The Book 2008 Football

  Depending on when running back Undrea Sails becomes eligible, UL might see some shuffling on the depth chart behind starter Tyrell Fenroy.

The Cajuns are still waiting for Sails' final course from College of the Desert to be processed.

The junior from Alabama arrived on campus during the first week of preseason camp.

"I think we're close," said UL coach Rickey Bustle, whose Cajuns play at 2:35 p.m. Saturday at Kansas State. "We were hoping to maybe get it done today, but it didn't get done."

 UL defensive coordinator Kevin Fouquier got a phone call the other day from Mark Smith, the defensive coordinator at Ball State.

Smith had just watched film of last week's 44-27 win for the Ragin' Cajuns over Kent State, which opens Mid-American Conference play on Saturday against Ball State.

It was then that Fouquier received the biggest compliment he's heard all season about his defense.

I sure hope Sails becomes eligible soon. I love Tyrell and I think Walker is going to be a stud, but with the loss of Wallace from last year and it seems Shankle is in and out of the lineup with injuries we are lacking at backup RB. I would rather not take the redshirt tag off of Walker and save him for next year, but I think there is huge hole behind Fenroy.

Sails and Shankle can be successfull behind him, but one is still waiting for the NCAA clearinghouse and the other can't stay on the field long enough.

We need to spell Fenroy periodically, that what was so nice about Wallace last year. There is just a huge dropoff right now down to Matt Dupre, I think the coaches would perfer to keep the redshirts on Walker and Booker and Roberts.

I made it a point to stay after the game and sing the alma mater while they played it. Had a friend next to me look at me strange cuz I actually knew the words.

And you can make Louisiana work in place of Southwestern. Phonetically, I say "Lwee-zee-anna". The "Lwee" is one syllable and the "l" is VERY briefly pronounced with the "wee" getting the biggest chunk of that one syllable.

I too enjoy it very much, the alma mater being played. I've always been an advocate of when we play the fight song at the end of the basketball games, putting the words up on the video screen, same with the alma mater at the football games.

God Bless

GEAUX UL RAGIN CAJUNS FOOTBALL!!!

p.s.- nice little "name" tidbit.... Stevie P said on his show this morning that the K-State press release has our name listed as "University of Louisiana (formerly known as University of Louisiana at Lafayette)"

Did we really just rack up over 660 yards of offense and NOT get the offensive player of the week? Hmmmm.........

[Turbine]

A travesty

Desormeaux (UL QB)           Leonard (ASU QB)



Rushed for  150                  Rushed for 74

Passed for   253                 Passed for 292

Total yards  403                 total Yards 366 

[RaginDave]

Corey Leonard 2 Passing TD's

Michael Desormaux 1 Passing TD, 1 Rushing TD.

With all things being equal, at worst Dez should have beaten out Leonard, but the real travesty here is Fenroy not getting it.

194 Yards Rushing
68 Yards Recieving
3 TD's Scored

My choice for POW:
1a. Tyrell Fenroy
1b. Michael Desormeaux
3. Corey Leonard
