See where A-States HC threw transfer QB Chad Voytik under the bus today.

In today's Jonesboro Sun. Anderson said regarding the QB competition, "...so it's taken us three weeks to find out. Unfortunately we've done it at the expense of three loses maybe." Ouch!!!

Did Voytik play, or coach defense?

My bad make that play only, because nobody coaches your defense.

How are your clients feeling about your analyses about now?

Since this thread has already experienced some "name thread degeneration," I'll use it to ask these questions (primarily of ULM fans, but to anyone with ideas, I'd like to hear 'em): Would ULM people be more likely to support referring to the Cajuns as Louisiana/UL if it could be coupled with some sort of name change or reversion for ULM? In other words, how much of the concern from ULM folks stems from the idea that having a UL in the state makes UL-Monroe sound like a branch/non-flagship/whatever? Are there still alums who would just as soon have some variant of Northeastern Louisiana back in the name?

My clients? I don't have any.

The company I contracted with is very comfortable with their analysis.

Do think that they had them 1-3 in going into SBC play and going undefeated in SBC play, with slight lean toward getting 10 wins.

IMO they are better than, and should have beaten Utah St, and just know they were favored over Toledo.

LOL. This guy.

24 post, what the heck. Little FYI, you might want to wait to the end of the year with your LOL.

Oh it's not that. Final record might come close now that they discovered Hansen can play.

Actually I think they though they were going to be rock solid in the run game from the get go, which would have worked to Chad Voytik's strengths.

Not having White, losing Weh Weh, and the fact their starting OL really had not been together since the later part of last season IMO hurt Voytik.

Hansen is simply further along , and really just better suited for the passing game, and he can run. That was where they were going anyway the future just got here a little sooner.

Just bad luck for Voytik that the run game did not go as expected, but that's just fooball.

My post count has nothing to do with it. And I've lurked here for years. Only started posting this year. I've been an observer of the stAte program for better than 40 years as a media rep and, later, a fan. But I don't pretend to not care.

By the way, totally based on the ranking of the roster talent comparisons provided by the company I contracted with, I posted A-State should finishing with 9 win's +/-1, and go undefeated in SBC play. Had a little lean toward 10, but also 8. That's it.

This year is no different than any other, you understand that "fans" are going to call you names throughout the season, take everything you posted out of context, then if your data was correct( and it will be more often than not) they just shut-up until the off season, then they began again.

I just remind myself they are "fans", which is just another word for "fool", and that I got payed, and there are no refunds right or wrong.

So now I'm a fool? Well OK. I think you're a swell fellow as well.

Condolences to Seminole Indian on his divorce, but at least now he can come out of message board retirement!

We are only two weeks in and most teams haven't played a conference game but you would think there are only two weeks left and the season is over.

Didn't really peruse the 20 pages on this thread, but I casually stop by from time to time. I do agree there was a much larger Cajun presence long ago, but there was a schism that happened (maybe a ban here and there), as well as the ban of Cajunfanatico (or something like that). All of that kind of turned me away.

I admit that I've been away for most of the summer. However, I do try to check in once a week during football season, but I normally lay low and don't post much.


In regards to the above post...

Do you think UNLV is a branch of Nevada?
I'm not sure if it is, but I've never thought of it this way.

Same goes for UCLA and Cal....or UCF and Florida


They've chosen to brand themselves as ULM, have ULM in the center of their football field, and even on their jerseys. ULM rolls off the tongue well and I actually really like the logo with the full body warhawk. I even like the warhawk head coming out of the middle near the L. I think the plain head on the sides of the helmet still needs some work....but I'm not here to criticize.

You will not find ULL on any merchandise or within our stadiums. It just doesn't exist. Try searching images on Google for "ULM football" and "ULL football".

Sorry for not addressing your main questions, but I just wanted to point out why you would assume they are a "branch" location.

There was a pretty big brawl between Cajuns and Tech fans in the message board sense. Fanatico ran afoul of the admins for trolling across the street, and they stripped his mod status. He was not banned, he just elected not to return. From there, we've had many numerous debates over the whole UL vs ULL thing, and we've also had an influx of Tech trolls.

Most of the Cajun Fan base from that point chose to stop posting regularly, though I'll point out that it was headed that direction long before the Fanatico thing happened because I fully remember the mod staff wanting to replace TuffGuy with another Cajun Fan when he resigned because of family issues, and finding very few active Cajun Fans available.

I'd like to bring them back, but I understand the reasons they have for not returning. Honestly, I'd love to find some sort of middle ground on this UL vs ULL thing, but as long as half the athletic administrations in this league continue to use ULL regularly, it's going to be almost impossible to stop over here because we're going to inevitably copy what our own schools left.

That's total BS. ULL does indeed exist. On TV broadcasts and in print media, you guys are referred to as either ULL or UL-Lafayette 95% of the time. In fact, the ONLY media in the entire state of Louisiana itself that uses the UL moniker for you guys is the media in Lafayette, and some of them don't even use it.

After 25 years or more, if ULL was going to sell John Q. Public on this issue, it would have been done by now. I hate to tell you this, but UL means Louisville to 99.9% of the population in America.

What does USC mean to 99% of the population? Does that mean the USC in South Carolina doesn't exist? Or that's why they go by South Carolina? Like we go by Louisiana? What does UT mean to 99% of the population? Does that mean the one in Knoxville doesn't exist? Or is that why they go by Tennessee like we go by Louisiana? el ae tech means nothing to 99% of the population.

She thinks I'm simply "monitoring" on another site.

Anyway though the comment by A-States HC about their QB was interesting, and rather surprising. While I've not watched them play I did not think based on what I've read that QB play was their biggest problem in their 1st three games. It appeared to me that they had a different problem every week

They do have one game left in their "pre-season" against a UCA team that is probably comparable to the lower level SBC team's. Maybe not the depth but for one game and should give them a better feel of how they mach up in that regards.

Utah St IMO compares favorably to the better SBC teams left on their schedule, and it is clear that if they don't play well for 4 qtrs they will get beat.

Their coaches said they have been getting better since the 1st half of the Auburn game, and it is hard to believe that they will encounter as biased a group of refs going forward as they did at Utah State.
