Thread: The Story of the MudBugs Football Team in Lafayette Louisiana

  1. Default Mudbugs Coach John Fourcarde and Houma owner Thomas fined


      Southern Indoor Football League Commissioner Dan J. Blum announced Wednesday that he has fined Acadiana Mudbugs coach John Fourcade an undisclosed amount and issued an official reprimand for publicly criticizing game officials.

    Fourcade's comments appeared in Tuesday's Daily Advertiser following the Mudbugs' 50-40 loss to the Austin Turfcats.

    "I am completely confident there will not be a repeat occurrence," Blum said. "The SIFL now considers this issue closed."

    Southern Indoor Football League President Thom Hager said the league assumed ownership of the Conquerors at midnight Tuesday.

    The takeover from Slidell-based Conquest Sports, run by Franklin Thomas and wife Lenora Thomas, came after the organization failed to pay team debts before Tuesday’s midnight deadline, Hager said.

  4. Default Conquerors vs Mudbugs meet in Houma


      HOUMA — Amid an ownership change this week and uncertainty about the fate of their season, the Houma Conquerors will end their inaugural regular season with a game tonight in Houma against the Acadiana Mudbugs, the Southern Indoor Football League announced after a conference call on Friday.

    The SIFL secured ownership of the franchise as of midnight Tuesday, when then-owner Franklin Thomas did not successfully get the team out of default status by paying bills the team owes, including league dues, membership fees and player salaries.

    SIFL President Thom Hager said the decision was made to keep the game at 7 tonight at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center for the sake of the Conquerors’ loyal fans.

    “There was lots of wisdom shared among the ownership group on the conference call,” Hager said. “We realized the very best thing we could do was have the game played in Houma. It wouldn’t have been good for the fans otherwise.”

  5. Default Conquerors defeat Mudbugs


      HOUMA — It’s been an unlikely week for the Houma Conquerors. With their team taken over by the Southern Indoor Football League, at one point it was unlikely Saturday’s game would even take place.

    So it seems fitting that in an unlikely victory over the Acadiana Mudbugs, the game would be saved by an unlikely hero, kicker Mike Stropolo, who was 0-4 on field goals, and missed an extra point to boot.

    And even more unlikely, with Austin’s 60-28 win over Texas, the Conquerors, at 3-8, are in the SIFL playoffs.

    "Chandler Roberson had three rushing touchdowns."

    The Mudbugs should learn their players names. When he played at UL he was Chancellor Roberson. I really don't think he changed his name.


  12. Default SIFL Looking to a Bright Future


     

    On July 27, the Southern Indoor Football League concluded their first season in existence with the Louisiana Swashbucklers winning their third championship in a row as a franchise.

    After a trying season as SIFL president, Thom Hager discussed what challenges the league faced and the new things coming in 2010.

    “The first observation I have is that it was a rougher, tougher, more intense season that I thought it was going to be,” Hager said on the inaugural season of the SIFL. “It was more difficult to launch a league by myself than I thought it was going to be.”

    Default No More Mudbugs

    I remember hearing last week that the Mudbugs have fortunately dropped that name. Now known as the Wildcatters.


  14. Default WildCatters


      The Lafayette Wildcatters have signed John Fourcade to become their 2010 season head coach and general manager.

    Fourcade started his football career by playing at Ole Miss from 1978-1981, breaking many school records and breaking Archie Manning’s career record in yards. He joined the New Orleans Saints in 1987 as quarterback, leading the Saints to their first postseason berth.

    Fourcade has 13 years of coaching experience with various teams in the Arena Football League.

    “I’m excited to be a part of the Wildcatters,” said Fourcade. “I cannot wait to start the season and to bring a championship to Lafayette. The new ownership is dedicated and wants to bring a winning team to this town. I’m looking forward to getting involved with local high schools, elementary schools and charitable groups throughout Lafayette and Acadiana. We are not just an indoor football team; we are Lafayette’s Indoor Football Team.”
