_ I knew it! I believe 90% of the NFL HOF can trace ancestry back to Verm Parish in some form or fashion. _

You mean to tell me that 10% of HOF members are not Earthlings?!

_ With FIU,UTEP,FAU,Troy,and MTSU left on the schedule. It would be nice to see us 6-6 but I had us going 8-4 some people said I smoking that stuff. on www.espn.com Mark Schlabach has us playing UConn in the St. Petersburg Bowl. Enjoy the bye week get ready for homecoming against FIU the 1000th game. _

Sorry guys, but at this point, the way THIS TEAM is playing, anything LESS than 7 wins must be considered UNACCEPTABLE!! Every single game left on this schedule is winnable. The CAJUNS absolutlely should finish 5-0 at home and I easily see them winning at least 1 more road game.

_ We may need some help from ASU, hopefull they can beat either FAU or Troy. _

FAU is the least of our worries they have lost 2 conference games already

A buddy and I are going to the game, but now we are trying to see which is the best way to get there. I doubt there will be a busbut maybe?

Who cares, lets get the wins we need to get to NOLAthen we can get hammered and motorboat at scores. haha

[NOCajun]

A buddy of mine and I are hoping there's a bus for that game as well!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEESE???

[Boomer]

I love to look ahead and it tells a lot on whether to keep a coach or not---how many can we sign this year and what do we need----why does ULM, Tech, Tulane , and others have the commits and we have none????--we lose some of the most talented kids ever to play at UL-----Cherry, Smith, Fenroy, Des, and some line guys---Do we JUCO????

It would be great if he was a future HOF'er. Then his jersey would skyrocket in value. Not a bad investment ($25 on ebay).

 A healthy crowd welcomed UL's football team home on Saturday night for its second home game of the season.

The Ragin' Cajuns rallied from a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 28-23 win over Arkansas State before 23,684 at Cajun Field.

It was the program's largest home crowd since 33,828 fans saw UL's 38-17 loss to McNeese State on Sept. 15, 2007.

"The fans were awesome," UL coach Rickey Bustle said. "And we appreciate it so much."

  The celebration started for UL as soon as Arkansas State's last-second Hail Mary pass fell harmlessly to the turf in the end zone with no time remaining.

Within seconds, injured quarterback Mike Desormeaux showed as much excitement as one could with a sprained right knee. He soon found redshirt freshman Brad McGuire, who led the Ragin' Cajuns on two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to rally for Saturday's 28-23 win at Cajun Field.

The fallen leader and his replacement hugged at midfield. They thanked each other for their support. McGuire wept.

"I'm so overjoyed," Desormeaux said, almost yelling in excitement. "I was a little disappointed (I couldn't play) before the game started.

"But I'm fine now."

Now his team is, too.
