What to expect from UL?

[gogators73]

Glad to have you on our board, but have a request. Please call us LOUISIANA and UL. Your athletic website calls us Louisiana and your coach calls us Louisiana and UL. Yes, we are the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. But, like Texas at Austin and Nebraska Lincoln, athletically we go by Louisiana. Of course, we are just now branding ourselves that way, so we have a way to go for universal acceptance. Best of luck on Saturday.

No problem, I've been confused as hell with that. I've always thought you guys were Louisiana-Lafayette to distinguish from Louisiana-Monroe but have noticed how it seems everything officially from UF seems to be just Louisiana. Your athletic department should tell ESPN that. That'll get the point across fastest.

We do.... every time we are on an ESPN broadcast. They are very inconsistent in complying with our requests.

I think Florida will win something like 34-13. I don't think we'll embarrass ULL at all.

I'm a little worried about our defense taking your offense lightly but our DC said today that as soon as they turned on the ULL tape the defense saw that there are athletes out there.

On offense our big uglies need to be ready. They've been horrible run and pass blocking lately.

I say this with a full grip on the symbolic rope......I will be shocked if you guys don't beat us by at least 4 touchdowns.

If we want to have any shot to win this game, our defense will have to dominate your offense and we will have to win the field position battle. If we have to drive down a long field all day, we're in trouble. How has Florida's ST been so far?

[MiamiCajun32]

Yeah, I dont know about all that. If we score 34 points against that defense, I'd be ecstatic. Our offense will have to show they can do it two weeks in a row since they hadnt played that well in a few weeks.

Gators have one of the best defenses in the country. If Cajuns score 35, that would be an amazing accomplishment.

[MiamiCajun32]

I agree with this. It should help that Florida isnt a spread passing attack. We need to show we can do something on National TV. 0-3 so far this year.

Over here in Miami the Cajuns ULM game was on CSS. That is a national game in my book, even though a cable tv non premiere station.

I am a UF alum and a big Gators fan but will be secretly pulling for the cajuns this weekend to keep it close (grew up in Louisiana and some of those years in Lafayette, so always been a Cajuns fan). Would have been much better for Cajuns if they played UF in first game of season rather than now. I think it will be a blow out, but cajuns are more talented and at least as good as Bowling Green. Also, consider that Tennessee struggled to beat Troy and UL Monroe beat Arkansas. Cajuns easily beat both of those teams on the road. UF struggling against Bowling Green, Vanderbilt and Missouri gives Cajuns hope if UF plays that way this weekend. But realistically, if UF opens up the offense Gators likely will score over 40 pretty easily (despite their struggles in SEC). Gators D if it comes to play will likely keep Cajuns offense from scoring more than 10, unless in garbage time.

CSS is a regional sports network like CST is here. CSS is only available in the SE, as far as I know.

That game was not even close to a national broadcast.

Thanks for the info. I have had that channel for a while and always just assumed erroneously it was a national channel (albeit a low tier channel). In any event, I was happy to have the game on :-)

Just promise this... if we're up by 10 with 4 seconds left... with the ball on our 10 yard line... and you leave your punt block team in... and they blitz us... if we throw the ball to an open receiver and he takes it the distance... we DO NOT want to see some emotionally twisted article the next day from a female Gator beat writer that goes by a name of a domestic cat. Ok?
