A win against TCH would sure feel nice.

This is a monster game for our program. Contact family and friends....whoever you know....and try to get them to attend this game.

I can’t contain the excitement!!! Will be a long 9 days for sure!!!

Yep. We all (definitely including me) complain about the lack of big time opponents and games at Cajun Field. Well, this is one of them. Biggest game at home in a LONG time

With what's at stake and how App is performing, I'd say it's the biggest ever, or at least the last 30 year's...

It's nice to have something we have not had before. Momentum and on the field results. People are talking more than I have heard in a long time!!

Coach are they all playing on the line or do you see some skilled guys in that number?

Greetings Cajun fans:

I have been an App State season ticket holder for 20+ years. Undergrad in '83 & MBA in '85. Been following App State football since we ran the Power I (3 yds & a cloud of dust) in the 1980s.

I am looking forward to meeting some Cajun fans. My son & I will be there Wednesday around 11:00 ish. Hope to have lunch at Fezzos and dinner at Cafe Vermillionville. I've developed a fondness for Cajun cookin'! Can't deny it.

As to the ballgame, App's offense & special teams are pretty darn good. Both are better than last year's versions. And, that's saying alot. Speed everywhere & the O-line has controlled the LoS of all games so far (incl. UNC).

App's D has some questions. If those questions are not answered, this could be an old fashioned shoot-out.

Louisiana looks pretty good too. I thought you all played us last year harder than anyone else. GaSo beat us last year, but that really was unusual b/c 1) game was down there, 2) our QB suffered a concussion early on, & 3) our best LB was ejected in 1st half. Things went down hill from there. We play GaSo this year on Halloween this year on ESPN (should be a real slobber-knocker!).

Congrats on your win in Statesboro. Anyone who can beat them down there has a good football team.

Say hello if you see us. Looking forward to it. Good luck!

BTW, it seems to me that it is a shame that Louisiana & App State are separated by such a long distance. Otherwise, we would have a natural rivalry with better attendance from the visiting side.

Listening to Jay's show. He's selling himself short on history. He mentioned that he has never called for a Cajun team that started 5-1. The Cajuns started 6-1 in Hud's first year (2011.) Did he miss a game that year?

Lost to Oklahoma State in the opener then beat Kent State, Nicholls, FIU, FAU, Troy and North Texas to start 6-1 before going on the road and losing to WKU.

I believe some of those wins were vacated

Right on. Just heard him mention it. Technically yes, but in the history books, no.

Cafe V opens at 5:30 for Diner. I think you can do better than Fezzos for lunch. Maybe Dons Seafood hut on Johnston. Unfortunately, you will miss Dwyers cafe (lunch only) and their calf Tongue on Tuesday plate lunch if you are looking for hard core cajun. Maybe you could try Johnsons Boucanier on St. John Street (you can have some kind of boudin) or Pops po boys on Jefferson street (ask for extra napkins it is a bend over po boy).

The Best Stop or Dons specialty meats boudin is worth a try.

Old time Grocery!!!

Dons Specialty Meats is the best boudin.

If you make it a Don’s day - Don’s Seafood Hut on Johnston - I recommend a cup of crawfish bisque as an appetizer and the Shrimp and Oyster en’brochette as the main course. The latter is no longer on the menu but the best entre there if you ask for it.

Billy's has the best balls though

Gotta get some good boudin balls too if he’s heading to Scott (or Carencro) Don’s

He called them and at the time of the call that was their record.

Vacate wins feel like a collect call from prison where they reverse the charges. Somebody made the call and somebody had to pay. Jay made the call, UL had to paycate the wins..

Olde Tyme is ok but he won't be able to get fairly quick service at lunch being so close to UL.

There are other places for Boudin, but being from out of town he might be intimidated by the rough edges. Guidroz food store has some good boudin but I'm thinking our visitor might find it a bit peppered. Don't even try the "Boudin with an attitude" from there (it hits you coming and going).

That was BS nuance for the voice of the Cajuns to pull. Really not needed under the current circumstances. This team earned the LARGENESS of the event on their own.

Yeah, don’t think Cafe V is the best choice for that day.....you will be much happier at Don’s seafood Hut. Sit in the bar area, it’s a much better atmosphere. And for lunch you’d be crazy not to try the French Press downtown. They have great brunch and lunch options....their Cajun Benedict will be one of the best Cajun things you’ve ever eaten.

The French Press is upscale Cajun. Johnson's Boucanier is more authentic. Dons might have some crawfish bisque that is frozen from the season. Kind of hard to pass that up . Dragos might be an option too.
