ULM's Malone Stadium Is Rockin' Hosting Baylor On ESPN

[NorthTexan95]

ULM looks good ... Baylor still looks bad ... and stupid.

[FirefightnRick]

What we are watching is a $60 million athletic budget verses an $8.2 million athletic budget.  Simply amazing what ULM has done so far this year.

The people on the Southern Meth board seem to agree that ULM would crush Southern Meth. And nobody there has yet to refer to ULM as Northeast or the Indians.

[Mean Green 93-98]

ULM needs to pick up their tackling.

[FirefightnRick]

That crowd in white your seeing, probably includes nearly 100 percent of their 8,000 and some odd students. The rest are alumni and Monroe area residents.

Damn fumble!

Commentator: "They just ... turned it over. They just ... fumbled it." Really, Sherlock? Thanks for that insightful commentary.

Their entire football budget is about half of Nick Saban's annual salary

Baylor has run on ulm...north Texas will do the same!!!

[NorthTexan95]

Well ... that was fun while it lasted. Good job, ULM.

[NorthTexan95]

Browning reminds me of Tony Romo the way he avoids the rush.

[JesseMartin]

Well, crap, never mind about hoping for that one. Now let's just hope our guys run their asses off for our game against them. Right now they are definitely looking better than just about all of the other Sunbelt teams. Please, don't anybody talk about WacKY, beating KY isn't an upset.

[FirefightnRick]

Did anyone catch earlier in the game the black and white videos of Stan "The Man" Humphries that they showed? Those were during a game against us at Fouts, probably '86?

That dude was a major bad ass and went on to play for the Redskins. His game against us in the first round of the playoffs in Monroe in '87 was unbelievable. He could stick the ball in between defenders down field while on the run as good as any QB in the nation. 5 weeks later they won the NC.

For that game, the home crowd at Malone was just as packed as it was tonight, just didn't hold as many fans back then.

I think its safe to say its Monroe's Belt to lose. They are VERY impressive. Remember this Baylor team took SMU to the woodshed.

[THOR]

They can score...but don't think they can stop teams from scoring...

[LakeTravis]

I don't blame Baylor for not staying in Monroe longer then they had to.

I think they were there for less than 8 hours lol

The local shanty motel run by Bobby Bushea must of missed out on a nice paycheck.

I'm sure the fans are thinking to themselfs

"Oh no! We suck again!"

This was their biggest home opener and game ever.

Their defense can't stop a nose bleed

Hunting season is just around the corner,so there goes over half of their fan base.

I see them never recovering and having another losing season.....like always

A lot of teams are going to do that.

That makes our victory over ULM all the more bittersweet

Baylor may not look great, but check their votes...not Top 25, but #27 and #28. If LaMon wins, that's 2 teams around the top 30-ish during the weeks they played them. And 1 OT loss. I hope we beat them, but either way, if they have a 10-2 or 11-1 record they could possibly end up in a BCS bowl in January. $$$$$$

You can't be serious.

What's the bitter part of that equation?

[JesseMartin]

You can't be serious.

I was, based on them beating Baylor, "possibly", not probably. If they went 11-1 with just the OT loss to Auburn, and the right combination of enough other teams beating each other down to 8-4 records...sure, they could've been a candidate for this year's BCS buster with 1 loss. Not anymore, though.

Houston, a much more highly respected program, finished 11-1 last year. No BCS bid.

ULM owuld have had to beat Baylor, Auburn, and Arkansas and remain perfect the rest of the year.

Even then, as poor a perception as the Sun Belt has, it would be anything but a sure thing.

Unbelievable crowd... Hope we look that good!

I guarantee you that if we were playing Baylor (or any other old SWC team), our crowd would look great when we play on ESPN. Playing Louisiana-Lafayette won't be quite as attractive to our fans as getting a home game versus Baylor is to ULM.

Northeast Louisiana had two back to back stud quarterbacks...

Right before Humphries was the QB they had Bubby Brister who went on to play for the Steelers and was John Elway's backup in Denver on the 1990's Super Bowl teams...

Brister has the worst name in the history of football, but he could play...
