Not to mention it's the home of moose balls and spaghetti in a red gravy.

You sure that's not spaghetti and red-eye gravy??

I don't want UL to play Tech in a Bowl. They're much too far above us to have to stoop to our level.

Sarcasm? Moi??!?

Mr. R, a serious question -

What's your feeling on LaTech being in the current WAC with the other 8 members all being from 1000 to 4000 miles way?

Elite too. You forgot elite.

Deafening is the silence on your reply from Mr. R (chuckle, grin, snicker)

Goat ache!

That's pronounced ee-light up in Ruston.

  The doubters gave their opinions in the preseason, picking UL's football team to finish sixth this season in the Sun Belt.

In many ways, that's now a distant memory. The Cajuns (5-3 overall, 4-0 Sun Belt) can become bowl-eligible for the third time in four seasons by beating UTEP (3-5, 3-2 Conference USA) in a non-conference game at 6 tonight at Cajun Field.

"We ain't in the shade no more," UL coach Rickey Bustle said for a program coming off a 3-9 season. "I like this 4-0 business. The shade's gone."

Translation: Life is good in Lafayette.

  EL PASO -- November non-conference football games, at least in recent years, have been even rarer than November victories for the UTEP football team.

Games against teams that don't spread out the field and chuck, chuck, chuck the football have been almost as unusual for a Miner squad that sees a heavy dose of Conference USA passing teams late after seeing a heavy dose of non-conference passing teams early.

Against that backdrop comes a Louisiana squad that lines up with a featured tailback, a blocking fullback and a tight end and batters the football down the field like a throwback from the 20th century.

  UL— Bowl eligible hasn’t been a phrase commonly associated with Louisiana at Lafayette recent football seasons. UL has a chance to change that today beginning at 6 p.m. at Cajun Field with a victory over Conference USA member Texas-El Paso.

The Cajuns (5-3) can qualify for postseason play by earning a sixth win for only the 11th time since the school participated in its last bowl game 38 years ago.

UL has reached the sixth victory plateau only four times since 1994, with two of those under current coach Rickey Bustle.

The Cajuns are 5-3 for only the second time since 1995.
Bustle said UL, which has won five of its last six, has the chance for a strong finish.
