Football Stats

Here are the final team stats.

Passing Offense 128
Passing Efficiency 124

Total Defense Tied for 84
Rushing Defense 120
Passing Yards Allowed 25

Net Punting 108 with a 36.84 avg. We need a new punter. Maybe one who can also kickoff. If I remember we only had 15 touchbacks.

Armenta ended the year 116 out of 120 Quarterback in passing efficiency.

Basketball Tweet

So, MBB tweeted the final score from last night. Being pissed off, I responded "our players and the fans deserve better. We've been outcoached all year long." Here's the interesting part: I was immediately followed by Newton Mealer. He is the HC of Jones CC (same place as Missy). He has been a very successful high school and AAU coach and had a 61-26 record in his first 3 years at Jones. He is followed by Missy and her staff and Hartwell. I wonder if Hartwell could be thinking of a Missy 2.0

On a side note, Devon Hancock (ULM Player) liked my tweet as well.

Collapse

That’s all you can call it. 5-1 to 5-7: collapse. Doesn’t matter that Vegas had us at 1.5 or 2.5 wins. Doesn’t matter that we beat that in the first half of the season. The end result is we lost the last 6 games of the year, 4 by double digits. That’s failure. Anyone who says otherwise is just coping with that failure. Coaching staff hasn’t been able to eliminate stupid penalties all year, offense has been predictable, WRs couldn’t catch when they needed to. If it weren’t for Hardy our offense would have been just as bad (and maybe worse) as what Kubik put out last year. For all the intensity the team showed in week 2 against UAB, they only matched it maybe one more time against JMU and didn’t come close the rest of the way. It honestly makes me think BV just wasn’t as focused after the revenge game against his old employer.

I’d like to think there will be improvement next year but I’m not sold. Texas state took a step back this year, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume it could happen here too, especially if we lose all or the majority of our playmakers. I think there’s a reason teams were wary to make BV a head coach and we saw a lot of them this year. The weird time management and timeout usage, the lack of discipline, the offense being shaky. The only thing that makes me hopeful it’ll get better is that he’s still new to being an HC at this level. Maybe those things can work themselves out with experience, but right now all we can say about his first season is collapse.

ULM-USL game day

Go back and read the last comments on the ‘South Alabama Game Day’ thread.
Hoping we would not be going into this game not having the 6th win; well, here we are!
I think we thought we’d at least get one out of all the last games since.
I hope we come out and play with all we’ve got and pull it out today. Cause this is it!!

I’ll see you at 11; 12 Florida time!
