Z, other than Payton and Long, I thought that ULM had better overall athletes than the Cajuns. How they were able to recruit a team able to be competitive in the league to go there is a question I can't answer. I guess you have to give credit to their coaches for finding talent others overlooked.

Now on to your favorite journalist, there was a women courtside who sat next to the person I presume to be the ULM play by play guy. As the game went along and Elfrid continued to slice them up, she appeared to be getting a sour look on her face. Maybe that was Tabby. Another thing I appreciated was the singing of the fight song by players and students. After the song was over, I heard students yell out "We are Louisiana". ULM fans and players likely did not hear it but still it was nice for me to hear.

Actually scored more than 50 in a couple of games, the most notable being at LA Tech and I saw that game. Had 51 points and left the game with 3 mins to go. Threw his arm bands to the crowd. Even Tech fans loved him. Most on this board never got to see him play. He was electric.

The highlight video they now play before the game has a few clips of Bo Lamar in action. Folks who never saw him are impressed with them. Thanks to Douglas of this forum for putting that together. Those of you who have not made a game yet would enjoy that feature. It does give you a sense of the basketball history here.

Said somewhat the same thing to my wife during the game.

The Ragin Cajun cheer that the students start and go back and forth has been getting better at the last 2 games. Hope we can carry it over to the other sports. I can see one in particular that has some special pants (looks like Mel's creation) that would make an excellent Cajun leader of cheers.

Now that is funny. I think Frenchie is the ONLY poster older than the Boomer.

Tabby was not at the game. Gannett doesn't pay expenses for road games. Buckley didn't go to ULM for the first game.

I LMAO reading some of these threads.

I second that emotion. And I'm a liberal who has experienced the warmth of Zee's embrace.
