Erath's Elijah Mitchell commits to Louisiana

[Bankruptcyman]

Poche may be a big reason why it has been 43 years since an Erath running back has committed to play for U(S)L. :-)

In the last couple of years Ragin' Cajun fans have grown to like running backs named Elijah.

Luckily for them, they get four more years of it after Elijah McGuire leaves this season.

??? Can you elaborate?

Really...that's just sad, but expectable for small market tv sports guy. John Korbel, former katc news director would escort you out of the building if you had that attitude under his watch. The story is the silence and the 2 months (or whatever it is) Tigue rebuild behind schedule. That's the damn story. Somehow 103.7 got access to FOI act info concerning the situation. You can't do the same? And as far as this just being a rant of a few guys on a message board, think of it in these terms. Nielsen Ratings are based on diaries. Lafayette probably gets less than 200 diaries. But those diaries represent thousands of households. Same here...you get 30 or 40 posters who want answers, but you can bet these 30 or 40 represent thousands of fans who have the same questions. So buck up sports guy and earn your check...And before you doubt what I'm saying, I have 30 years of working in TV stations (including one in Lafayette) in large and small markets. I know what I'm talking about and I know enough about how this works to call you and the rest of the media brothers, both print and broadcast out on this. Do your job and stop compromising your objectivity because of relationships built with UL athletics.

My goodness, this is the blast of all blasts!

---Well the Abbeville Meridonal has never been known for their great graphics, but the guys were great with E Mitchell----shot of his running for Erath but the uniform is that of the Ragin Cajuns---Has the logo to the side of the photo with Ragin Cajuns on the helmet and red, black, and white uniform!!!

He couldn't have been crushed for lofty expectations at a young age.
