Coach Bustle on Babb' passing
“That’s the youth part of being a young quarterback,” Bustle said. “On those deep balls, he’s got to hold on to the ball let the guy work. He threw just as the guy began his break, so he didn’t know what angle he would be taking.

“He’s just got to slow up a little bit. Jerry’s been one of the more solid ones out there. Really, it’s a group effort right now.”

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but not exactly.

I thought I saw the overthrown balls all land the same distance in front of Stamps. Even the one where he would have been if he hadn't cut.

What this was telling me (and I am no expert) is that however long it took Fred to cover this distance (about 7 yards) is how much longer Babb should have held on to the ball.

I have seen them do it in practice, so I think what is happening is the game seems to be speeded up for Babb. As soon as the game appears to slow down for Jerry I think we will see some excellent QB-WR connections.

Nice Pics. Is ULL sponsored by Chili's? I keep seeing that pepper logo and it's making me hungry.

I want my baby-back-baby-back-baby-back Chili's baby-back ribs. (as sung by Fat B@st@rd in The Spy Who Shagged Me).

I was listening to KPEL and I heard a discussion about experience vs. talent. For me you want to go up against experience because you can't each talent, and you can't fight talent. Except with talent. They were talking about Louisiana-Tech's 4 seniors not being as good as recievers ULL will face later in the season. I agree talent beats experience every time.

This is to UH1990: I don't know where the pepper came from, I think it was stray pepper ULL adopted. We are still the Ragin Cajuns. Question: Do you have a son of one of our oaches playing for Houston?

Turbine: "They would not face a more experienced wide reciever quarterback combination than the techies all year. 4 seniors"
Jay said: "UL will face more talented groups than La. Tech. Minnesota, OK state etc."
I don't know how I feel, I thought tech was talented. I also think Senior recievers can act out the part of being interferred with. I don't think the Cajuns were guilty on all those penalties agaisnt the techies.

I am going to revise a bit

Minnesota or Oklahoma State? With all the excitement built up early this season, would a victory propel this program to a new level?

Mind blowing.

I can't think of anything better.

But it just may hurt us the week after. I see a continuing trend here against BCS schools. Last year, 24-17 against UA-Fayetteville, then losing to the Monrovians convincingly didn't help. Then almost, beating USC, only to get blow out by another LA opponent, this time at home. A win may help the name recongnition for the upset, but what about next week? What happens if we come out flat again? Then what will the masses say??

A win at Oklahoma State, or Minnisota, HELL, even a win over UNT at UNT would get a great amount of fans to the game. Those fair-weather fans that left after La Tech, would certainly be back.
