Predict 2007 FB Regular Season Record

Hint = Carolina (NFL) in my mind.

First name rhymes with snake.

Last name rhymes with telephone (sort of)

BTW, I can't wait to see your boy suit up for the Cajuns. His video at the recruiting bash was very impressive.

On another note, I don't think that the rap on Desormeaux (that he's a weak passer) is very fair. Of course, I'm bias because I'm a New Iberia native.

I agree mike can throw the ball plenty good enough. I think he will actually throw the deep ball better than jerry. And since he is left handed the ball has a different spin on it, once the receivers can get used to that I don't think we will see as many drops. With the speed an athleticism we have we don't have to air it out just be able to move the chains on 3rd down. If mike is qb1 Anderson will design the offense to fit his strengths both running and passing. We may even see a 2 qb system. Worked for Florida why not the Cajuns

I would think if our game is a running quarterback we will need at least a two quarterback system. There is a reason quarterbacks are discouraged from running too much. At Florida they were a pass oriented team who also had a quarterback who could run. To keep teams honest you have to be able to throw on any down, and the down you want to throw on would be the best one to throw on, not the one you are forced to throw on.

Void of the fact that we hired a new OC and WR coach....could you please explain why you feel that our WR's will be better "than the last two years?"

Well after Stamps graduated, Sampy did okay. But our passing game struggled two years ago. Remember our fantastic ground game? Last year our receivers played much better than they did the previous year, but still had a lot of inconsistency. I feel that the guys we've brought in over the last 3 years are ready to step up and play some ball (in addition to the new coaches) I think we've moved more towards possession recievers (which is a good thing for our intermediate passing attack) and away from pure speed guys where there is a 50\50 shot they will catch it. I just think that we will generally have a more fundamentally sound group of receivers this year which will produce better numbers. That's all.

Very plausible explanation Kal... Thanks! I'm kinda hoping that one of our true freshmen will stand up and claim a position as a starter...He has the intelligence, size, speed, athleticism....and most importantly...the HEART! Loved watching him play football and basketball in HS...I'm really excited about this STM addition...I truly believe that that this young man will pan out to be one of the best players ever to don a Cajun Uniform!

Rockytop.....Poppycock (closest I could get to rhyming appropriately)...

Its 5 months before kick-off.. I picked 12-0 baby...........

LSUA&M petitions the legislature to force us back to using USL as we are getting more national attention than they are as they struggle through a 5-7 campaign....

I'm thinking Miami in January for the darlings of College Football...

Comeon people... reality check in August...... Dream BIG in March...lol

You're hard to argue against.

Love the enthusiasm! But I have a hard time letting reality totally fly out of the window. I expect (hope) that we finish somewhere between 7-5 and 9-3, depending on how things match up, injuries, etc. I voted for 7-5 just because of some of the uncertainties (new QB, major change in coaches, last season's slide, etc.). That tempers some of my optimism. I do have faith that Coach Bustle and his staff will eventually get us to a higher level and, in fact, have already moved us into a "program" status. That is, we are not just throwing a team together each year and hoping for the best. There is a system in place.

So I am brain dead. Jake D has had a great career. Never stop dreaming the dream.....

Just out of curiosity who were the other QBs besides Sanborn and Jake?

Sorry for not seeing your question, but even sorrier that I cannot remember their names. Cajun4ever played that year, so he certainly should know. It pretty much became all Jake from that game forward.
