I'm just glad we have an administration committed to the advancement of our athletics, and a stadium that doesn't have a trailer park on stilts for box suites.

Yep and you will lose to that same team you’re bashing in that same trailer park stadium. We do have a great tailgate area though.

Yes we will. ULM is going to obliterate our asses.

But I still wouldn't trade spots with you to save my life. As a program, we are in a much better spot than ULM.

But this is going to be a dismal year for the Chants. Everyone has a down year every once in a while.

We just gotta find a QB and we'll be fine.

I don't know man. Giving up 52 points to an FCS school (even a good one) is a pretty good indicator of problems that aren't gonna be fixed by finding a QB, unless he's Tom Brady.

What's with the smack talk about ULM's stadium? Is there bad blood between Coastal and ULM? If so... How??????

I get what you're saying... 99% of the time, you'd be correct. But this really is an unusual situation. Due to injury, we were down to our 5th/6th string guy (walk on to boot) last year. He is our starter this year. Think about that for a moment.

Our savior QB, "best ever recruited", from two years ago is coming off back to back shoulder surgeries before ever seeing the field. Last year's yet again "best ever recruited" was dismissed from the team.

We have 7 QBs on campus, bunch of retreads, (one true frosh being redshirted, I mean can you blame us in a transitional year?), and the same 5th string walk-on from last year won the fall competition.

Not hard to figure us out, as said above. Though, our true FBS scholarship depth is a significant factor too. We're still not even at 85 schollies. D line/Oline size/numbers most obviously, as was witnessed tonight... WIU is much improved, probably the best FCS team I've seen in a single game since 2 run-ins with NatChamp NDSU, or Jacksonville St, or JMU many years ago. Do I like losing to them? Hell no.

But if some are gonna pretend we're already at a point where we are able to just show up and "outclass" people with talent, despite our QB situation, well, they're delusional.

Not ULM, those dudes are pretty great. Just this Golota poster who keeps throwing out Coastal's win over UMass as our "signature" achievement since joining SBC, despite the fact we've been FBS for a month. He's really really set on ULM winning a bowl game before the new guys get one. Poor guy...

Because Arrowhead didn’t understand the love affair CC was getting after they got the “signature win” vs UMASS. I mention UMASS only has won 10 games in five Years and CC fan kept insisting their win was one of or the best one in conference beating a crap UMASS team. Then they chirp some and then get ass raped by a FCS team . They embarrassed the conference and should chill.

No your fans kept insisting UMASS was the best conference win even though NMSU beat 2016 9-4 Bowl team in UNM . You guys kept bringing up that damn UMASS win like you beat a P5 team. So don’t get it twisted.

I like where ULM is at. Next year should be good year for us. We have a very young team and had the #1 class per rivals and 3 or 4 from 247. We’re set up for the next 3 years with our guys. Glad y’all feel that way. CC is good for the conference. We lose 4 senior starters and 7 seniors after Dunn out for year.

I don't mean "we'll be fine" as in leading a game winning drive against a NFL defense. I mean "we'll be fine" regarding our goals we had for the year which were to take a step forward from last year's situation while also proving that we could compete in this league. Our defense and O-line isn't great, but they're young and can keep us competitive when the rest of the team pulls its weight. Our strength is our running backs who I'd put up against any in the league to be honest. WIU is a good team, but that's a team we beat with a capable QB imo. They keyed up on the run and they executed and we just completely fell apart. It's disheartening, but there's nowhere to go but up from here. I hope the coaches give Chance Thrasher a go next week. He's raw and inexperienced, but he's our best option going forward.

You and I, same page. But I'm not sure anyone on roster is the answer. Next year will see a new face calling the signals, I'd bet just about anything. Transfer, or true frosh. O line will be fine, another year in weight room and to gel will do the youngins wonders. D line, we need to keep recruiting depth.

You don't have to be at 85 schollies. That's just the limit. Transitioning you usually add some the first year and more the next. Hell, we've been FBS for 6 years and we still don't have 85 on scholarship.

I don't disagree with you I hope we can get a transfer or two to go along with Carpenter, but for this season I think Thrasher's our only shot at opening up the running game. He doesn't have to throw downfield a lot to make it happen. Plus he has wheels himself. He's our only chance at stealing a few W's this year and he might give one or two away in the process, but otherwise from what I've saw we could possibly go winless in SB play.

ULM was under 85 pretty much every year with Berry. They’re just not at 85.

You don't have to be at 85 schollies. That's just the limit. Transitioning you usually add some the first year and more the next. Hell, we've been FBS for 6 years and we still don't have 85 on scholarship.
ULM was under 85 pretty much every year with Berry. They’re just not at 85.

You mean just now at 85. FYI, I think most all ULM fans are glad Coastal is in the conference and expect big things out of you. Definitely want to make some trips to the beach for our games. Golata is correct though on answering how this started. I will say though I like the direction of our program under Viator and I think Evans is going to be SPECIAL.

Yes we will. ULM is going to obliterate our asses.

But I still wouldn't trade spots with you to save my life. As a program, we are in a much better spot than ULM.

But this is going to be a dismal year for the Chants. Everyone has a down year every once in a while.

We just gotta find a QB and we'll be fine.

I don't know man. Giving up 52 points to an FCS school (even a good one) is a pretty good indicator of problems that aren't gonna be fixed by finding a QB, unless he's Tom Brady.

I get what you're saying... 99% of the time, you'd be correct. But this really is an unusual situation. Due to injury, we were down to our 5th/6th string guy (walk on to boot) last year. He is our starter this year. Think about that for a moment.

Our savior QB, "best ever recruited", from two years ago is coming off back to back shoulder surgeries before ever seeing the field. Last year's yet again "best ever recruited" was dismissed from the team.

We have 7 QBs on campus, bunch of retreads, (one true frosh being redshirted, I mean can you blame us in a transitional year?), and the same 5th string walk-on from last year won the fall competition.

Not hard to figure us out, as said above. Though, our true FBS scholarship depth is a significant factor too. We're still not even at 85 schollies. D line/Oline size/numbers most obviously, as was witnessed tonight... WIU is much improved, probably the best FCS team I've seen in a single game since 2 run-ins with NatChamp NDSU, or Jacksonville St, or JMU many years ago. Do I like losing to them? Hell no.

You got curb stomped by a school that has been a bad program since 2011 and hasn't made it to the playoffs since 2010. And then again WIU beat who 17-10 in the playoffs in Conway, NC. OOOO none other than Coastal Carolina. You not only got beat Sat, you got your head kicked in by 42 points 52-10, thats not even funny.

And here we have a fan of a program talking to ULM as if their stadium looks like a 5 dollar erector set, no, that is your stadium. I don't think anyone in IA and probably not to many in IAA are envious of your itty bitty stadium.

I predict that Coastal Carolina struggles 10x harder than Charlotte ever thinks about.

Maybe there was a reason Chatty, Furman, Charleston Southern, and 3 or 4 other IAA programs passed on Jamey Chadwell. He looked like a lost little puppy in that game.

You can blame it on not having 85 scholarships yet, that you don't have IA players, that you have injuries, that its hard being a transition program. All failed excuses. When Marshall jumped after the 96 season we went 10-3 with a 3 point bowl loss to an SEC team. We didn't have the luxury of having 2 years to get up to speed. We played 97 with 71 scholarship players, 98 with 77 scholarship players (12-1 Finished ranked 17th in the country) an 99 (13-0 Finished ranked 10th in the country) with 83 scholarship players. We didn't have 85 scholarship players until 2000. Marshall is the reason there is a transition rule in place now.

Here is the harsh truth, Coastal Carolina wasn't ready to jump IA, wouldn't have been ready 5 years from now and maybe not even 10. But if you dangle a carrot in anyone face they usually take the bait. Except Chattanooga, they flat out refused offers from the Sun Belt because they knew they weren't ready, in 5-7 years from now they could be, who knows.

You guys went 3-9 last year and one win was mighty Morgan State. You guys must be awesome running up the score on a program rated worse than most D2 schools. Nah, we weren’t ready but are still building and upgrading - you guys have been FBS for a while, what’s your excuse? How the mighty have fallen ...

Speaking of Charlotte, we’ve played them twice and never lost to them. You guys have though, right?

Marshall is the reason there are a few rules in place now, right? When you recruit the way Marshall did, it was easier to win. It was also good for the jails around Huntington - kept them very busy.

He's our only chance at stealing a few W's this year and he might give one or two away in the process, but otherwise from what I've saw we could possibly go winless in SB play.

Looks like we've ramped up our JuCo recruiting this season. Just my perception but seems like we've started to make more JuCo offers after the season started and we noticed some of the gaps. Probably should have done so last season but it is what it is.

V Had to go JUCO / transfer heavy two years just to get some player in here fill the gaps . We even picked up a grad transfer deep snapper and 3 year JUCO OL during the summer. You guys will probably have to go that route for a couple years.

Yes we had a down season last year, why, we had a whole OL that didn't play 1 game with the same starting line up, we had 4 players just this off season have back surgery and lost a 4 year starter to a career ending injury 6 games into his senior year.

We also had 4 starting defensive players miss 4 games or more and started a whole secondary full of all freshman, due to graduation and players leaving for the draft.

You know what though, our coach was smart and didn't burn any OL of DL redshirts last year, therefore the RS OL men are all 25 pounds heavier and have a year of practice and weight room behind them. The DLine have all gained agility and can move side to side, And that freshman secondary are now Soph and are probably the best in CUSA and at least a top 5 in the NP5. Add in 4 star and 2016 #3 ILB in the country Jaquan Yulee, 4 star freshman Brandon Drayton mixed in the defense. Also we will get what might be our best defender back in the Charlotte game in Juwon Young.

Before last year the Thundering Herd went 33-5 the previous 3 years. Only 2 programs in IA had a better record with Alabama at 37-1 and Florida State at 36-2.

BTW you can call me back and talk when your program has 3 Heisman Trophy candidates, finishes in the top 25 7 times, has the highest bowl winning % (11-2 sponsored NCAA bowl games), have the 2nd highest winning % at home, it was #1 before last year, beat 14 ranked teams, I could go on but I think you get the picture.

My school has done more in 19 years of IA than your program will only dream about doing this time in 2117. Also our 3-9 record has nothing to do with you getting the holy moly kicked out of you by 42 points. And playing in an erector set stadium that looks like it belongs in some bad D2 conference somewhere. BTW when we moved up the NCAA actually had standards you had to go by. They required us to up our stadium to 30K, we had 28K. Now they let anything in I see.

I'll tell you exactly what I told Charlotte fans. You will never get the proper IA recruits with that stadium. Kids "Buy with their eyes", and most if not nearly all recruits you would go up against with other IA offers will see that.

Enjoy being the homecoming game for everyone not named GA State.
