Wow, that's impressive. And, let's not forget, Van Cleave has the potential to be drafted in 2004. Just like everybody is saying, we have the most talent in the Sun Belt. Now, let's turn that talent into W's.

I don't know who they are, but the young one in the middle sure is an ugly booger.

Where did they get those UL hats without the Lafayette underneath?

Oh the hours spent on the Lafayette threads. You just don't know how hard it is to remove them.

I spent two days (on and off) removing the Lafayette from my hat. My wife thought I had lost it (she is from Texas and does not understand).

Yeah, hysterical laughter tends to do that to people. We were discussing your inflation of 7000 women to bring to the minnesota game!

LAFAYETTE - Jon Van Cleave and the offensive unit apparently had a point to prove Wednesday afternoon.

Two days after UL Lafayette's offense struggled in a full-scale scrimmage, that unit - and Van Cleave - provided a picture of efficiency in the Ragin' Cajuns' final full-scale football scrimmage of preseason drills.

Van Cleave threw four touchdown passes and completed 16 of his 19 throws in a scrimmage session cut short by a thunderstorm that wasn't enough to dampen head coach Rickey Bustle's spirits.

"The offensive coaches and kids knew what they needed to do the last couple of days," Bustle said. "We had some guys step up and make some plays."

One of those was Van Cleave, the returning starter at quarterback who struggled in the team's 102-play scrimmage two days earlier.

"We had a pretty lackluster performance Monday," he said. "I was a little embarrassed after that, and I wanted to show that I could make better throws than I did then."

At one point, Van Cleave completed 12 straight passes, a streak that included three of his four touchdown throws. Two of those went to tight end Josh Joerg, who had been victimized by dropped passes on Monday.
