2004 Season Football Banquet

Did anyone get to go? I went last year but didn't eat or sit down.

This year I was there at 4pm (it started at 5pm) to install a name graphic on a glass framed #1 jersey that Bustle was presenting to Dr. Authement.

Once I did that, I took a few pictures and left. It would have ben nice to meet Jake Delhomme, but hey I didn't have $25. Also I overheard there were only 40 places reserved non player/family/coach/administration and the like. Can anyone confirm?

Anyway while I was there I was able to photograph all the framed jerseys that were to be given out to the Seniors of 2004 football campain.

Turbine,


Thanks for taking the time to share this with everyone. As usual, very nice work!

<blockquote><p align=justify>Jerry Babb, C. C. Brown and Jerrell Carter would do well to follow the leads of the men that presented them with their awards Saturday at the University of Louisiana's football banquet.

Babb was named the Ragin' Cajuns' Offensive Most Valuable Player, Brown the Defensive MVP and Carter the Special Forces Award for special teams at the banquet held at the Cajundome Convention Center.

Babb's award was presented by former Cajun and current Carolina Panther quarterback Jake Delhomme. Carter won the award named after ex-Cajun standout Brian Mitchell and presented by the NFL's all-time career leader in kick return yardage.

Brown, who was participating in Saturday's Hula Bowl in Honolulu and was unable to attend the banquet, accepted his award on video from Chicago Bears defensive back Charles Tillman, himself a two-time winner of the Cajuns' defensive MVP award.

The top awards were voted upon by members of the UL squad, which finished 4-7 during the 2004 season. The team also voted on the Captain's Awards, which were presented to running back Dwight Lindon and center Ronnie Harvey on offense, Brown and linebacker Stanley Smith on defense and Carter on special teams.

The Cajun players also voted awards for the biggest hits of the season, with Lindon winning the "Thumper" award on offense for a block against Arkansas State, Smith and Rodney Hardaway sharing the "Hammer" award on defense for hits against Troy and North Texas respectively, and Carter winning the "Kahuna" award on special teams for a hit against UL Monroe.

I did not see either Dwight Lindon or Bill Sampy's jersey among the senior jerseys that you have shown. Should we expect to see these two back next season. Both would really help. We are thin on experience at receiver and really neen Sampy to return. Does anyone have info. on their situation. Thanks.

I managed to get a few photos, but nothing like the "Master" has posted.

CajunCharlie, I had my fingers crossd that you made it. Thanks for coming through.

We had a good representation from the Krewe, Turbine. I looked for you, but to no avail.

I took a number of photos of the past great quaterbacks. I am certain there was no doubt in the minds of the recruits in attendance that UL was the right choice. Particularly after Mitchell's presentation.

Here is a photo of past great and future great UL QB.

Last photo I will bore you with. It is of the man who "drives the bus", his wife, and friends.

I never met Jake.

Jer looks like he belongs.

Actually, I should have said One great past QB, because Mitchell isn't exactly "chump change":)
