2007 Football preview and offseason fan talk

Does anyone know why they moved flemming to LB? i thought he played safety in highschool?

[ULGrad@HOU]

I'm not 100% about this, but it seems by the article that Grant was in on the "dime" package and that means an extra DB, and he was able to get the interception. I believe earlier this fall, they mentioned Flemming as working in the safety slot. I also wouldn't be suprised to see him at a LB position from the way he is talked about by the coaches.

He is listed as a LB on the roster (or at least he was listed that way as of Fan Day). He was a safety at STM but many times in running situations he seemed to cheat up into a LB position.

I just saw that South Carolina is favored to beat the Cajuns by 29. Do y'all think that is pretty accurate or will it be closer (or worst!)?

[JBrink52HITSTICK]

I think that's about right

[RaginFan2]

I think that's about right

Yeah probably so. We don't stand a chance against Spurrier's mighty banty roosters!

The spread of this game will be directly related to the run/pass ratio of the Cajuns.

The more we attempt to pass the ball, the more we will lose by.

It seems like a predictable, disrespectable spread. We will be trying to run the ball down opponent's throats this year, with a mix of "we caught you napping for the run" passing. If done effectively, I think it will work very well. It all has to do with our play calling mix and the team's ability to execute.

The new attacking style defense and the hurry up no huddle offense will be interesting against SC. I like these styles regardless of the first game outcome.

My attitude about the line is... play to win and screw the line.

[DestinCajun]

I told him not to worry about this year, because Cowboy fans would take care of the average for them. Now next year, with your typical 4-6, 5-5 season, . . .

Memo to 1AA fan:

1A plays 12 games, not 10 or 11 or however many 1aa is allowed.

Still receiving reports from the UL fans that visited the McNeese scrimmage. Once they are all received and the information is forwarded to coach Bustle, I will reprint the scouting report for all to see...

Z.

PS

I heard from a normally very reliable source that during the Cowpie scrimmage someone pointed to the sky and there was a cloud they swore looked exactly like Ronald Regan when he starred in the movie, "The Gipper". Freaky stuff, man.

Any of ya'll going to the game in Columbia? I will be there. Can't wait!!

Disrespectable or not, it is pretty accurate. Oddsmakers try to be right on.

  UL head football coach Rickey Bustle is looking for consistency, and he can't afford to be patient.

His team is less than two weeks away from a trip to face highly-regarded South Caro-lina in its Sept. 1 season opener, and through two scrimmages his team has shown Jekyll-and-Hyde tendencies.

One week ago, in its first Saturday scrimmage, UL's offense free-wheeled its way to some big numbers.

Two days ago, the Cajun defense controlled the action almost from start to finish.

"We can't come out one week and be good on offense and one week later the defense be good," Bustle said. "We have to have much better execution on both sides."
