Yeah I've been a fan for about six months now, It's more fun to follow you guys then jump on the bandwagon of Miami, Oklahoma, or Texas. Besides there's no good teams in New York anyway.

I listened to the first half before the internet messed up on me. Dwight Lindon sounded like a man possessed. Justin Venable did some time at Fullback. When I lost the signal the white were winning 14-0

Hard to give an accurate discription because of the nature of the game. To say that Luke Sniewski number 11 made a good showing would be the highlight of the game for me. To bad S. Comisky missed the game winner. Dwight Lindon looks like he will be a force in the fall.

Red/White Game ends in 14-14 Push

LOUISIANA La. - Spring football came to a close for Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns on Saturday afternoon with the Annual Red/White Spring Game. Weather conditions were perfect, as temperatures sat in the mid-70’s with plenty of sunshine.

The game had plenty of excitement throughout, but ended in an uneventful 14-14 draw. Sean Comiskey had a chance to win the game for White with an uncontested 46-yard field goal, but the blast carried wide left with one second remaining in the game.

White built a 14-0 halftime lead, only to see Red storm back with 14 second half points to tie the game.

B.J. Crist opened the scoring in the first quarter with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Luke Sniewski.

After each team traded a series, White’s Ross Rix ran four straight times for 38 yards, before fullback Justin Venable gained 11 more yards. Following five straight runs, Sniewski went to the air and found Crist open in the middle of the end zone for the score.

Dwight Lindon’s four-yard touchdown plunge with 42 seconds remaining in the first half gave White a two-score edge at the break. Lindon ran three times on the drive for 17 yards and caught an 11-yard pass from Sniewski.

Jerry Babb led the Red comeback. Babb went 3-for-3 passing for 24 yards and added a four-yard rush to help Red’s third quarter scoring drive. A 15-yard personal foul-face mask aided the drive, which ended with a six-yard touchdown toss from Babb to fullback Travis Cones.

I also thought Venable looked good. So did the Red FB Travis Cones. In addition to the runs both of them had some nice catches out of the backfield; pretty good for Fullbacks.

I took in the Red & White game this afternoon. Not bad. I saw some improvements over last year. The running backs looked good.....Lindon,Nix and Levier. Babb was fairly steady. New QB Sniewski looked good. He is an excellent passer, not too mobile, however. Game ended in a tie 14-14. Sean Comiskey missed on a 46 yd FG wide left. You could have sworn he had missed the winning field for the national championship. What a competitor! Our Krewe also got in a little tailgating. Had crawfish etouffe, green salad, and toasted garlic bread. Just a little warm up for the coming season.

cajuncharlie,

That would be me! Been a Cajuns fan ever since I was a little kid. Remember getting psyched when USL was on ESPN with Marty Fletcher havin' a fit, watchin' former Cajuns Byron Starks, Todd Hill, Aaron Mitchell, Michael Allen, Bryan Collins, and others.

Acctually, I think your missing a big point. The reason It PO'd Cominsky and the Red team was so happy was that the losing team had to serve the other team later on this spring. I think that made all the difference in the world in the spring game cuzz there was just a little more intensity. It was really fun to watch the game though.

Was it a clean kick or did the red team get a hand on it? While it didn't look like it was deflected from its path, Stanley Smith (#4 Red) was getting congratulations from his teammates and coaches after the kick.
