2008 Cajun Fan Day

[ULtimateCajun]

I enjoyed my fan day experience! Going down on the field, feeling the turf in between my toes (sorry just had to haha). Seeing all of the Fall sports teams excited about the upcoming season. Got my free fan t-shirt and burger. Overall a very good afternoon at my favorite place in Lafayette!

the numers on the shorts correspond to the locker number... for instance, mike is number 6 but his locker number is number 1 so he has number 1 on his shorts.... its for equipment managers... and if you didnt know, UL has the first 50 lockers designated for seniors and starters... thats why they dont get the same locker number as their jersey number.... also they try to keep position groups together.... all the gear is brand new also so i dont know what your talking about when you said old garage sale motif... have you seen the full workout uniform? Red shirt and new grey ragin cajun dri fit shirts... they look pretty good.

Was Derrick Smith there?

yes he was there... the only cajun not present was tackle Nasser Jamal... he had his MRI taken and apparently cant walk yet unfortunately. I saw him on crutches on the field during the pictures and he looked like he was in pain.

Jamal was there, at least for team photos. He was on crutches though.

 UL - — Tyrell Fenroy sat at a table signing autographs at Cajun Field on Sunday evening, writing with a felt-tipped marker almost as quickly as he explodes past opposing defenses.

Fenroy, who this season could become the all-time leading rusher for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, was the main target of those seeking autographs from ULL players on the stadium’s breezy concourse area for the school’s annual Fan Day.

Many of the fans, wearing ULL’s red and white school colors, thrust T-shirts, autograph books, diminutive Ragin’ Cajuns helmets and just about everything else at Fenroy, who occasionally affixed his No. 32 jersey number next to his name.

One of those autograph seekers was Lafayette resident Ted Daigle, who with his four sons, Max, Gabe, Sam and John Thomas, stood in a line about 20 yards long and two deep, waiting for a chance to obtain Fenroy’s signature.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank those that showed up to help for Fan Day. We had a number of folks show up including the usual suspects who helped us get set up early and break down quickly after it was over. I didn't get to see much while working in the batcave but it seems like it was a success again this year. Thanks again.

It sounds like this was an awesome event. The pictures look great. We had to drive back to Wisconsin yesterday(17 long hours) after getting our daughter set up in her dorm over the weekend. I wish we could have stayed for this.Next year we will have to plan an extra day to go to the fan day. What a great way to start the season. Our daughter said it was amazing how many people were there and that she was signing autographs!! She called us right after the event and was very excited to be part of the Ragin Cajuns'! Our thanks to all of you who have made her feel at home. Geaux Cajuns

Thanks!

_ We had a great time, very well put together except for the hamburger line ( I kept having to walk through it). The skydivers exhibition was an incredible idea. I would say that there were around 1750 people show up. Great turn out. Oh, the ONLY negative thing would be that they ran out of posters, Gerald said they would have some @ the Cox center or at the bookstore _

3000+ Brudah. They had 3K posters printed up and they ran out of em.

Great, great turn out. Great atmosphere.

Kudos to UL Bookstore for having a booth put there. Looked like they were making a killing!

Wow that is just outstanding, and the bookstore had some great new gear. If you didn't buy any you need to

Oh no, the numbers on the shorts don't match the numbers on the jerseys. The world is coming to an end!!!!!!
