Quarterback Jake Delhomme, who raises race horses with his family, is excited about Smarty Jones' attempt to gain the sport's Triple Crown in the Belmont Stakes today.

"I'm waking up tomorrow morning and lighting candles," he said Friday. "I'm pulling for him so bad, you don't understand. I want to see it. What was the last one, Affirmed in 1978? I was 3 years old, I hardly remember.

"Certainly he looks the part; you hate to say the word `cinch' in horse racing, because those words don't go together, but gosh, he looks like he's going to be tough to beat. ... Tomorrow I'll be riding with him -- I might even straddle the sofa."<center><p><a href="http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/8844857.htm?1c">The rest of the story</a></center><hr>

I thought the term "Ragin Cajun" was copyrighted by the university. Couldn't UL file suit? It might be a source of revenue. Let them keep the name but get a small percentage of the gross every year!

I don't know where to start Hammer58. The term <b> Ragin' Cajun </b> has become universally known, but the public as a whole has not made the connection with the University of Louisiana.

That was one of the reasons for the helmet design beings presented. University of Louisiana & Ragin' Cajuns together.

Check these few instances of Ragin' Cajun out there with no correlation to the university.
