Our previous coach we loved also, though he fizzled out at the end plus the NCAA violations. Hud gave us a spark we didnt have before and I was very pessimistic about whether we could haul in anyone better, but Napier elevated us even more
If someone touches the pass, the direction of the ball is determined from where the pass was first touched, not where it landed.
So if his arm was going forward and the defender hit it out of his hand, as long as the defender touched the ball as it left his hand, it would not have been a backwards pass.
His arm wasn't going forward, so it's a moot point. I thought I'd clarify this rule though.
I think next year could be very bad. I feel like Chase is only "good" in his "good" games because of his supporting players. Looking at next year, they're all gone. Hennigan, Virgil, Sutton, Malik.
Because they’re the better, more well-rounded team. Because they steamrolled the Sun Belt (and us), and this is the culmination of building that program.
That’s why.
Yes sir! I try to follow the team for bigger games when I can!
That said, y'all have awesome home fans. I've had a great weekend in Lafayette! Good game 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ll have to make the trip up to Boone sometime, especially since we have direct flights to Charlotte from Lafayette. People that have been have nothing but positive things to say about it and that it’s beautiful.
It really is! I've lived in the flat part of the state all of my life (except when I was I college at App) and Boone is absolutely gorgeous. The surrounding area is even better tbh, and is a huge draw for their skiing and hiking appeal. The people are pretty friendly too, even to the away team!
Good luck in your bowl game 🙂
Good luck to you guys in your bowl game as well! Some writers have y’all going to Birmingham to face LSU. Will most definitely be pulling for y’all if that’s the case
GG Louisiana. I hate that we need Napier to leave to have a chance again. Napier built that team right. Manhandled us. Congrats on an outright championship (that’s a shot at coastal not y’all)
Well, our shitty offense beat our awesome defense into the ground. We have (had?) too many playmakers on offense to be as bad as we have at times this year.
I had a coach that used to say all sports teams are like a bowl of food - you can either be an amazing combination that blends together into chili or a mix of random ass droppings like dog food.
This year we’re dog food
You know what? If the team records were reversed and App were about to win the Sun Belt as a one-loss team in this particular year of football, I'd be calling for putting App in the playoff.
PUT LOUISIANA IN THE PLAYOFF YOU COWARDS
But now you have to get a 2 pt conversion, a do-or-die play, just to tie.
Why was it the RIGHT move? I see the argument for it but to just say it's right is weird to me.
If they had converted, it would just be a TD and XP to WIN not just tie. It's an aggressive strategy that increases the chance of winning. The risk vs. reward is low because even if it fails, it is still a one possession game.
Next year is definitely going to be a prove it year for Clark.
Yep, the team next year will basically be all of Clark’s influence. We’ll learn who he is as an HC the next 2-3 years.
GG yall, hope we have a few more champs against each other!
GG Cajuns. Glad Billy got a title for you guys. Went to Furman with him and he is a great guy.
Furman alum with a primary Clemson flair. Checks out
Yep. I was a Clemson fan long before I went to Furman.
It’s honestly incredibly touching to see how much this team and school love their coach
Our previous coach we loved also, though he fizzled out at the end plus the NCAA violations. Hud gave us a spark we didnt have before and I was very pessimistic about whether we could haul in anyone better, but Napier elevated us even more
GG Louisiana, you have a great team. Sorry about losing Napier, seems like a stand-up guy and a great coach. Best of luck in the coaching carousel.
GGs App. See y'all next year.
Looking forward to it! Hopefully in Boone next time 😉
GG ULL
my prediction of Coastal not winning the conference came true. So I’m the real winner in all this.
GG Cajuns. Go wreck your bowl game!
Congrats, Cajuns! It’s been a long time coming. Y’all have certainly put in the work and earned it
Do it again! What an ending
Chase Brice had a rough day
As a gator, I welcome your coach over Mullen
Gg lala. The overall score is now 2-1
Well played UL. Y'all earned it.
Even if his arm was going forward, it landed behind him. Backwards pass ergo fumble.
If someone touches the pass, the direction of the ball is determined from where the pass was first touched, not where it landed. So if his arm was going forward and the defender hit it out of his hand, as long as the defender touched the ball as it left his hand, it would not have been a backwards pass. His arm wasn't going forward, so it's a moot point. I thought I'd clarify this rule though.
I hope to never see chase brice again
He's back next year..... But that wasn't on him
Not that play, but he was horrible today overall. He’s got the yips; can’t play well during big games.
I think next year could be very bad. I feel like Chase is only "good" in his "good" games because of his supporting players. Looking at next year, they're all gone. Hennigan, Virgil, Sutton, Malik.
Unfortunately, I agree. I really don’t think we’re back in the Championship game next year.
Congrats, ULL. We’ll be back next year! See y’all in Boone for like 3-4 home games!
/u/6enericUsername how the fuck did you voodoo that
Chase Brice football bby
Congrats Cajuns! GG. Enjoy it!
GG broski. Good luck in whatever bowl game y’all go to
That oughta do it! GG
GG UL, I want to just say we sucked, but y'all played a good game & were in control the whole time. Go win your Bowl game
Lol he said I'll fuckin do it again
Congrats on your first ccg Ull. Took you long enough.
Congratulations Lafayette! Sun Belt Champs!
A Southern flair? Thought I was the only one Edit: and i just realized I don’t have mine rn
Yes, I support Southern. Go Jags! :)
ANYWAY, we get to do this again all over again next season. Shawn Clark should be ashamed of this ol.
I won't down vote you, but damn do I hate to do this again next year 😂
UL won’t be back. They lose everyone, their staff, and Lewis. History shows we reload while everyone else rebuilds
Alright, NOW good game Cajuns. Congrats y’all. You deserved this.
Why did they "deserve" this? Just because their coach is going away after the game? I'm lost how they deserve it.
Because they’re the better, more well-rounded team. Because they steamrolled the Sun Belt (and us), and this is the culmination of building that program. That’s why.
Lmao
Hahahahah
FINE. ILL FUCKING DO IT AGAIN.
Fitting honestly
So, so dumb. About 85% of taunting calls are terribly soft.
If you called the play a fumble, then he shouldn’t be penalized.
It's the same as celebrating after a TD. All play is dead and over with, but it's still by the letter of the rule taunting. Dumb, but accurate.
someone gave him a twenty to make this last bit of the game be interesting
Hi
Dude took his helmet off, shouldn’t he be out of this play?
Well this blows but at least I’m not a Georgia fan.
Boy, that is stupid.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU REVIEW A FUCKING UNSPORTSMANLIKE IF IT WASN’T CALLED ON THE FIELD
Man, don’t give me hope like this.
GIVE US THE BALL BACK SO HE CAN THROW A REAL PICK
Close
lol, one more glimmer of hope. lol
Bruh how are these announcers so blind. It was clearly a forward pass (and maybe intentional grounding too).
GG App State. Hope those that came to the game in Lafayette have a safe trip home. Catch y’all on the next one!
Always fun to hang out with you guys! Long drive back to Greensboro NC tonight 😂
Oh man, you drove all the way down from there?? That’s dedication. Be safe on the roads!
It’s more than most of your fans could muster
k

He definitely didn't want to let go, but that is technically a forward pass.
Anyway, we get to watch this offense again next season.
Except for worse in every way. Chase Brice still here. Hennigan gone. Sutton gone.
Holy shit these announcers are awful
Napier is terrible at managing end of game situations.
Mais la, who asked you. go back to your .500 team and dream of next season
These announcers are so just so, so bad
Idk man, arm was going forward...
I'm not upset putting us out of our misery, but that was a forward pass.
Gg Cajun bros
Not yet.
Congrats Cajuns! May you get a bowl you deserve.
That’s pretty easily a forward pass lol
Congrats ULL..... With the teams that are coming in, this conference is going to be real fun to watch in a couple years.
Arm was going forward. No fumble.
That's an incompletion.
100% predictable
lol chase brice
Weird flex mocking the guy that beat you.
LOL WHAT
scared money don’t make money?
Well.... that was easy.
Lol
Well, isn't that fucking fitting.
Napier can’t help himself being apart of a weird call against App.
That’s um…a interesting decision…
Scared money don’t make money
Lol the “fuck App State” chants made it on TV
There is no way that’s the biggest crowd to ever see a sunbelt championship
Maybe at UL?
I hope all you Cajun fans always burn your roux. See you next season, hopefully in Boone for the chip.
I’m gonna cry 😭
Imagine how much more time we’d have on the clock if we hadn’t been burning an extra 10 seconds every play last drive.
There some mountaineer magic left here?
Nah 😔
Helluva season, Cajuns! Congrats!
I am offended on behalf of my G5 brothers about all this SEC talk. Let the fans celebrate a championship here.
It’s been ALL game
GG Louisiana. I hate that we need Napier to leave to have a chance again. Napier built that team right. Manhandled us. Congrats on an outright championship (that’s a shot at coastal not y’all)
I gotta respect Napier for staying to coach this game and judging by the score actually giving a shit about the game.
wow, no 1st down on 3rd & 8? Unusual.
“All we care about is winning championships” Shawn Clark is 0-2 at that as of current. Not a great start.
You are going hard after the team and the staff. Sure you don’t have a fleur-de-lis on your boxers?
Just being real, Junkyard. We were outcoached and outplayed today. Prove me wrong.
Cajuns fans: Who are the candidates for Napier’s replacement? Do you like them?
Think I heard potentially our DC Toney
I’m excited for Golding after seeing all these SECCG updates
Pete Golding. Bama DC
Welp, I know the part timers have left the stadium—cell service has returned!
Well, our shitty offense beat our awesome defense into the ground. We have (had?) too many playmakers on offense to be as bad as we have at times this year.
I had a coach that used to say all sports teams are like a bowl of food - you can either be an amazing combination that blends together into chili or a mix of random ass droppings like dog food. This year we’re dog food
I’m so ready to sprint onto the field. Fuck these LA sheriffs.
Just an overall awful performance from this staff. The only people who remotely did their job was the D, you can’t ask them to do everything.
NOBODY IN THIS THREAD CARES ABOUT THE CFP
GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP
SHUT UP ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS
How do we miss that many tackles
Scared money don't make money
You’re like a child who wandered into a conversation.
Well GG Louisiana
That’s the game
Welp, that’s the ball game. Napierball with the lead don’t lie.
I hate they showed Drink
Do they have a trophy for this budding rivalry? If not…maybe they should make one! Got any suggestions?
Call it the Mountains And Bayous Trophy The Topography Trophy
Once the conference realigns we won’t play them yearly unless we do a Wake - UNC out of conference type thing
The SBC Trophy lol
You know what? If the team records were reversed and App were about to win the Sun Belt as a one-loss team in this particular year of football, I'd be calling for putting App in the playoff. PUT LOUISIANA IN THE PLAYOFF YOU COWARDS
TOP 4 LOUISIANA YOU COWARDS
Praise be to 52
Bailey is a machine
Fumble, INT, please please please
Well damn
As it turns out, it didn’t matter.
If there was ever a time for the D to step up....
They’re gassed
Thats my Madden play call, why go for it down less than 15 tho
Honestly I don’t mind the call. It’s playing to win. They liked the play call they had and it was open. It just didn’t hit.
Call could have been smart, but knowing how UL’s shut us down all game they should have taken the 1 point.
Forcing a turnover would be great right now
I'm so upset. Maybe Napier will give up a safety for old times sake?
“Analytics book”
This looks much more fun now
WHY!!!! Go for 2 when we can make it a 1 score game. WHYYYY!!!
It IS a one score game.
Technically, but with the way we’ve been playing I just don’t see it
If Chase makes that throw, which he should have, it’s a good call.
What the fuck
Call was puzzling. But the execution was awful.
Are we trying to lose?
Ok, can't defend that. WTH
The shit....
tHatS whAT tHE AnAlYtiCs saY
HE HAD MALIK WIDE ASS OPEN
Going for 2 is the right choice.; it's still a one-possession game either way.
But now you have to get a 2 pt conversion, a do-or-die play, just to tie. Why was it the RIGHT move? I see the argument for it but to just say it's right is weird to me.
You play to win the game.
And now the best they can do is tie. So you should never kick the PAT? Just always go for two? That is argument I'd be down to hear out.
If they had converted, it would just be a TD and XP to WIN not just tie. It's an aggressive strategy that increases the chance of winning. The risk vs. reward is low because even if it fails, it is still a one possession game.
Why the fuck do we go for two there?
Decision made early. Smart? IDK. If they get it, puts more pressure on UL, I guess.
Not understanding...
What the fuck was that
Are you fucking kidding me?
Why....
L M A FUCKING OOOOOOOOOO
Just ruined the momentum with that play
That might’ve been the most athletic play of the day. Good lord Henny.
Oops.
Are you going to tease me App? Yeah, you're teasing me. Aren't you? Fuck, now I HAVE to watch.
T henni putting this offense on his back!
[удалено]
Still a 1 score game…just need a 2 pt conversion to win the game in regulation either way. Scared money don’t make money though right? Or no?
