Ruston Playoff Picture

Waiting....Waiting....

Ken Ramsey posted on his blog today...the possibility in week 10 the Bearcats could move to 31 in the rankings which would be enough...At the end of week 9...the Bearcats are still at 36.

If we can just make it....we believe the Bearcats could make a strong run...They have been playing a much better mental game since that 3 game loss detour earlier in the season. If they play like they did against Ouachita... watch out....it could be a great few weeks....

Good Luck Bearcats....There is nothing like the playoffs...and the Great Road Trips that go with them......

Opportunity to Relive Fond Memories - State Fair

How many of you who grew up in Ruston...going to the State Fair in Shreveport. Back when Tech played Northwestern every year...it would seem the entire community could be found on the midway at some point during the day. Fun times....!

This week the Bearcat game will be played in State Fair Stadium Friday night. The Fair opens today. In order to get into the game we will necessarily have to pay to get into the Fair. Let's take advantage of the opportunity. Dress warm...Following the game...let's take a strong contingent of Bearcat Fans on a stroll through the midway. There will be safety in numbers...and it will be fun reliving a taste of our past. Memories will be made......

Leave Nothing to Chance...

The Bearcats came up short Friday night...but the effort was there. Our fate is uncertain...this Friday night...we must win...and hope the victory will be enough to secure us a spot in the second season. We must dedicate ourselves to closing out the regular 2007 season with a convincing win...our fate will then be out of our hands.

How about those LSU Tigers?

Have a great week and let's prepare to travel with the Bearcats this Friday night...

Not Today - We Get It Right!

Friday night...We say "Not Today"...We Get It Right!

Momentum will shift...that's the nature of the game. When it shifts away from us...We step up...and get it back. We play as a team...We play for each other. You have not played the game since the 7th grade...endured with your fellow teammates...just to let your season slip away.

Friday Night...We Get It Right...and We tell Ouachita..."Not Today!"

Turn it Around!

It was a disappointing setback Friday night for the Bearcats. I am sure no one is more disappointed then them. Well, now we get to see what they are made of. Character is forged through adversity. The Bearcats clearly have the talent, and when their mind is right and they play as a team, they can accomplish great things. (ie: Neville, Nat. Central).

So much of the game is mental. The right frame of mind will direct the body to accomplish what it needs to to win. However, the right frame of mind must be shared and exhibited uniformly throughout the team. Every member on the team has a role to play, whether they expect to see action on Friday night or not. Every member must contribute through out the week in practice and off the field doing what they can to get the team as a whole in the right frame of mind to win.

We only have to look a couple of seasons back, when the Bearcats early on were faced with similar adversity. That 2005 team dug deep...and turned around what could have been a dismal season and a program setback into a playoff berth. The 2005 season laid the ground work for the 2006 season to advance further and to return the Bearcats to former glory. Every member of this team today...witnessed the winning ways of the 2006 Bearcats...every member witnessed their never quit attitude...every member witnessed what can be accomplished when ones mind is right. (ie, Airline, Byrd, Mandeville, Fontenblieau games come to mind).

Games are won by teams which consist of similar minded individuals. Winning is the goal, but more so, we should play every game with the knowledge at the end, that we gave it our all, we left nothing on the field...we have no regrets. In years to come....don't look back and think could' da, would'da, should'da...... Resolve now....to hold nothing back....and give it your all. Everyone will respect a team...that has winning ways...even though they may not always win.

If you achieve the proper frame of mind...with your talent...winning will come.

"Seize the Moment" Guys...Be all you can be....and the Bearcat Nation will be with you...through it all.
