2023 UL Hall of Fame

[CajunEXPRESS]

Is Tom Cox eligible, or are only past head coaches? I'd like to see J. Kelley Hall given consideration too.

Hall of fame can be meteoric like Gale Sayers achieved.

Also from a long career such as Ricky Jackson in NOLA

point is Hall’s work was meteoric.

Hell Yea Fenroy! Wide Open Swamp Baw!

I wanna say Homecoming 06, this dude bust an a gap and took it from mid-field to the house like it was Tecmo Bowl.

Best Cajun RB in my time at Louisiana. By very, very far.

Gates C and D open at 5:30 tomm for open practice to begin 60 min. later.

I believe I am correct in saying this. Dentition is one of only 3 running backs in NCAA Division 1 football to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his 4 years.

Let's remember that coaches have not been eligible for very long. There has been one coach named to the HOF each year since 2018.

Yvette was the first. Beryl Shipley, Charles Lancon, Tony Robichaux, Russ Faulkinberry.

I agree about Coach Paschal, but I wouldn't have put him in ahead of any of those mentioned above.

If a coach had also been a student here would they have still been eligible without the change?

The article says he became the 7th

Most Rushing Yards in entire State of Louisiana history as well.

There was a nomination process on social media. I don’t know how official it was. However some of us basketball oriented folks pushed hard for Coach Paschal. The website lists many of his accomplishments. However it list some but not all of the major programs the Cajuns defeated in his career.

[NewsCopy]

Some of the all-time great Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to be inducted into the UL Athletics Hall of Fame in October 2023.

Well, put another dime in the jukebox…

[Turbine]

At the time of Fenroy 's accomplishment he was the fourth.

There have been three since.

When they opened it up to coaches, administrators, and those who left school early to pursue professional sports, the number of inductees went up proportionately. Last year we inducted six. This year it’s eight. But the total is still under 200.

…..Jay you did a great job last year….Are you back?
