NSU at NSU (Nicholls)

[Reality Check]

This is probably the last week I will post. I have all but given up. Good luck to the team, but based on how we have played, we are in for another loss. We seldom play well in Thibodaux anyway.

Agreed. We just haven't progressed nearly as much as we needed to in these 5 games. We are 0-5, and only 1 of the losses was by less than 2 TD's. Among the highlights in those 5 games are that we are in the bottom 15 in the nation in scoring offense, scoring defense, turnover margin, and sacks allowed. At this point I would be surprised if we pulled off more than one win this season. I still believe there's too much talent on the roster to be anywhere near this bad. We are not playing to our capabilities. But the losses still stink regardless of the reason. I am tired of them, and embarrassed for my alma mater.

Can someone please win that Powerball jackpot and donate the money for NSU to completely overhaul the athletic department?

I think we have the right athletic director in place. The issue was with the previous administration and the buddy-buddy deals which have sunk the program over the past decade and a half. The only bright spot in the past 15 years is a win over Louisiana Tech.

I feel that Laird got another year because of the late season wins last year but let's be honest, those games were won against non factors in the Southland Conference.

Now this year and it's the same ole story. Disappointment and a bunch of transfers that were cast-offs from other programs. Hue Jackson is a QB guru, why didn't he want Hawkins? Craig Bohl started the NDSU dynasty and if NSU fans remember, he put a whipping on us here in Turpin before the dynasty started. Staying on course, why didn't he want VanderWaal? Or why didn't he turn the corner at Idaho State?

Sometimes when you get transfers, they didn't pan out at other locations because they are simply not that good. Division II schools like Midwestern State previously could come into Turpin right now and beat us down. The program needs a fresh scrub from top to bottom.

And someone said previously that we have talent. This is true, we have talent but the level of coaching needed to make the talent better is not there. Take a look a Javon Antonio at Colorado as an example. Finally making plays for Coach Prime and made a lot of plays here at NSU. Now give him the right coaching staff and he thrives. I watched the Montana Coach after the game last year...you could see the respect they had for Antonio.

Laird lived off the year that Jazz Ferguson had and has done nothing since. We need an outsider who has no ties to this university to fix the program. Gipson did it in basketball and it's time for the same to be done with football. If we can't, drop us to D2 because that's how bad this is.

This poster speaks truth ^^^. Not much else should be added. I don't see any reason why we can't remain FCS with the right coaching staff and proper transfers, though.

Game is cancelled due to the death of a Northwestern player.

Happened at the Frog Pond Apartments. What is going on in Natchitoches?

[Reality Check]

Tragic. Seems he was shot at the apartment complex and died before help arrived. That's all that has been released.

. What is going on in Natchitoches?

The same thing that is going on everywhere!

This is just terrible. That young feller lost his life at 21. We have to be living in the perilous times written about in the scriptures. The birth pangs. Ain't nothing normal about life today. Buckle up, boys. You may see things you never imagined. For me, I have done and already seen things I never imagined and I'm older than most of you.

Does football even matter when these things happen? People are so caught up in who wins this or that (me included). It just doesn't matter. Life is way more important than sports. My goodness. What a senseless tragedy.
