2007 Football preview and offseason fan talk

[CajunGuru]

_ Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out after the "whole" team comes in this summer. I know one player (young as he may be) that is going to give it his all. The kid wants to play-badly. He does however realize that the competition will be great and that there are some very talented older(more experienced)players ahead of him. Time will tell. I can hardley wait!!!!! _

You need to pick up the Louisiana Football Magazine, Publisher Lee Brecheen had a really good quote on Brad McGuire. He had Brad listed under SLEEPERS OF THE CLASS.

Chris Masson (6-1, 170) from Miami and Brad McGuire (6-2, 195) from Gulf Breeze, both are Mobile and have live arms. I love McGuire's ability; two years from now you'll see he was a big time steal.

I remember reading about Brad. I was very pleased Bustle managed to sign him. As I recall, very good passer, very mobile, high completion %. I especially like the high completion %. That makes me think he doesn't throw into trouble, gets the ball where a receiver can catch it, has a feel for the short to mid routes, obviously has touch (exactly what we need). As for Lee Brecheen, he is extremely good at assessing high school talent as it applies to the college game. It also sounds like Brad has the heart and desire for the game. Cool. Best of luck to him in his development as a UL student-athlete.

_ We are looking forward to getting him into camp! Is your boy out of school yet? I believe high school graduations start next weekend in Lafayette.

Z. _

He graduates on May 16th. Then we have to pack him up to be at UL on the 31st to start the summer sessions June 4th and start working with the coaches and teammates. Looking forward to it.

No Sun Belt team is more due and more ready to finally break out and go bowling than UL Lafayette. Agonizingly close over the last two years to being in the bowl mix, ULL went 6-5 in 2005 with a dominant second half of the year winning the final five games, and then had a winning 2006 season and a post-season spot all but secured before getting blasted 39-20 by rival UL Monroe. Now there’s no excuse not to do even more and crank out one of the team’s best seasons ever. Team Information Head coach: Rickey Bustle 5th year: 23-35 Returning Lettermen: Off. 22, Def. 19, ST 2 Lettermen Lost: 16 Ten Best Players 1. RB Tyrell Fenroy, Jr. 2. QB Michael Desormeaux, Jr. 3.

WR Derrick Smith, Jr. 2007 Schedule Sept. 1 at South Carolina Sept. 8 Ohio Sept. 15 McNeese State Sept. 22 Troy Sept. 29 at UCF Oct. 6 North Texas Oct. 13 at Arkansas State Oct. 20 Florida Atlantic Nov. 3 at Tennessee Nov. 10 at Middle Tenn. Nov. 17 at FIU Nov. 24 UL Monroe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s not too tough to set the bar high at a place that’s only won more than seven games twice since 1973 and has never gone to a bowl. With most of the key starters returning on both sides of the ball including all the stars in the Sun Belt’s best rushing attack, the Ragin’ Cajuns will be among the favorites. Michael Desormeaux is one of the league’s best all-around playmakers able to run as well as any back and potentially good enough to make a few plays here and there with his arm. While he’s not going to light up the passing charts, if he can be a little more efficient, and junior Tyrell Fenroy builds off his 1,193-yard, ten touchdown season, the offense should be dangerous. Now it has to be consistent. The rest of the story Pete Fiutak CollegeFootballNews.com

"Wins over Garnder-Webb and Louisiana are almost certain, while Wyoming has to come to Athens."

That's what Eastern Michigan and Houston thought too.

Ingnorance is bliss.

Ok folks enough of these le blues de temps d'été. We all have a football season to prepare for and only a little under nine weeks to prepare for it.

1: Stock up on portable grilling supplies.
2: Start gathering up beer, and soft drinks.
3: Make sure your Cajun Tailgating gear is cleaned polished and in shape.
4: Knock of those extra pounds accumulated over 9 months of following the Cajuns all over the country.
5: Review last years media guide, spring game articles, and recruiting evaluations, we have to be ready to know who is who on the football field.

Thats what im talkin about.....im very anxious about this season...this can be a special year if the guys perform to their expectations

[Big Buds]

The next nine weeks might just be the longest nine weeks of the year. Every summer around this time I get the jitters for football to start, my god I can smell it.

[shasta]

mmm i cant wait till coronas and ribeyes while tailgating, i consume more of each of those during football season than mexican cattle ranchers do all year

I sure would like to see this thread (or a countdown version) stay at the top of the thread stack.

That South Carolina game cannot come soon enough for me. Geaux Cajuns!!!
