Cajuns get some love from Sports Illustrated

[CAJUN_LXA685]

"Robichaux goes on to describe how his team breaks the huddle after he asks: "What have we earned the right to do?"

The shouted response: "MORE!"

I love that!!

Normally 'knowing ones place' means glass ceiling limitations accepted.

Have not followed SI for years. SI relegated itself to the fashion magazine dump heap along time ago. Very biased and narrow focused rag dedicated to the generation of advertising dollars vs. real nationwide sports reporting. Take it for what it is worth.

Isn't that pretty much every magazine now. Dying industry. I used to love Popular Science but it's probably 75% advertisements now so I unsubcribed and go online. Which sucks because I am a paper person.

It's an Associated Press article. I've seen it showcased on multiple news outlets. Like Fox News for example, as well as NCAA.com

Can anyone post a direct link to the original article? The way the Advertiser describes it is that UL understands that while they aren't considered baseball elite by the fans of the elite (IE LSU) they aren't about to accept that as their place. In other words, we have something to prove & we're not gonna stop until we've proved it. Pretty much warning the baseball demigogs that if they think UL is gonna show up at Omaha like a kid on their first trip to Disney World then they better get ready for the @$$ whipping they are about to receive at the hands of the Cajuns. But it doens't matter whether they believe it or not right now. This team will make them believers, or give them confirmation that they should have believed.

Thanks. First of all this is great. This was an AP article. Secondly, I can't beleive this. I can't believe this. There is no freaking way I thought this team could be painted as Cinderella. Yet that is what is going on. Tony isn't even having to do the work. The national media is still going to paint this team as Cinderella no matter what. Let em have at it. In the end does it really matter? As long as you win it all & show you have the championship metal & the balls. Does it matter that they try to paint you Cinderella? As long as they don't conspire to turn your carriage into a pumpkin it's all good. Let us embrace Cinderella all the way to not one, but two national titles. But Cinderella must have been one bad @$$ _____ after all.

I believe any "smaller" school (minus Rice and CSF) doing as well as we are would get labeled as a Cinderella by the media. I have no problem with the term.

I do get a annoyed when our softball program gets labeled as Cinderalla though as they are basically the Cal State Fullerton of softball.

"Know our place." Put that on the f'n bulletin board! The past success of other programs don't mean ____ today! Hell today don't mean ____ today! That ____es me off!
