I'm just pumped that UL is in the mix for consideration along with some of these big name schools. Football, however slowly, is headed in the right direction. ON the other hand, as much as I'd like to see our offense get even better, I agree with y'all who say we need to beef up our defense with some size.
God Bless
Its not just bustle, all non BCS schools have trouble recruiting linemen. Its much easier to recruit strong skill position players, that is why we have produced a lot of good DB's and not any great defensive linemen.
This is great and all, and I appreciate the info, but if we don't start winning, and winning this year, we won't be able to recruit period.
One of the selling points that Bustle has been able to use is, "Look at the margin of defeat we had last year as compared to the year before. We are about to turn the corner. You could be part of something special."
Guess what, that recruiting ploy won't work if we don't win this year. I saw some positive signs in the win against Northwestern, but we need to keep it rolling. We put ourselves behind the 8 ball with the loss to Eastern Michigan.
Let's geaux Cajuns!!!!!! .~.

Excellent point. :ms09:Quote:
