Cajuns check in, practice today

[NewsCopy]

  UL — Clerical matters, team meetings and physical examinations made Wednesday’s reporting day a matter of monotony and routine, said University of Louisiana at Lafayette football coach Rickey Bustle.

Bustle said there were no surprises other than 6-foot-8 freshman redshirt offensive lineman Jaron Odom, who arrived sporting a shorter haircut.

“There were no surprises other than (Odom), and that was a good surprise,” Bustle said. “Everyone, all 105 of (the players) showed up. The players got here at 2 p.m., we put them on buses and rode them over to campus, where they got on computers and started filling out (NCAA) compliance questionnaires.”

Beginning at 3:30 p.m. today, the Cajuns start practice for this season. ULL doesn’t put on full pads until Aug. 11. The first scrimmage is scheduled for at 9 a.m. Aug. 15 .

Turb do we really need anything from good old Bobbie "Mr Ooo-elele" Ardoin?

Seriously, I am marveling at the coverage we are getting via T and Scout.com, Josh Parrott and the Advertiser and the current UL SID. Not to mention what KPEL and the Lafayette TV stations have been providing all along. How long ago was it that so many complained about the lack of coverage - especially by the Advertiser - and look at the situation today! Fantastic!!
