I seriously don't like the fact that Tulane or La Tech won't play home and home with us...

What the hell are their problems?

They are "above" us. They are "better" than us. And our fans show up well.

This all equates to if they lose to us, which is very possible given how well we travel in-state, it would look really bad for their program.

I'd say getting blown out by Army on homecoming looks worse... but hey, that's just me.

scarcasm ? (grins)

Sarcasm? Moi??!?

[CajunFun]

First time I've seen "amazing" in a sentence talking about Tayk fans.

Or "pretty."

[CajunFun]

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??

[snote]

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.

[Just1More]

_ Elite too. You forgot elite. _

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

Goat ache!

[RaginFan2]

_ Elite too. You forgot elite. _

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.
