Back to the original thread subject... I saw the schedule and decided I wouldn't make this game. Watching both Cajuns and App win on Saturday, I started doing math...Leave New Orleans at ?? leave right after game; be back at ??; drink lots of coffee at work on Thursday. Maybe I will make it.
This is a monster game for our program. Contact family and friends....whoever you know....and try to get them to attend this game.
I can’t contain the excitement!!! Will be a long 9 days for sure!!!
It's nice to have something we have not had before. Momentum and on the field results. People are talking more than I have heard in a long time!!
Greetings Cajun fans:
I have been an App State season ticket holder for 20+ years. Undergrad in '83 & MBA in '85. Been following App State football since we ran the Power I (3 yds & a cloud of dust) in the 1980s.
I am looking forward to meeting some Cajun fans. My son & I will be there Wednesday around 11:00 ish. Hope to have lunch at Fezzos and dinner at Cafe Vermillionville. I've developed a fondness for Cajun cookin'! Can't deny it.
As to the ballgame, App's offense & special teams are pretty darn good. Both are better than last year's versions. And, that's saying alot. Speed everywhere & the O-line has controlled the LoS of all games so far (incl. UNC).
App's D has some questions. If those questions are not answered, this could be an old fashioned shoot-out.
Louisiana looks pretty good too. I thought you all played us last year harder than anyone else. GaSo beat us last year, but that really was unusual b/c 1) game was down there, 2) our QB suffered a concussion early on, & 3) our best LB was ejected in 1st half. Things went down hill from there. We play GaSo this year on Halloween this year on ESPN (should be a real slobber-knocker!).
Congrats on your win in Statesboro. Anyone who can beat them down there has a good football team.
Say hello if you see us. Looking forward to it. Good luck!
BTW, it seems to me that it is a shame that Louisiana & App State are separated by such a long distance. Otherwise, we would have a natural rivalry with better attendance from the visiting side.
