last opponent was supposed to be La Tech at home, if it is another big gate, and a chance to avenge 2004's close loss in Joe Aillet stadium.

that was until they signed Ms stAte at home. Kent St was suppose to be a done deal, and we were working in UTEP...

Now it seems to be in disarray. Either way, I will be there.

actually i like our chances againts kstate and illinois. kstate is not as good as they have been in the past and desormeaux will show juice williams how to run the zone read offense!

The other home game is against Kent state.

K-State was good enough to beat the crap out of UT, in Austin, in '07. You're right that they haven't been as good in recent years, but I think that '08 might be their 3rd year with their new coach, so if his system is starting to work, they might be coming around. they were 5-7 overall and 3-5 in the Big XII in '07.

If UL's defense is improved next season, then I would say I like our chances against any of those teams. But, if not, then we might see a lot of the same. I know we have some nice JUCO recruits coming in next year, but they haven't done it on this level yet, and being that K-state is our first game, it might be a tough one. Again, that being said, it will be their first game also.

I know we have some nice JUCO recruits coming in next year.

I keep hearing about JUCO recruits but have only seen 2 committments so far, a DB and DT. The DT is apparently a 4 star. What others are we talking about as I haven't seen any other names mentioned ? We are in desparate need of Defensive Linemen. What DLs do we have coming back this year? What kind of depth will we have on the D line?

So UTEP is a done deal, Jay?

Kent State
UTEP
3 Sunbelt teams(Ark St., MT, FIU?)

that'll work.

We need to have 12 DB's on the field against Kansas State. This year they threw the ball over 40 times per game. The good news is their QB threw 18 TD's to 11 INT's. However he will be a Junior next year and will show some improvement. Other good news is that they lose Jordy Nelson, their leading receiever in most statistical categories. They also lose their leading rusher but the guy next in line is very capable of handling the load.

Oh well, the men's basketball team is 4-0 in conference and it's almost baseball season. Why in the world am I looking at this stuff. Oh yeah, I'm bored at work. GEAUX CAJUNS
