Something is stirring in Lafayette. It truly feels different than past seasons in a good way. It’s not just the smell of gumbo simmering on a Saturday morning or the familiar buzz of tailgates filling the air with zydeco and optimism. It’s bigger. Deeper. This upcoming football season isn’t just the start of another year for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns—it’s the beginning of a new era, marked by pride, progress, and the heartbeat of a community that never stops showing up for its own.
