Jay, I believe you have been invited to the dinner tonight with the reunion guys. If that is correct, I hope you write a blog about the evening. It is something I am certain all would enjoy reading.

I have always thought that Rickey Broussard --I include Danny and the rest of the clan a very classy bunch-----His parting thought on the Kevin Ft. show was something like---I coached against Marlin several times at Nichols and I can tell ya'll he is a great coach and will have this thing turned around quickly!!!! In past times I sure pulled for him to have the UL job!!!!!

Long Gym on campus, Blackham Coliseum and the Cajundome. Bobby Paschal, who coached USL from 1979-86, remembered a moment during a 1980s game when Cajuns guard Alonza Allen stoked the home crowd to life as Allen threw a basketball off a backboard in ...

  UL basketball coach Bob Marlin considers tonight's game against UL Monroe to be big for a number of reasons.

It will wrap up UL's Basketball Reunion weekend, plus it's a Sun Belt Conference game against an in-state rival. The game tips off at 7:05 p.m. in the Cajundome.

Jim Hatfield made the trip from Panama City, Fla., to Lafayette for UL's Basketball Reunion this weekend for one reason.

Of all his coaching stops, Hatfield liked coaching the Ragin' Cajuns more than anywhere else. Hatfield helped then-USL rebuild after a two-year death penalty handed down by the NCAA, going 47-35 from 1975-78 before leaving to take over Mississippi State's program.

Being there last night was a great thrill. For me. I went to support UL and to support Shipley, Cox & the Winkler-Lamar era players, the teams that I had such a close relationship with in school, and at the games.

But seeing Gomez & Cox again, trading stories with Tom became interesting. meetin Parrott & Jay Walker finally. Seeing PT, Hank, meetting players from before and after my time at U(S)L.....so sweet.

If you are not at the game tonight, you should be shot, never mind, just finding out what you missed tomorrow will be punishment enough.

This is depressing, I love history.

I miss something like this more than I miss being on the sidelines for a game.

Turb, why is this depressing. Although times are different today, these great memories are some of the reasons why we still have the potential to be the TOP mid major in the south. It is a reason for encouragement about the future. We need to pass on these stories of the reunion weekend to potential recruits. Now, if you are depressed about being 4 and 14 when we have such a rich tradition, that I understand.
