The Book 2008 Football

_ One problem, we Cajun fans do not know how to act in the 4th quarter when the game game is already won.. everyone looked kind of confused. _

Yea, most of them started to leave to "beat the traffic." These fans need to learn to stay until the very end.

We have a bunch of fans that are similar to Dodger fans....show up late, leave early.

I can't understand the leave early concept even when losing but to leave when we are winning baffles me, especially as much as we have been clamoring for wins.

YES! We had been playing it after the basketball games! After the team sings the fight song with the student section when they're walking out off the court. I'm glad we did it after the game last night, and I hope we continue doing it. I'll try and talk BT into trying to do it earlier, when there are more people in the stands and when the football team is still on the field. (BTW, that's the only song I looked at the music for. I'll mess up on other things, but I will not mess up on the alma mater!)



Alma mater, beloved old Southwestern,
Pride of our Southland so fair!
Oaks and pines, and sweet magnolia's beauty,
Show for thy charms so rare!
Alma mater, for honor, truth and wisdom,
Thy halls for aye shall stand!
Loyal sons, and daughters sing,
Proclaiming here's my heart and hand!



I get chills when I hear it! I love this University!

I agree the wall looked alot better last night. My only complaint would be, not enough red in the colors. We should see if the advertisers wouldn't mind there banners being red white and black instead of the greens and blues.

Things are coming together. From game management, to the new field, to the clean stadium, to the fired-up fans, this was one of the most enjoyable gametime experiences I've had in Cajun Field in a long time.

Did the new intro video look as sweet in person as it did online?

They need to incorporate more red into the UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA banners on either side behind the benches.

I stayed until the (not so bitter) end. I was disapointed that our tailgate group did not meet up after the game to celebrate the win. I was too excited to go home quietly.

Southwestern should be change to Louisiana.

I'm still very happy about the performance last night. I'm not aggravated about those who chickened out because of the rain, those who just came to tailgate, or those who left early. The win is still on my mind. Our players played hard and they got a dose of victory. That is the most important thing.

When some other folks start showing up from near and far, clad in vermillion, looking for a good time, they are welcome IMO. I hope time takes care of having them come in masses, showing up early, scrambling to get in before kickoff and leaving as late as is allowed. Good times.

Geaux Cajuns!!!
