The Book: 2003 Football

[ATXCajun]

I have always found it interesting that a fan of one program, which "could care less" about another program, actually finds the time to compile hours of research into 1000 words or more about the program he could care less about.

Bustle’s second season opens at South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Imagine what it will be like when Louisiana finally beats a football team from the Southeastern Conference.

It hasn’t happened in 45 previous attempts, although the 2002 season provided a lesson in what can happen with a little belief.

When coach Rickey Bustle’s Ragin’ Cajuns played at LSU last fall, they were still shaken by Hurricane Lili and clearly intimidated by the Tiger Stadium experience.

The result was a predictable 41-0 halftime score and a 48-0 defeat.

By the time they got to Game 11, the Cajuns were playing better. They were coming off back-to-back home wins over Idaho and Arkansas State in Sun Belt Conference play when they travelled to face the Arkansas Razorbacks.

The SEC West champion Hogs prevailed, but only by 24-17 and only after they dodged an upset or possible overtime test with a late interception thrown by the visitors.

It’s time for another shot at the SEC, as the Cajuns meet the South Carolina Gamecocks at 6 p.m. (CDT) at sold-out 80,250-seat Williams-Brice Stadium.

“I’m excited for the kids to come right out of the box and play a big ball game,” Bustle said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Bustle is a South Carolina native who played wide receiver at Clemson before embarking on a coaching career that included a one-year stop at South Carolina in 1994. His father coached baseball in the state, and Bustle’s wife Lynn has Gamecock connections.

“I’ve got a lot of family and friends there,” Bustle said. “When I coached at South Carolina I thought they were some of the most special people.”

Personally I respect your entire athletic program. And I mean waaaaay before the Super Regionals a while back!

Many years ago in USC's Frank McGuire basketball heyday a heavily favored USC team was sent home in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament by a bunch called the "Ragin' Cajuns"! Back then I think y'all were called S.W. Louisiana. And this was in the days when only 32 teams were allowed to play for the NC. So y'all weren't in the playoffs by a fluke.

So it COULD happen.

So in my book I will ALWAYS take you guys seriously.

I hope USC wins but I hope neither teams suffers any injuries 1st.

Good luck this season Ragin' Cajuns!

Go Gamecocks!!!
