Godfrey joins Alex and Richard for the third installment in our offseason series, “Why You’re Always Bad.” This episode is about ULM, formerly known as Northeast Louisiana State. The Warhawks are perhaps the most consistently bad team in the top division of college football, which raises the question of why they’re at that level in the first place. It turns out there’s an answer. In this episode, the Split Zone Duo crew discusses:

* ULM’s struggle to define its identity, literally

* The program’s rise from junior colleague to I-AA to the big time

* The fatal error in ULM’s move to FBS, and how a series of predictable (and some unpredictable) events made things worse

* The rare good times and why ULM hasn’t been able to capitalize on them

* The lesson for others in the Warhawks’ struggles
