The hype machine at UL this year seems to be malfunctioning.

Couldn't watch but we have to tighten up the defense. The offense sounds good though.

I'm not judging them based on anything. I'm saying RELATIVELY speaking, we're not as good as the hype suggested. I personally see the same team as last year, with a better Shawn Long.

I am seeing the exact same thing. Shawn Long is considerably better. I think his time with the USA team helped him tremendously.

Probably the older players this summer also got him straightened out mentally what it will take to get the big payday. Looks more attentive so far this season.

I'm excited about Shawn. I've been his biggest critic here. I think he's rounding into the player he can be, and that's why I always gave grief. It frustrated me to no end to see that great of a talent leave so much on the table. I know he reads RP, so let me say; Shawn, you got it brother. Keep grinding. Not that it matters, but as a Cajuns fan, I'm proud of your growth man. Shows what kind of man you are. Keep it up.
