We have a great facility, I am guessing this will make it the best in the SLC and one of the best in FCS! Hopefully.

I heard Carthel say in the post game interview on ESPN+ that his kids turned down more money to stay at SFA and win a Championship. Not sure how many and what kids, but if that is true, then it worked out like he hoped for.

Thanks for running these polls down Coach! I am still a bit depressed from this weekend. All of my teams lost, starting with LU, with the exception of my grandson's peewee football game! I had to take a break to reset a bit. If LU had won Saturday, it would have been historic for the program. I was really hoping for a win. We have the defense to win big, but not the offense. I believe we have the weapons, and an experienced OL, to have a really good offense. We need to stick with McCown, and open up the offense a little more. The lack of offensive production puts to much pressure on the "D".

Rossomando has a big challenge to get them up for next week! A win by McNeese would be their season. We still may make the playoffs, but we will be traveling if we do!

Disappointing! WB and OL play was our Achilles heel in this game. Lack of offensive prodyput to much pressure on the D. Nobody agrees with me, but I would stick with McCown the rest of the way, however long that is.

I have to say, looking at the team statistics and comparing scores against common opponents, it will be an upset for LU to win today. But I think this team has resilience and a will to win. Let’s go Cardiac Cards!!

It’s game day! Go Big Red!

I hate slow days, Especially when we have the most important game for the football program in who knows when in less than 3 days.

We will need the same level, or maybe even higher, play from our defense that we had in the SELA game. And we are definitely going to need more offensive production than we had in the SELA game. Coleman is likely starting, I hope he has the best game of his career to date against SFA. A win puts us in the drivers seat for several things: Conference Championship, 10 win season, Seeding in the FCS playoffs and a first round home game. Not sure what what else the team needs for motivation, but they have two tough games left to get there. SFA will be the biggest test of the season other than NT, and the Cowpokes from Lake Chuck would love nothing more than to play spoiler and ruin all of the above mentioned potential accomplishments.

I will take a 14-12 win against SELA over a 45-42 loss to SELA where we racked up 400+ yards, but lost.

I just want LU to get in and win their first round game, which in all likelihood will be on the road. If they win the first game, that will give them a lot of confidence and maybe they can win two or three games and set up the program for the next few years. If that happens, Rossomando has definitely been a great hire. He already is a good hire! Hoping he stays around for a while. A winning program, even if the offense is not a continuous highlight reel, beats a losing program that puts up big numbers on offense!

Rossomando's presser from Monday.

Relevant comments about LU and the SLC in the Hero Sports bracketology article. SFA is in at 10-2 overall and 9-1 vs. the FCS, featuring one currently-ranked win over Lamar and enjoying a 10-game winning streak entering the playoffs. Lamar and Villanova are projected to hit nine wins. Lamar will have two currently-ranked wins over USD and Southeastern Louisiana. Villanova won’t have any currently-ranked wins. Both teams’ SOS are in the upper 40s or 50s. The last four in include a nine-win Southeastern Louisiana team at 9-1 vs. the FCS with no ranked wins.
