  Charlie Mahfouz, named the new Cajun track coach in June, recently announced his signees for the upcoming season, including 11 local athletes.

Six are throwers - Donny Broussard (Lafayette), Chris Comeaux (Opelousas), Phil Leger (South La Fourche), Sabrina George (Teurlings Catholic), Kirsten Meche (Iota) and Claire Walley (Teurlings Catholic).

The Cajuns added four distance runners in Jacob Delahoussaye (Lafayette), Jaron Ortego (Walker), Stuart Theriot (South Terrebone) and Torri Choate (Kaplan) and two sprinters from Texas in Kelvan Turner (Dallas Skyline) and Breshard Woodard (Freeport Brazoswood).

Neal Hebert (Beau Chene) and Rachel Brossard (Westminster) both compete in the pole vault. April Colomb (Carencro) does hurdles. Sara Milam (Westminster) is a sprinter and hurdler.

"We feel that this recruiting class will be the foundation of rebuilding the championship tradition athletically and academically here," Mahfouz said.

For all of you whiners, who think you know more than the coaches, and who think we should fire coaches and administrators every time we lose a game, note his comments well.

And then remember, he's actually accomplished something in athletics.

Great article. Loved his energy and passion. Your comments are not as inspiring.

Great article. Loved his energy and passion. Your comments are not as inspiring.

You, on the other hand, are an exemplar of everything we hope that our student athletes accomplish in their careers at UL, and in their lives: optimism, teamwork, courage in the face of adversity, and a "never-say-die" outlook.

I know that when I'm feeling down about UL, all I need do is read MetryCajun's comments, and my faith in my University will be restored.

You are the finest example of a fan that a person could hope for.

You and RCajun90, that is.

MetryCajuns' Predictions:

Illinois 56
UL 20

[MetryCajun]

LOL.
That prediction was not too good. For that matter neither was my 31-21 USM prediction. In fairness to me I did predict the correct winner in both games! I'll have you note I am predicting a UL win this week.

Fun, there is nothing wrong with me predicting a win or a loss. It has ZERO impact on the game or the stature of the university. Even if I spent the next two weeks bashing the Cajuns the only person that would suffer would be me.
For the record since the Stokley years I have overestimated the number of wins in football every year except 2005. In Lee's first year I thought they could get to the Sweet 16. I was positive we would take 1 of 2 from TAMU in baseball. In my book that puts me as an optimist. Sorry if I come across as negative sometimes, but I am tired of seeing us lose and then hear people like you say it is OK.

[MetryCajun]

I reread the prediction thread.
Looks like we have a lot of bad fans on this board.
Even NOCAJUN predicted an Illinois blowout.
