After not going to a ULL game in probably 20 years, my son and I went last night. No, I am not a band wagon jumper or a fair weather fan. We had been talking about catching a game and finally decided to go. Cajuns being 2-0 in conference play and hearing all the hype around Fenroy was a motivating factor. I too was surprised that only 26,000 folks showed up. In fact at 3:30 that afternoon, I went online to ticketmaster and was shocked to find out that I could get two tickets in section D1 on the first row. Generally, I like to sit higher in the stands and in fact, after half time, we stood along the railing on the concourse. And yes, we left after the last interception and missed the very best part of the game. Shame on us. I watch a lot of football and have one thing to say about the Cajun's offense. It is boring. There, I said it! Other than the reverse half back pass, (and the defensive coach screaming curse words at the o-line and then punching the white board, cutting is hand) I could have really gone to sleep watching this game. Of course with Desormeaux being out, that may have watered down their offense but geez, how about a little more play action or a few more sweeps? How in the heck Fenroy has tallied up so many yards in beyond me. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying their offense does not work or is incapable of moving the ball. It is just boring to watch, well at least last nights game was. I also missed the last seven minutes of the game which ended up being the very exciting part.
But they pulled off a victory when I had written this game off as a loss. Congrats to the entire team and staff. They hung in their and pulled off another win. I will catch another game when Desormeaux is back. one a side note, can somebody explain to me how the concessions managed to run out of hamburgers at the very beginning of half time? My son ate one earlier and said it was actually pretty good. Then the guy next to me shows up and sits down with mayo and Jack Miller’s sauce dripping from one. That was the point that I decided that I HAD to have one. Yes I was disappointed when I was told they were out! Next time, I will go before half time.
I also missed how nice Cajun Field really is. Easy to get to concessions and pretty comfortable chairs in section D1. There is much more of a family atmosphere than being at Tiger Stadium where it is difficult finding a seat and getting to concessions. Then again, the lack of 95,000 fans fighting their way around makes a difference. Watching the kids roll down the end zone hills and all the fans sitting on the ground was fun. A lot less stressful than a packed LSU game plus Judice Inn is right down the road which is where we were sitting listening to the end of the game. Yes, I was able to eat a great hamburger after all.
We might even go back and catch the homecoming game.
