I see that Mark Risher has earned the scout award a few times. He should be able to help at linebacker next year. He was a wild man at STM. Can't wait to see him play again. (Mark played at St. Cecilia in 6th, 7th, & 8th grade. Go Blue Jays!!)

I'll make the trip but I'll be with my friend so I think he will be my guide.:) ..O..
I always enjoy Murfreesboro.
I love your stadium.
Go Blue Jays! HAHAHA. How about GO CCS TIGERS!!! (I graduated from CCS many years ago, just had to mess with you!)
GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
<blockquote><p align=justify>LOUISIANA La. — Patrick Lamy had seen this act before, and the encore brought a smile to his face.
When Louisiana’s Derace James blocked a Florida International field goal and teammate Antwain Spann returned it 45 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half last Saturday, it sent Lamy back to the Cajuns’ season opener.
On the last play of the first half at South Carolina, Michael Adams dashed in to re-direct a Gamecocks field goal to Lamy’s waiting arms and the senior safety took it 89 yards to a touchdown and a 7-7 halftime tie.
The main difference between the two was that Spann’s score boosted UL’s lead at the break to 36-7 in a 43-10 victory.
“It was a good feeling, a good way to end the half,” Lamy said. “It was a big play for us. I was running behind Antwain, trying to get him to throw me the ball.”

The visiting Panthers figured they got a break when the game clock showed just under a second left before intermission, so they lined up a 53-yard field goal try. But instead of drawing FIU closer, it just drove the Panthers deeper in a hole.
Beating FIU gave the Cajuns a third win in their last four games, coming after a brutal 7-game losing streak that included three straight road games against teams that won bowl games last season.
If UL can knock off Middle Tennessee this Saturday, coach Rickey Bustle’s team would finish 4-8 with a 4-1 stretch run.
“A win would give us a 4-3 record in the (Sun Belt) conference and give us our first road win under coach Bustle,” Lamy said. “So, we have a lot of things to play for — especially for the seniors. This is our last game ever.”
“We have a lot to build on,” Bustle said. “It’s all right there for us. This is their last game together as a group. I really hope we can make it a special one.”
Despite that rugged start, Lamy maintained the value of playing schools like South Carolina, Houston, Minnesota and Oklahoma State.
“I like playing the bigger teams,” Lamy said. “Definitely in the beginning, when you lose to those teams, it definitely hurts your morale. If you play them, you’d like to have a better chance. It would help if we could space them out.
“But, I still believe if we play up to our capabilities we could have been in most of our games. As a player, you don’t have any say in it. You’ve just got to play.”
Lamy, who is fourth on the Cajun squad with 44 tackles along with three pass breakups and three fumble recoveries, won’t have any trouble focusing on Middle Tennessee.
In 2002, the Cajuns visited UL Monroe in the finale, one week after a near-miss 24-17 loss at SEC member Arkansas. They played like they were still thinking about that thriller, dropping a 34-10 decision to finish 3-9.
“Last year,” Lamy said, “we had just played Arkansas and we overlooked UL Monroe. Nine times out of 10, if you overlook a team that’s at your level, you’re going to lose.
“We know Middle Tennessee is a good team. I think you’ve got two evenly-matched teams. Hopefully, things will work out for us.”
Just to be sure, the Cajuns might want to concoct a third blocked field goal and touchdown return.

I want a home/away with Houston until the end of time because it's a fun matchup. I also want to tune in to those clowns on your radio broadcast that show us no respect when we finally win one against you guys. I'm sure losing to a "hyphenated" school, as they call it, would be the worst thing that has ever happened to them. Houston fans are great, but those clowns on the radio are as unprofessional as they come.
Can any of you "locals" post a picture every now and then regarding the improvements? Would be nice to see the progress.
I have to agree with her. Josh was the standout in the spring scrimage. He ran all over our defense. That was when we had a healthy defense & the same defense that stopped South Carolina.
No doubt raginpagin.com will be on top of any of the new construction/improvement. This is an excellent place to get the goods on UL.
Actually, the UNA game was under Stokley. And they are Division II, not Division I-AA.Quote:

The previous coach loses to 1-AA North Alabama and we were lucky that it was close.
We are moving in the right direction.....
This sounds rather generic but in order to be successful, I think next years defense needs to improve. Actually I would like to see the defense from last week carry over to this week and next year.
I know this won't stand but right now Louisiana leads the SunBelt in scoring with 168 points in conference.
This also won't stand but we have given up the second most points in conference 177
Next year I think the team will be OK on offense if it either improves slightly or at least holds its own. The defense however must improve if we want to challenge for the New Orleans Bowl.
How many of the 17-18 redshirts will be able to help on defense?
Richard Conner is also a St. Cecilia alumn at STM. Maybe we can get him next year!
