Joe Scott is a solid addition and is a true middle linebacker at 6-3, 235 lbs. Scott originally signed with Southern Miss. Out of high school and transferred after one year to JC because of academics.

Just to add my two cents here;

Scott didn't leave b/c of academics; he ended up copping an attitude and Bower told him to walk.

I'm really hoping it was just a short-term thing (maybe something going on at home?). If so, and he's got himself pulled back together, he should be a really good one for you. Hope it works out.

Antwain Spann can run faster backwards than I can forwards.

Is there a print out or listing of the players forty times last week during the pro-timing. I understand we broke 40 or more strenght records is this information available? How well are our safties and linebackers doing? I have not read much on Ross so far this spring. Please give us any info you have GURU. Also no info on JOe Scott. How does he look?

Attended my first practice of the spring and came away very impressed. First impression was how much bigger the team looks compared to last year. Coach Brad Ohrt and the team appear to have been working really hard as the size and strength of the team is greatly improved. Second impression was it was very difficult to figure out who some of the players were as many have changed numbers (for example QB Jerry Babb is now wearing #15 vs. #17 last year) and all the new players both Juco and Redshirts now playing. The following are some of the players who did not practice or were limited in practice: QB Eric Rekieta, OT Demetrios Brooks, DE Antonio Floyd and DB Ricky Thomas.

Really enjoyed meeting Zeebart and talking with him and Crawfish. It was a great day for football practice. Can't wait for 09/06/03

SwampFox, really enjoyed meeting you today.

Great article about todays scrimmage.. Good Job.

Thought it was great seeing ex-players at the scrimmage.

Jonathan Rausch[sp?], Charles Tillman, Bill Delahousaye, and even Jon VanCleve were there today.

Two hours well spent.

Yes it was. Besides having the pleasure of meeting Z, I also had the pleasure of meeting mickzat and not sure what his handle is here but on Delphi it is RWCAJUN, who gave me the the scoop on Brooks' injury. Hope to make it out to some practices this week and put some names to the numbers I did not know (working on a spring roster) as well as trying to figure out who stands where on the depth chart.

Ditto to everything that has been stated so far. It was a great day for football and an enjoyable afternoon. As always at practice, I met quite a few nice folks as well as seeing several folks I already know. It seems like all of those who are involved in Ragin Cajun football these days are really nice folks. I especially enjoyed the visits I had with the parents of players. If you could watch the scrimmage and not get a feel of anticipation for the real thing in the fall, you are not a football fan. If anyone can come out and watch these scrimmages, I'd advise you to do so and I guarantee you will enjoy it.

LAFAYETTE — A scripted 49-play scrimmage on Saturday afternoon ended the fifth practice of the spring for Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajun football team as coach Rickey Bustle led his team through seven 7-play offense-vs.-defense sets.

The contact drills were the first for the Cajuns this spring.

“I like the effort out there,” Bustle told his team. “We are going to take the film and evaluate it and get better as a team.”

The offense dominated the scrimmage early. Jerry Babb hit Fred Stamps over the middle for a 50-yard touchdown on the first-team offense’s first series against the second team defense.

The first team offense continued to move the ball at will in its second series against the second-team defense. Babb hit Eric Bartel for a 20-yard gain and later connected with Bill Sampy for 21 yards on a third-and-10 play.
