This may sound off the wall but I think Bustle has been preparing for North Texas.

didnt the school do a study or have a vote on the beer issue a couple of years ago?

It seems like it but I can't recall. You know it only makes sense. Already there is:

Beer around Cajun Field for every single sporting event.

Beer in the Cajun Dome

Beer at Tigue Moore field

Beer INSIDE the Swamp for the Saints game.

Beer inside the suites (or so I was told) at every game.

Free beer given to those over 21 at the UPC hosted Crawfish Boils.

The first excuse I heard was no other school is doing it, and then when a couple schools were found selling beer, the reason presented was a feared liability issue.

It seems to me the liability issue exists for all of Cajun Basin, I don't see the logic for the Swamp being held up as this dry piece of real-estate in Acadiana.

Somehow “DRY” and “SWAMP” don’t go together.

After you count this weeks top 25 opponents record (and the outcome of the game) the combined record of Ragin' Cajun opponents very well could be 12-4

Lets see Houston won, South Carolina won, LA Tech lost.

Louisiana's opponents (so far) are 12-4 on the year.

That is a tough schedule.

Excellent post Turbine.

Although, to be fair, had I been supplied with MORE beer during the game for the last 7 years, someone would have gotten hurt and arrested. Namely me.

LOUISIANA La. — When Rickey Bustle has his weekly meeting with the Quarterback Club at noon today at the Cajundome Convention Center, the gathering will be well-named.

After all, Bustle is sure to be questioned about UL Lafayette’s quarterback picture heading into Saturday’s Sun Belt Conference game at North Texas.

His Cajuns were thrashed 48-14 at Minnesota last weekend, a score that surprised no one.

But amid the damage was an encouraging relief performance from senior Eric Rekieta at quarterback, one certain to provoke speculation after freshman Jerry Babb suffered his second straight subpar outing as the starter.

Rekieta hit 13-of-23 passes for 141 yards in the Metrodome, finding Travis Cones for a four-yard touchdown in the second period and Fred Stamps for a two-yarder in the final three minutes of action.

I read about the game saturday and it seems to me the defense got to Bab early and often and the running game was not much to write home about. Does anyone else feel that the linemen that went down last week, I can't think of his name. Does anyone else feel that the linemen who had an ACL torn was a missing cog in the ULL wheel this past weekend? I do but I'm not dumb enough to think UL would have won with him in the game but from what I was told he was going to be missed. I guess they were right. Can someone tell me who he is and what will happen to his year will he be redshirted? If I don't find out by noon my buddy will tell me tonight.
