I'll never forget going to McNeese 3 or 4 years ago. McNeese fans all day ran their mouths about how they were gonna destroy SELU. We just told them it was gonna be a good game bc we thought it would. Turns out we were wrong. SLU dominated from the opening kickoff.

It actually is a cool story. I think it's hilarious the fact that McNeese is losing their grip on being the best FCS team in the state. What was supposed to be one of their better teams in the past couple years just lost for the 4th time in the last 5 years to our team in a rebuilding year (their one win was after 3 turnovers and only by 14 points).

Ron Roberts is 12-2 against in-state FCS teams, and those two loses were last year when the team was absolutely decimated with injuries.

But hey y'all almost beat Nebraska that one time in 2014...

They went undefeated last year until the playoffs. I don't think anyone thought they were going to do better than that considering they have a new coach. Congrats on your super bowl win though.

Yeah and they lost in the first playoff game...

They started the season ranked #11, I would say expectations were pretty high, at least higher than being a one and done.

They had a bye for the first round so they lost in the second round. Barely, to a team they beat a few weeks before.

This year? What do you mean one and done? The season isn't over. They have a new coach and new quarterback no one expected them to go undefeated. Although I would say the season has been disappointing so far.

Yeah my point stands, they lost the first playoff game they played.

Poll After Week One

They were ranked #11, that shows that they had some pretty lofty expectations. They were also picked to finish second in conference by the Southland coaches and SIDs before the season, being 2-2 in conference (haven't even played UCA or Sam yet) is certainly not living up to expectations.

How many playoff games have you won?

How many conference championships have you won?


You've gotten the best of us a few times now. As has SHSU.

I'm frustrated we aren't as good as I thought we may be, but we do have first year head coach.

But, outside of beating McNeese, what does your program have to hang it's hat on thats so much better than what McNeese has done?

In the Roberts' era we have two conference championships and a quarterfinals appearance.

I'll completely concede McNeese is historically the better program, but in the last 5 years, it is clear that we are arguably the second best Southland program (Sam is clearly #1 and UCA has an argument for #2 but they don't have a playoff win and one less conference championship).

Coach Roberts and Artigues have been making a serious effort to up our athletics and it is starting to show in football and baseball.

What a clown. A team with a first year head coach, first year starting QB, over half of its defense gone from a year ago, freshmen and first year starters all over the place was supposed to be one of our "better teams"?

Get real dude. Ya'll won. Congratulations. But don't try to talk like ya'll pulled some incredible upset.

Btw, how do you have a rebuilding year at SELA? Don't you guys just go pull a bunch of guys from JUCO? What, the JUCOs sucked this year?

This is assinine. If UCA has an argument for #2 based on those factors, so does McNeese.

I've linked to places that had y'all ranked #11 after week one and y'all were predicted to finish 2nd in conference and we are supposed to assume that this wasn't going to be a team? Y'all are either overhyped or failing to live up to hype, no time for excuses.

Y'all starting QB is an FBS transfer so don't try to use the excuse that we take transfers. By your logic, being a first year QB shouldn't matter because he was in the FBS.

No, it took some arse-clown Lions fans to get this fired up.

They've been a good team since Ron got there (I would hope so with all of their JUCO and FBS transfers), and they have definitely had out number, but acting like they pulled some huge win is ridiculous. And talking shite like they are for no reason other than to do it.

Not our fault the media and coaches thought we would be the team we were last year. We were extremely overrated coming in, for the exact reasons I listed.

I would expect an SELA man to know the difference between a few FBS guys and damn near a whole team of them. Haven't ya'll pulled schollys from high school commits because of transfers?

Not cool, bro.

We beat a team ranked in the top 20 after getting run out of Beaumont last weekend, I would say it was a solid upset.

Read the first page of the thread and go read the weekly FCS thread, it has been McNeese fans talking trash all week about SLU being "irrelevant" and a "flash in the pan."

So you got your panties in a wad over one comment on the Weekly thread? Got it.

Because the only other shite talking has been from you on this thread.
