3. bad crowd: 17k announced, maybe 14k there. on a beautiful day in a must win game? i propose we put a moratorium on making fun of other schools fan bases until our fans show up for more than just one or two games a year. where was everybody? had to either be the woods or watching lsu vs alabama.
the only guy i see bring it every game, every down, is broha.
we have had three home games against better than average non AQ schools (navy, southern miss, and fresno state). good but not great teams we have played at home. we are leading navy at the half and get blown out in the second half. we lead fresno at half and get run over in the second half. we are tied with southern miss and lose that too while playing a guy at qb that is clearly not ready this year, if ever, to play D1 football. it is hard to drive two hours to ruston to watch a team lay down in the second half of games and that is exactly what is happening. there is nothing good about the direction of the program. unless we win out, which is highly unlikely, this is a bust of a season and a very unimpressive coaching debut for dykes.
i see nothing positive at all.
