That is indeed great news, but did anyone else notice that 'Acadiana' was misspelled in the message?

Blame me.

I typed the one above, and at the game.

There is no excuse for that, especially when I know how to spell the word.

I spent half-time trying to get the board working and on my way back to the box I asked Gerald if there was anything he wanted on the board. He verbalized the above to me.

i've said it time after time, the people here just don't get it, support your university and you help your the city and the area around it, they cry for a winning program, well, the coaches are working toward that, but guest what? they need your support to help get that done. they want better facilities, the admin is stepping up, what does it take, support which turn into dollars, how complicated is that. as for the students they want something for nothing, you know, they ought to go at other universities and ask the students what they are paying, they need to get a clue,,,,,,,"WAKE UP."

I'll leave it to the rest of the guys on here know a lot more than I could ever tell you, but I have a few things to say.

We are in the middle of an 8 year long rebuilding year, so we feel your pain. I see the light at the end of the tunnel for this program. Bustle had an amazing recruiting class last year, and managing to win 2 or 3 games this season with what he has is not too shabby. We still have a LOOONG way to go though. I expect a loss this week, but our guys play hard so if you take us lightly we could win. Our D gives you all or nothing when it comes to stopping the run. It seems like they either stop you at the line or let you go for an 80 yard run. Our freshman QB Babb has been a nice suprise both passing and running. He won't hesitate to run if no one is open. And he isn't afraid to take a hit.

On special teams, our Kickoff coverage is just plain ugly, so if you have a good returner it could spell trouble for us.

A few questions for you:
What is your record?
" " vs. Sun Belt teams?
In your opinion (all pride aside), who will win and by how much?

Gerald told me as I walked into the game that he sold (3)three rooms that day a $25,000, $15,000, and a $10,000!!!! Not bad and that was prior to win # 2!!!!

I saw Gerald before the game and he handed me a four page list of all of the projects that were finished, in process, or proposed. It was truely amazing. I didn't even get it back. It was passed around a large part of section "E" during the game. I love this guy!!

I wish we could find a way "dome" Cajun Field. I've never seen rain at so many games as these last 2 years!! At least the parking lot will not turn into slush now.

I must mention that some the basketball team and coaches, including Jesse Evans were in attendance on Saturday. It was nice to see them out there supporting the football team.
