Thanks for the link. I feel like I cheated and saw it early. Once I got on it though I couldn't stop. I've been on it for like 2 hours. It was one of my proudest moments as a cajun fan. Not to be nit picky already but, the only thing I noticed was clicking on a baseball article you get the article but no link to the box score on the same page. you have to go to the schedule and click on the stats link next to the game, I imagine that will be fixed though, even the AN site had that link setup. I was so excited to see all of the facility photos. So much eye candy. Maybe when they're done with the indoor facility the can get a new overview picture of the cajun basin. So, I love it, Good to see it all there and ready to go. It makes our school look really good. Not to flashy, easy to manage, I give it a 9.9999, ok 10.

_ There is a lot of information on that site, but man, it is killing my eyes. There is way too much stuff going on (little graphics, doesn't flow...). Don't get me wrong, any Cajuns site is better than what we have now, but I hope that our's is a little more laid back and split into sections rather than filling the need to exhaust all of the home page property. _

I am very comfortable with the new site. Yes, it did take a bit of getting used to with the revolving stories, but my server, Comcast has the same thing going on so it did not take me long.

I am torn. LOVE the site saw it late last night. Won't go again today till launch.

I am torn because I feel any new launch should be given it's due. The workers deserve their big bang moment.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but what I would like to see is a front page article in the Daily Advertiser letting the community know abou the web site. Maybe not the entire front page, but at least half the front page.

Guess no one will be complaining. Ragincajuns.com is up and running!

Same here.....

I think it would be nice to let John Dugas & Co. know what a great job they did on the new RaginCajuns.com. Many hours went into putting it together and I think you have to agree that it came out really nice.

The new ragincajuns.com went live at 6:41 p.m. Monday evening. At 8 p.m., the champagne sat unopened and the cake was uncut in the office of UL event management coordinator and webmaster John Dugas. "We're still finding little things we want to fix or work on," Dugas said. "We haven't stopped to celebrate yet." Dugas and the several other UL staffers and volunteers involved had reason to celebrate Monday's launch of the athletic department's re-tooled Web site. Just getting the site up and running was enough reason, since the UL site had been either dead or on life support since September. "We've been getting all the questions about how it could take so long," Dugas said. "But we didn't want to rush it. We wanted to take the time to do it right. Because it's been that long, there could be a million things on there and if one thing is wrong, it's magnified. That's what we're trying to avoid." The site includes several features that weren't possible during ragincajuns.com's earlier existence. It includes a large multimedia segment that will include video streaming of live UL athletic contests, extensive photo galleries, live statistics for several Cajun sports and eventually radio play-by-play through audio streaming.

does anyone know how much that premium service will cost? I will definitely pay for that, especially if we can get a nice deal for signing up on an anuual basis sort of thing.

This is from John's article in the paper this morning.....

Most of the features on the site will be free. A premium package is being developed for a $7.95 per month charge that will include all of the video streaming and other benefits. In the future, plans are for a lesser-priced package that includes all audio streaming of games.
