The Book: 2003 Football

[GreyGoose]

Thanks for all of the great input...

These ideas are great..

Here are a few thoughts...

ON CREATING GAME BY GAME ANIMATIONS:
to create the animations require time and manpower... unfortunately, we have a dedicated production budget that is closely adhered to. We update generic game animation every year..head shots game announcements, stat pages, score pages and the opening sequence all fall into this budget.

The custom, specific animation that presently is played is sponsored commercially and therefore a separate budget.. usually as per the commercial request..

THE SCREEN’S COMMERCIAL APPEAL:
The screen in essence is driven and should be driven by outside commercial interest. However, we must balance this with the collegiate college football atmosphere... Band Breaks.. Etc..The University would rather maintain the atmosphere and not bombard the fans with commercials..

PROGRAMMING WITH A LOCAL FLAVOR:
I really like your ideas to "localize" the season animations.. we are presently trying to do that.. look for some improvements in that area..

AUDIO CLIPS
We are limited by time constraints with stadium PA Announcements, The band.. etc for the use of the Stadium audio PA.. we do not have control over that audio... so to play any video with audio.. it must be scheduled a week in advance into the game script... ( a University function) and if during the game, time is not available.. we may get bumped... So all or most of our programming must be without audio...

LIVE SBC FEEDS:
This would be outstanding, however with limited budgets, and the equipment needed for this .. This idea would be tough..Updating scores we can do.. And usually we do during half or at breaks...

BORN ON THE BAYOU:
what an excellent idea.. I would like to incorporate this song with another request showing older highlights of Mitchell, Delhomme, etc... as a history piece... for a pre game airing... as for the entrance song.. Coach Bustle wants something , fast paced.. High energy... this song “beat counts” do not fulfill those criteria.. However.. We may use it in a retro piece as mentioned before...

PEPPER PILE ON:
Great idea ..our creative staff loved this idea... we will try to work on it... it is doable without much production... since the pepper is already produced...

Hope this explains some of the aspects we work with... thanks for your input.. and send us more..

GO CAJUNS

Grey Goose,

Thanks for asking for the fans input. Your example should be followed by others. We do not always have the best ideas but you never know

I cant tell you how excited I am about this season as well as this upcoming D. I think we have a good one. Ross is back as well as Smith At ILB. J.Smith at S/S and Both returning Corners. We lost a great ball player Charles Tillman who signed with the bears but I can say that the position is being handled well by David Prater. Our D line will do fine as well with returning starters and more depth this year. Man we are looking good ...... Anyone been to any practices?? How is the O looking ? any standouts on either side of the ball? Go Cajuns!

Stamps hurt his hand.

I like that idea. What other critters do you have already produced?

Glad to help.

Just a few thoughts on things I saw yesterday.

Ken Haynes is HUGE and while I have read he is mean on the field, he was a polite and good guy in person. Others who impressed me with there personality: George Benson, Ross B., Jarvis Murchisson, Josh Harrison, Terryl Fenton, Wes Simon and Ricky Thomas. From what I saw Darryl Blappert is quite a character. He along with Benson and Haynes are every bit as big as advertised and should provide our D-line with immediate help. Lamar Morgan is 6'3" and Jordan Jackson is 6'6" without a doubt. Watched the O-line early in practice Sunday. Leger and Chance were working with the tackles as were Limbrick, Batiste, and Cox. Could not see the guards/centers that well but I know C Ronnie Harvey and T Corey Glover were wearing black and Glover did not even have pads on. Heard that he suffered a concussion a couple of days earlier, did not hear how. Do not know what was wrong with Harvey or how serious it is. Hodges was not at practice Sunday due to a stomach bug, he should be back soon. Heard that C Mike Moore is no longer with the team, don't know if this happened during the summer or what. He was here in the spring. From what I saw of the WR's Saturday, Stamps is catching everything thrown his way. Lewis made some great catches. All the receivers have good hands, did not notice but a couple of dropped passes by that group. Anybody that has been to practice can tell you that RB Dwight Lindon looks like one big muscle. He must have lived in the weight room this summer. Well, thats the things that stood out to me. Hope this helps especially you out of towners since I remember how it feels to wonder what is going on.

Whats happening oldbulldog, u ready for the season ?

[NewsCopy]

LOUISIANA La. — The first true scrimmage won’t happen until Wednesday, but Louisiana head football coach Rickey Bustle wanted to give his squad a taste of what to expect.

Bustle and the Ragin’ Cajun staff put the squad through an 18-play mini-scrimmage at the end of Monday’s morning practice, and the staff liked what they saw.

“That was a pretty good session,” Bustle said. “The offensive kids worked hard and the defense flew to the ball. We didn’t have many snaps, and we just lined up in base offense and defense and got us something to look at on film.”

The Cajuns worked out for just over two hours in Monday’s morning session and just under two hours in the afternoon in their second two-a-day activity of fall drills. The squad is alternating two-a-days and once-daily workouts in accordance with NCAA rules.

Bill Sampy is confident that he’s improved enough to make impact.

LOUISIANA La. — UL has the kind of receiver corps that can give defensive backs nightmares.

Senior Fred Stamps is clearly the leader of the Cajuns’ aerial attack, coming off a 1,000-yard season, but he’s not the only threat.

There’s also senior Bill Sampy of Carencro, a sleek, swift athlete who was third on the team with 30 catches for 327 yards in 2002 behind Stamps and Andre George.

There’s senior Eric Bartel (10-130-1), who has sneaky-fast speed, and dependable B.J. Crist.

Then there’s a group of newcomers that includes junior college transfer Kemmie Lewis, who had an excellent spring, and freshmen like Jarvis Murchison (4.29 40-yard dash) and 6-6 Jordan Jackson of Bunkie.
