The Book: 2004 FOOTBALL

My predictions for 2004:
Record: 7-4
Attendance: 17,500


-Northwestern St. - WIN
If we lose this one, I'll CRY!! Seriously.

-La. Tech - LOSE
Sorry guys, I don't think we are quite there yet.

-Kansas State - LOSE
We win only if the "rapture" happens and our good Cajun catholic boys are the only ones left on earth to field a football team.

-Middle Tennessee - WIN
Last year we were equals, this year our Bustle recruiting class shows up to play.

-FIU - WIN
Welcome to D1 panthers.

-NMSU - WIN
We'll WAC em real good!!

-Idaho - WIN
Mashed potaoes in the Kibbie Dome.

-Ark. St. - WIN
Not the first time we will whoop an Indian this season.

-UNT - LOSE
UNT is still leaps and bounds over rest of the Sun Belt. But we'll give them a good fight.

-Troy State - LOSE
This is a good team. Well, good by Sun Belt standards. This is the first school in a long time that has been added to the Sun Belt that will actually help and not hurt our confrence.

-ULM - WIN
No more losing to a 1-11 team!


A winning record is crucial this year!!!!
This is the year that things have to start turning around, and if they don't I see little hope for us in D1. Its DO OR DIE guys.

I think 7-4 is very reasonable, based on the improvements in the team and the schedule. We could do better or a little worse, depending on how things fall. At this point, this is how I see it:

Northwestern St. - W
Despite being a 1-AA team, they always have some talent and play us tough. This will not be as easy as many seem to think. However, I do think we will prevail.

LA Tech - W???
While I think Tech is a more talented team than we are, their team seems to be in a bit of disarray at this point. We might be able to sneak by them and break their string against us this year.

K State - L
It will be interesting to see if we are able to match up with the Wildcats like we have against some of the BCS teams in the past couple of years (USC, Texas A&M, etc.) or if we get plastered like many expect (LSU unfortunately comes to mind). I think it will be more like the A&M game 2 years ago where we played a pretty good game physically but made too many mistakes to be able to completely hang with them on the scoreboard.

MT - W
A tough, hard-fought game where the Cajuns come back at the end.

FIU - W
I don't think FIU will be improved enough to make the game close at the end.

NMSU - W
Another tough victory for the Cajuns. Hopefully, it won't come down to the last minute again.

Idaho - W
I think the Cajuns a just a bit stronger of a team than the Vandals. Cajuns win by double digits.

Ark. State - L?
The Indians have been improving and this looks to be another difficult game.

UNT - L???
This could be the game of the year for the Cajuns. If they can put everything together for this game and eliminate the turnovers, they have a chance to spring the upset here. I look for an overtime thriller, with the good guys coming up just a bit short.

Troy State - L
This team is from Alabama. Enough said. The Cajuns usually seem to struggle against teams that state.

ULM - W
Revenge is sweet up in Funroe! It is time to get THAT monkey off our backs.


The 2004 Ragin' Cajuns will be a winner!
