I just heard the Saints were heading out of Thibodaux and coming to Lafayette next year. Didn't they just sign a new contract?

[Cajun1997]

I don't know about them moving to Lafayette, I heard they will play (scrimmage) the Houston Texans next year at Cajun Field and the money will go to UL Athletics.

From the Advocate
It's going to be wide open," said Bustle of the quarterback derby for next year. Junior quarterback Eric Rekieta will probably undergo elbow surgery in the spring. That would leave senior-to-be Jon Van Cleave and redshirt freshman-to-be Jerry Babb as the Cajuns' leading contenders for the starting job in the spring.

I am glad to see this, may the best QB win.

Why wait till the spring? Hasn't Eric seen how long it has taken Shaq to recover.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the 40 times for the Cajun's? Is there another webpage that would have them listed?

[Turbine]

Nothing handy, I will keep looking. Although the media guide has it for most.

Perhaps I or someone can gather the info that exists.

[ISUCajunfan]

Hey thanks! It's awful hard coming by information up here in Iowa. I've been thinking about getting that media guide, is it pretty informational? Also, do I buy 2002's or just wait for the next one to come out.

[Turner]

I would like that information also.

[Cajun Express]

Why would anybody believe anything listed in a media guide about height,weight,speed, and power. Nice to read, but hard to believe.
