2006: Louisiana-31 Houston-28

[RedBug58]

Alright, so I'm making the 70 mile trip south down I-45 to see my beloved Ragin Cajuns!! Who else will be there? It's going to be great, my one friend that I thought was coming from Lafayette won't be there. I will be at the Alumni tailgating! I'm looking forward to a great game!! Hope to see all you fellow Ragin Pagers there.

We're going also & we've picked up 10 tickets so that some othe UL Alumns in Houston can sit with & support UL.

U Hou.................We're coming for you..................

Could it be we are getting a new WEBSITE, Yes

But we should still be updating our old website while making the new one. You don't just stop updating it! That looks bad. If you are going to do that, then do it during the summer when nothing much is going on.

No televison. You're stuck with me.

What does it tell you when you leave town and your stock goes up?

[CajunCall]

The writer uses term to describe the school that in my view is reserved for touchdowns,

Is the U LA LA touchdown chant our replacement for being robbed of the cannon?

Dem Cajuns will be in full force since there is a bunch of us working in H-town. We got tickets and will be starting trouble in the Houston student section. Cajun's pretty much run this town anyways, so I figured we can be as loud as we want without any problems. Any one know any good cougar meat recipes? We were going to stop by the Houston zoo to pick up fresh cougar meat and marinate overnight for the cajun microwave.

Only UL would decide to update an Athletic Website in the middle of football season when they had the entire summer to do this.

I am so sick of U LA LA. Thank you Dr. A for settling for this rediculous hyphenated name we have and our inability legally to be referred to as Louisiana. Our own limitations cause this kind of reference by other schools, only because of what they get from the SID's office, like what not to call us, so of course that is exactly what they do pick up on.

For the life of me, I don't understand why we don't just say simply "We are the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Athletically, please refer to us as Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns and UL". End of story. Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns is perfectly legal as it was grandfathered and the media will pick up Louisiana from that. I personally prefer ULA to UL for many reasons that I have stated before, but the point still stands whether it is UL or ULA. We are our own worst enemy and I am tired of being embarrassed by the media. Those of you in Lafayette don't experience it much because, thankfully, the Advertiser uses UL and Louisiana. Out of state, particularly here in Houston, we are U LA LA or Louisiana-Lafayette or ULL. The media picks up this game as a joke and an afterthought for UH. I really hope we beat them, no moral victories in a close game.

I've seen that!

To me that is the same AS NOT UPDATING THE SITE!!! What they have "thrown together" on the athleticnetwork site is VERY POOR info at best! I just hope that this new site makes up for all of this, and I'm sure it won't...we'll see though.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised........

I think you will be pleasantly surprised........

I hope so, b/c when it comes to other schools athletic sites, ours is hands down one of the worst. There is very little information available on it. I want news on it. Post stuff that happens on the site, like the big schools do.

Those BCS schools have so much info available on their sites! Ours basically just has a teams schedule, roster, stats, coaches, after game write up, and not much more than that.

Give me:

• wallpapers (so I don't have to make them. I enjoy it. Just hard to find the time to make them!)
• screensavers
• audio
• live stats
• band info
• stadium info
• gameday info (parking, tailgating, etc.)
• schedules
• FUTURE SCHEDULES (don't wait until it is 100% done to release, we know it is not final, let us know what the schedule is looking like so far.

These are just some of the things I expect from a decent NCAA Div 1-A school's athletic website. And I expect it to be updated MANY times a day. It should take a staff of people to do. I work with computers everyday, they can hire me (not that I know much about websites, some but very little), I would love to move back to Lafayette, and get outta Baton Rouge, and get away from these LSU fans!

Am I going to far to want these things? I'll admit...probably! And I know it all takes $$$ we ain't got.

rant off...

GEAUX LOUISIANA beat the Cougars!!!

[NewsCopy]

HOUSTON - Everybody's heard about the University of Houston's offense, but it's UL's offensive attack that will determine whether or not the Ragin' Cajuns go into Sun Belt Conference play off one of their biggest road wins in several seasons. The Cajuns (2-2) take on a vastly-improved Cougar team at 6 p.m. today at Robertson Stadium, making their final non-conference appearance of the season. Houston (4-1) had won four in a row before a narrow 14-13 loss at Miami (Fla.) last Saturday, and was drawing voter interest in both national polls prior to that loss. "I'm not one that finds positives in losses," said UH coach Art Briles. "But if you want to find one, I was proud of the way our players played with confidence and belief. We battled hard in a tough environment." Houston's success rides on an offense that is averaging 444 yards and 33 points per game, a lot of that on the arm of quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Kevin Kolb. But the Cajuns have rolled up big numbers of their own the last two weeks. After being held totally in check by LSU and Texas A&M, UL went for 408 yards against North Carolina A&T and 381 against Eastern Michigan in 48-7 and 33-14 wins.
