MBB Cajuns (92) v. Cowboys (66)

[Hammer58]

Not a big fan of his show, but I can't catch 1420 in my office. He usually goes with "ragin cajuns" to avoid UL, but he's actually thrown in some UL's more lately. He's an LSU guy, but I think he respects our program. Not defending him or anything, just my observation.

In the second half it did seem that every time he slipped up with a "Lafayette" he immediately repeated or expounded on his statement and used Louisiana so maybe it's just an old habit and he is working on it. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt after hearing the second half. But he needs to work on it if he is going yo continue to do our games, IMO.

I can answer that without hearing or knowing what he said.....YES! He is a homegrown LSU boy, with MASSIVE ties to them and always will!

He played MBB for LSU.

Jordy was chosen for that broadcast role due to his basektball knowledge, not his ties to our school or his name preferences. Name issues aside, how did he do regarding pure basketball on the broadcast.

Jordy is just a sideline guy in basketball. He's no play by play guy. Around BR, he's expected to keep his sunbed or artificial tan, interview coaches and former stars, and make commercials.

So are the Cajuns that much better or are the Cowpukes that much worse?

So are the Cajuns that much better or are the Cowpukes that much worse?

Regarding Elfrid and his comparison to Dwayne, Tiras and Orien, EP was nominated to the John Wooden award watch list, which is the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy for college hoops. I don't necessarily think he is a combination of those three guys, but I think he is defenitely a better player. Absent something crazy happening, he will be our first player drafted since Kevin Brooks. IMO, he is our best player since Michael Allen.

Now, the team with Orien, Brian Hamilton, Tiras, Dwayne, and Cameron would likely beat this team. But, EP and Shwan would give them fits.

I agree with you on the Elfrid comparisons. He is a better blend of all those guys. He was clearly the best player on the court when he wanted to be. The opposing defender could not stop him from getting to the hole and you know that's where he is going because he still needs to work on his shot. However, the team with Wade, Hamilton etc...was, IMO, so much better than this team that they would win going away. They had so much more talent across the board and could score both in transition and in a half court set. I like Payton and Long but I'm not real thrilled about our complimentary players, particularly in the front court.
