I found two good reasons to smile about the future success of our Ragin Cajuns football program. First of all, we will be on an exclusive ESPN2 Friday Night football game. Talk about some national coverage. Let`s get a big crowd there and win! Second thing that makes me smile, is that Offensive lineman Ben Leonards (UL signee), Catholic High of New Iberia’s quarterback Michael Desormeaux (UL signee), Parkview Baptist linebacker Brenton Burkhalter (UL signee) and John Curtis offensive lineman Matt Luwe (UL signee) have been selected to play on the Louisiana team for the Florida-Louisiana High School Football All-Star Classic, that will be held on Saturday, June 12 in Orlando, Fla. That tells me that Bustle is bustling up and getting some good talent from the area. Our team`s gonna be good, and this will hopefully draw some local support as well.

Geaux Cajuns!

Think of all the people that will be at sports bars across the country on that Friday night when we are on ESPN2. Most of the TVs at those bars will have ESPN2 on. A lot of people will catch what SBC football has to offer.

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!

Things are definetly looking up for us. I think this is the season we start turning the corner. The UL vs. NT game gives us an opportunity to showcase our talent and the Sunbelt on national television. I swear this news just makes me more pumped for the upcoming season.

Hey could you imagine if we beat North Texas on ESPN 2 On a friday night, We win the rest of the Sunbelt games before the UNT game, and beat UNT THAT GOAL POST IS COMING DOWN AND THERE WILL BE NOBODY THAT WOULD STOP US FROM TEARING DOWN THE GOAL POST. IT WILL BE LIKE BEATING TEXAS A&M AGAIN lol.

[El Sidonio]

It would be absolutely huge, I agree. I hope the university and the community and the newspaper really get behind it and support our team and draw a big crowd. Geaux UL Ragin Cajuns!

[bengalcajun]

That would be nice, I for one just hope we don't get blownout. A tough showing and a close game is about all we should expect.

"A tough showing and a close game is about all we should expect."

I think that is the least we should expect or settle for. Its time to expect to see a vast improvement from the team this season. I think they are capable of it.

When did Ben Leonards sign with us? Good news about Desormeaux and Burkhalter and even better news if we signed Leonards.

Swamphound, he is going to be a preferred walk-on.
