Very interesting. I did not realize that at all.
I am looking for Stamps to be the same type of player as Dante Hall. Small but explosive.
Yeah but you were there :cool: and watched 8 quarters of football you are entitled to miss a stat here or there.Quote:

How cool was it?....being there.
Kate, it was an exciting finish. I took a little break from house washing to catch the beginning of the 4th quarter, and then had a chance to listen to the end when we quit for the day. I called Randoo for his observations and opinions, but had to wait while Nat brought him down off the rooftop, and then had to ask him to repeat himself a number of times, because he was soooooo excited! Stamps is incredible - 201 yards, 13 catches, and 3 TD's. I watched part of the 'Pokes game, but fell asleep. It was nip and tuck the whole way while I was watching

If you can't appreciate the steps the program is taking you won't really enjoy the 8-3, 9-2, 10-1 seasons.
I know I said a win last week would clinch the weekend as "Separation Saturday". I still think it was, but the 4OT win puts a "Stamp" on where this program is heading. It is heading in the right direction against much tougher competition.
Bustle's Cajuns have played 4 top 30 teams compared to the Cajuns playing 2 in the years 1999-2001. Now if you add al the opponents that were top-ranked at some point during the season the number goes through the roof.
One thing to note is that under Bustle the team has never lost a game in which it was favored to win. Fans thought a win was in order against UL Monroe, and this expectation should never change, but on paper Monroe was favored both years. Bustle has never lost to a D1aa team, although it should be noted he has only had 25% of the same opportunities to pad his schedule.
If we were to compare yesterdays win to any game in the Baldwin era, it would probably be he Wolford game where the Cajuns pulled out a win in OT against D1aa Wolford. I’ll take yesterday’s 4OT win against former Sunbelt conference runner-up MTSU.
7-17 might not sound like much (to a person not familiar with recent UL history) but it is only 5 wins from .500 and 5 wins out of 24 will be easily attainable the way this program is headed. Granted when you play 11 out of those 24 (one shy of half) against potential BCS competition, it makes it a tough row to hoe. With a better schedule the winning will come then we can look back at top 30 teams.
Winning at home 6-5 in the last 11 games is huge, what you see in person is what you remember. A winning tradition has been started under Bustle, to go along with a winning record in (year 2) conference play WOW who woulda thunk it?
New facilities, winning, ah this is going to be fun, I really hope you will be able to enjoy the 8-3, 9-2, 10-1 seasons.
Dad, we lost reception at the beginning of the fourth quarter when the Cajuns were up 20-10 and MT was driving for a TD. When we got to the McNeese game we called Ian to find out the score, and he told us the Cajuns won 20-10. Later when we got into the game, the announcer said the Cajuns were winning 48-41. We thought it was a mistake on the announcer's part, then later they announced Cajuns win 57-51. So we called Byron to try and find out what was going on, and he told us about the Cajuns winning in 4 OT. I cheered every time they announced the score. I got some strange looks from Poke fans. Of course, I found out that at Poke games they cheer when LSU winning scores are announced. Who knew? At any rate, Cardiac Cowboys is right. They kept us guessing right down to the wire, but pulled it out. Phew. It was a lot of fun, but the best part was hearing the Cajuns won!
Thank You, seniors!
Kate, you are a dyed in the wool, true Red & White Ragin Cajun. I don't know if the Cowboys are that strong this year. I know they are ranked #1, but they are managing to win by the skin of their teeth. I guess we will find out when the playoffs begin. I do wish them luck, in particular for our child who went into exile for a while:h: .
I went to the game yesterday and every time they played I felt pretty good. Its not as good as ours but, its still pretty good.
You must know the song by heart, 51 points. Did the UL band get to go and play any?
2003 Separation Year
2004 Breakout Year
Next year the band will get to travel because of the money allotted to them with the passage of a referendum this fall semester. I don't think they were able to attend any out of town games this year. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
