Cajuns get some love from Sports Illustrated

Cinderella has always always always meant a team who sneaks in to the tournament and make a run.

The connotation is "undeserving/fortunate.

Cinderella has never ever ever been applied to a national seed.

Like many others, I felt that was how the word was used. Now I'm changing my mind, at least whenever applied to the Cajuns. I'm taking it back to the literary meaning. Oppressed and forbiddened but doing it despite the overlords. F the NCAA and all the evil stepsisters.

It's true. You're right. But don't you guys see the beauty in this. Everyone is beginning to realize where this school is nationally in both of the spring sports. So now the jealousy starts to develop. How do those who can't overcome rationalize? They either associate the team they know has champion written on their breastplate with characterizations that attempt to marginalize their accomplishments, or they make excuses & lodge baseless accusations. The best part of it all is while doing this they justify their own worthiness by how they almost competed with you in some of their contests against you. Just imagine the ULM coach is justifying his team's whole season by how they "hung" with UL in two of three of their contests. This is the price of greatness. To suffer the unreasonable accusations, anger, excuses, and comparrisons of others who could not accomplish what you accomplished is true greatness defined. This is even further proof that all of UL's competitors realize how great they are. This my friends is how respect is poorly defined by one's adversaries.

To do that article right, considering they mentioned the SEC, they should have said we beat Alabama 2oo3 and LSU (rain shortened) in our only opportunities to play the SEC. And we crushed the SBC. And yes... everyone has to qualify their regular season ranking in postseason. We are no different. Bring it on!
