Louisiana's 34-0 swamp drubbing of the UAB Blazers, certainly stacks up there with the best games ever played at the Swamp. Cajun Basin never held more of a home field mistique.

In fact the Ragin Cajun victory ranks as the 5th largest margin of vicory in the the modern era, (since 70)

Great win for the team and Coach Bustle. I could not be happier for them. Wish I could have been there to watch this history being made.

If I am not mistaken that was your goal. I would have been happy with 15,000.

My goals were to low.

since my Saints & Cajuns won on the same weekend. It feels great.

Yeah you know it can only be a few times in the last 5 years. Did the Saints open with a win last year, well yeah it wouldn't matter they open on different weekends. Yeah it has been a while.

After watching the rousing 34-point shutout win over UAB in a monsoon no less, I think back to the Colorado Rockies success at the beginning of the 2002 Major League Baseball season.

Supposedly all they did differently was put the baseballs in a humidor to help the weight of the ball in the dry Colorado air.

I want to suggest dipping all UL footballs in Cypress Lake, just prior to any home game. This will accurately simulate the weight of the football in monsoon conditions.

Geaux Louisiana! Geaux Cajuns.

our attendence average after two games was 13,920. What a difference a new coach and new attitude makes. I am happier about the students turning out than I am anything else. We need to keep this up and shoot for 25,000.
