  As UL football players arrive in town today for the start of fall camp, the clock officially begins to tick toward the team’s season opener on Sept. 5 against Southern University at Cajun Field.

The Ragin’ Cajuns will hold their first practice this season under eighth-year head coach Rickey Bustle on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. with plenty of questions about this squad still unanswered. Fall camp, which will include scrimmages on Aug. 15 and 22, ends on Aug. 26.

Before UL takes the practice field, let’s take a look at five storylines to follow during fall camp:

I'm sure glad college football is right around the corner. I thought I was going to go more nuts than I already am. Life just goes better with college football.

No kidding, I'm literally counting down the days. It's unbelievable how slowly this time of the year drags for me and so many others.

Do like me....watch a replay of the 3rd game of the CWS bout once a week. I'm not having any problems with this time of year at all!

So, what do you think. Short of 10 wins will Miles get run off?

As an alumnus and staunch supporter, I think anything more than 4 losses is unacceptable with their scedule. Florida at home will home will be very tough and it doesn't get much easier on the road as they play Alabama, Ole Miss and Georgia. As of right now, LSU is scheduled to play 3 teams in the top 10 and 4 teams in the top 15 of the Pre-season Coaches Poll. If I were a betting man, I'd say 9-3 for this team with the possibility of 10-2 if Chavis can shore up the defense and Jefferson progresses at quarterback and possibly 8-4 if one of these doesn't happen. Although Miles obviously made a mistake in hiring the co-defensive coordinators, at least he wasn't too stubborn like Dinardo and was willing to make the neccessary changes.

We have come a long way from the Curley days and it's pretty neat to have such hi expectations of your program that others think less than 10 wins will not be tolerated, but I think he might be able to hang around a tad longer even without 10 wins. In his tour of duty he has averaged 10 wins a season and a bowl win each year....that tends to give one a longer rope...so to say.

I didn't see your vote in the final record thread....waiting closer to the start of the season to cast your vote?

Cajuns to go 12-0 with a 42-0 paddling of LState at El Casa Gatos. Be there to witness history in the making.
