This isn't easy. But for me........

Cajun Field memories aren't always wins.

5. Nelson Stokley's first game as head coach. Mike Gundy to Hart Lee Dykes. Most gut-wrenching loss I can remember at the Swamp. 1986. Was there as a fan.

4. The crowd for the Southern game in 2009. Yeah, they brought a lot of folks. But the atmosphere was unreal.

3. ULM 2011. We were done. Until we weren't. Brett Baer was the master of the onside kick.

2. Texas A&M. Frankly I think the Iowa State win on the road was bigger (in fact, I KNOW it was), but a great atmosphere...and Jake motioning for everyone to come on the field at the end.

1. The SBC title game. Nothing like winning a championship. And, it wasn't a fluke.

Nope 1990 was a home game. It was very cold in Lafayette that night, but I was drinking heavily so I might not remember 100% correctly, but I know it was a home game.

We won 24-20 according to ragincajuns.com. Again, I don't remember much about the game, but I remember we won and it was cold.

Ah.....good get. I was remembering the game in DeKalb where the wind chill was well below zero. That must have been in '91.

That game was on TV on either KADN or some other UHF channel. All I could get was a grainy picture, but I saw Nash score!

Here in Lafayette in 1990, as Dave mentioned. Low in the 40's, high in the 70s. This is the days forecast, I do not see what the actual temperatures were that evening.

Yeah 91 was in Dekalb. Ironically I was only 20 miles away at the time but I was too young to drive or else I would have gone. I remember trick or treating the day before or something and temperature just dropping. Froze all my candies together but I was happy cause everything just shut down but I still had my stash. LOL.

Ok guys, got one for yas….Oct 26, 1974 we break a losing streak that dated back to ‘72 and a 10-0 win overMcN…..the win was over Chattanooga Mocs I think 21-20 and Augie T’s first win at UL…..oh we used 3 QBs….Randy Fontenot, Randy Dufrene, and Barry Pollard…..big hug for Toby Warren after along with rest of coaches!

5. Road Trip to A&M back in '02. In honor of '96 (not present).
4. Road Trip to Funroe in I wanna say 2005.
3. Road Trip in 99 to play Tulane in the Dome.

2. Tulane in the Swamp. A friend of mine jumped the barrier on student side, broke through the Tulane line, got to midfield while the Cajuns we're lining up for kick off and began an arc maneuver curving to the tunnel. He said when he got to the top of the tunnel a cop car had the backseat door open, and he got in.

The cold Halloween weekend game in 1993 (Jake’s freshman year) was against San Jose State. Spartans had a future pro QB in Jeff Garcia. Jake outdueled him that day. We did defeat La Tech that year. It was Thanksgiving weekend and the victory earned the Cajuns a share of the Big West title. My wife wonders how I remember things like that with no effort but can’t remember where I put my keys 5 minutes ago.

There was A Cajun 95 yard TD pass in that game. I think it was Pollard to track star Harold Pollard. That was the first victory I experienced as a Cajun student.
