (which I never get) -
Pretty sure 90% of the ulmers felt the exact same way -
IF EVER any of our HCs utter such non-sense it should be immediate grounds for termination
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Wow!
I can totally get saying that you felt bad for a friend in the profession, but that's your conference mate that won! If anything, he should have said "I'm jealous they were the ones to do it before we could." He absolutely shouldn't care about that program (but I guess you gotta know your audience - probably went over pretty well in his fanbase).
This is what separates true TECH fans for the most part -
Most of us feel and KNOW you can't support both schools -
I hold a 4 year degree from the LSU system in addition to my Tech degree - I have NO love loss for Baton Rouge even though I'm an alumnus of ONE LSU...
And the more I deal with BR in my profession - the less I care for them, because they truly don't give a rats ass about ANYTHING north of I-10
That said, I have the upmost of respect/love for my friends that are graduates of LSU and truly bleed purple and gold like I do red and blue - they EARNED it
The one thing I will say about TRUE USL fans - they basically feel the same way most of us do about LSU - same can't be said for ulm, nwst or slu....
