[CajunKate]

first time i've thought about that in years. the thought made me pause over my corndog. _

Okay, not gonna lie; that line made me LOL.

On to the topic of the thread: Congratulations to Mike! Brains and brawn- I swoon, I swoon!

_ when i was young, miss st was sometimes called the "maroons" sorta like an alternate team name in the vein of the war eagles or the plainsmen for auburn. first time i've thought about that in years. the thought made me pause over my corndog. _

Glad you could see the humor in the post, and not get offended by an off the cuff attempt at a joke! Enjoy the bye week, your team has a tough task next weekend.

GEAUX UL!

Anybody have any news on Mike?

This is what Joshua Parrott reported:

"UL quarterback Mike Desormeaux went down with an injury with 10:40 left but walked off the field under his own power. He said he was fine after the game."

[cajun67]

"Fine" as defined by Desormeaux would likely mean that I would still be lying on the turf waiting to heal before I got up. One tough hombre.

Des is liek the Black Night in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" with both arms and legs cut off challenging his opponent..."C'mon back here, I'll bite your kneecaps off !!!!!!"

Oh yeah!! I told someone last week after the monroe game that he'd continue to play as long as his legs still worked and he remained conscious!!!

[CajunSaint]

somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the linebacker we use to have on our team this year, you know the who preferred to have his head in the clouds rather than focused on the football field, at the very least would have qualified to be in the running for this. 3.71 gpa, or something close to that. i believe that's what i read somewhere.

I wonder if Des is going to be 100% in the mobillity department. We could really use his feet on Saturday.

I don't know if that was Turbine or 77 but thank you for a good chuckle this morning. Man it feels great to be a Cajun fan right now.
