Touche'. Hudspeth pissed off a lot of people with his BS, so I get it. 0 for 5 against you guys is totally unacceptable, which is a big part of why he was canned.
As far as last season, our guys quit against Ga Southern, and really didn't want to be in Boone that day (straight from a players' mouth). Our program really sank into the pit over the last 3 years of Hudspeth's regime. I can almost guarantee Billy Napier will never do such things, and you will find that most of our fanbase has a ton of respect for App St.
But make no mistake.. We're coming to win on Saturday folks
Yep, Hudspeth was a piece of work and Napier has won 2 more games than Hudspeth did last year and got you guys into the SBC championship game BUT the SBC West was incredibly weak this year so you got lucky with that. So far, I like the talk from Napier and he seems to be righting the Cajun ship but he also has his own personal embarrassing history at The Rock which, to his credit, he owns up to. It's gonna be a great game Saturday but you're gonna go home with yet another loss to the Mountaineers...

The West was Weak. But we beat the leagues best Offense and Ark St while starting 2 walkon players (both out of position), transitioning a WR to CB (who has become a lockdown DB for our defense), taking the leagues worst Oline and turning it into the leagues best (no offense to you), playing Bama and Miss St, (rushed the ball for 200 yards against Bama, first time that happened to them at home since 2011), not having a full roster and starting a walkon QB who didn't even start at his JUCO. Not to mention, completely transforming a locker room and attitude that had imploded on itself. There's so much more I could list.
Napier and staff pulled that off in a less than a calendar year. And it's going to culminate with us hoisting a trophy on your field... It's gunna be sweeeeeeeeeeeet
