Massey Ratings has #28 SFA favored by two TDs over #93 Northwestern La. Sagarin Ratings will likely be similar. For reference, both had us losing to ULL by about 33 and we lost by 25 and both had us losing to La Tech by about 23 and we lost by 30. So, if Massey and Sagarin are correct, we will lose again this wknd. I hope they're wrong. If not, the wheels could start wobbling on the 2023 season. I hope I am wrong. Hopefully, being at home and against a peer opponent will motivate our players to believe they can win.

This is a must win for coach Laird. We have to enter conference play at 2-2. And thats assuming we can beat Eastern Illinois. Hoping for a Demon win...wish Chief Caddo was still on the line, but I guess I'll settle for a victory if we can get it. Fork 'em.

Already a bad start by the defense. My grandmother could have ran through the size of that hole up the middle for 10 yards. I don't know if it was a bust or just a bad defensive call but we are soft in the middle.

While I would like to be very candid right now, I will refrain from saying anything. I don't think I need to say anything. It speaks loudly for itself.

This is pretty bad but it could always be worse. Ain't no need to let it bother you. It don't matter much when all is said and done. Change is coming one way or the other. Either this bunch will get it going or another group will get the chance to try. This is life.

Do we have a capable QB? Asking for a friend.

What you are witnessing tonight is the fruit of the good old boy hiring system at NSU. Stoker, Peveto, Thomas, and Laird. Even Goodwin had a roughly .500 record. He had about four great seasons in 18 years. Roberts is the outlier and he went and beat TCU and almost beat Montana who went and won it all a few weekends later. Roberts wasn't part of the good old boy circuit. NSU football has been bad far more than it has been good. That is a fact. Until the brass at NSU gets serious about football, it deserves what is happening right now. The players are unfortunately caught up in it all. These current coaches are ineffective. The proof is on the field. Three games in a row in the first play to first three plays, we have been hit for long runs. We are losing to a peer competitor 31-0 at halftime. We're bad and everyone needs to admit it. It's not changing until NSU changes how it views the football program. Those responsibile for this are no longer involved or around. THIS is why you always hire the best candidates for the job. Poor decisions have consequences far after you leave. In any business or industry.

This is just not acceptable. This is a peer opponent, we can spin it anyway we want when it's a bottom tier FBS school, but not today. It would be almost comical to see a team self destruct on this level if it wasn't my alma mater. I have never seen a worse half of football.

We have too many talented players for this to be happening.

Well, boys. We're getting roughed up pretty good. I waited to see if the 2nd-half would be any different. It ain't. I'm about to eat some nanner puddin' and go watch Tennessee play. Then I wanna see how Coach Prime does for awhile. Y'all be safe.

I have many unpopular opinions about The Portal, NIL, and all the other similar garbage that has now ruined FCS and other mid-major college athletics, but it is a small part of the much larger problem mentioned earlier in this thread. The “Good ole boy” system is a way of life and existence in Louisiana. Politics, economics, education, and even sports are controlled and regulated by this cultural parasite. It’s ultimately a product of never recovering from reconstruction.
