With the start of preseason football camp less than three weeks away, honors continue to come in for the Ragin' Cajuns football team as Louisiana has been tabbed as the co-favorites of the Sun Belt Conference this year in a poll of the league's eight head coaches.

My predictions: UL will be number 1 in SBC year end. Broadway will be best QB and POY SBC. The year end conference team will have more Cajuns. Take the Cajuns on the preseason list and add: Harris, Hamilton, at least one of the Quave brothers and one of the TE (Maxwell or Thompson).

Once again, this conference has vastly underrated Broadway.

Here's hoping he proves em all wrong!

The Advocate actually called us "Louisiana" in their story:

Probably took the story straight off of SID release, and I wonder how long it will be till BR complains.

Dude seriously, I like broadway too and he is great, but browning is a semior and thr returning sbv poy. Everyone would be shocked if he were not the preseason poy.

So the Hoax has more players on the all conference team, the offensive player of the year in Browning. UL had four first place votes, and the Hoax 2.

As was stated on the Hoax board, Berry is viewed as Hud's b itch!

Are you serious. Browning had a meltdown in the bowl game he participated, and Broadway sprouted wings, just like Gauthier the year before.

In every aspect Broadway is the superior quarterback, except for possibly one. That one being the Hoax quarterback is totally unpredictable. Broadway is the better passer, better runner, better decision maker, higher IQ, higher football IQ.

If both go uninjured it will be interesting to see how it all wraps up.

Now Dave if both were juniors who do you think these coaches would take to lead their teams? IMO the coaches did give the Hoax the nod because it will be his last season, but would take TB over the Hoax.

Broadway is very good. Browning is very good. I would love to have either one. Wouldn't trade Broadway. But, completely understand why Browning is POY.

Preseason awards don't mean jack ____e, except to the people that feel snubbed about being left off. I'm glad broadway got left off.

One game does not make a season, Broadway did not start the entire season and it makes sense why he did not get SBC Off POY. PreSeason wise, I believe the nod has to go to Browning, because of his body of work. Do I think Broadway is better and will be better in the long term, yes. Do I think that Browning deserves the nod right now for PreSeason POY, yes. I think at the end of the season, Broadway and Browning will be battling it out for Off POY and it will depend on how their respective teams finish and injuries. If I were starting a team right now and both were available, I would not complain on having to take either of the two. it is a no loss situation. As Jay Walker has said, Browning reminds us alot of Dez, but with a better arm. Both are special, but body of work gives the nod to Browning as "PRESEASON POY", I do believe that may change at years end.

How does the best offense in the SBC get one player selected (at center)? Interestingly we had one of the worst defenses (statistically speaking from last year) and have two selections. I think this will add motivation to the late summer workouts and two-a-days.
