The Book: 2007 Football

[NewsCopy]

They might be the hardest working people in ball business. Don't believe it? Hey, you try fitting out a 105-man team and its periphery groups with every conceivable piece of equipment necessary to play college football, including some equipment you've never heard of or never knew was important. The world of the equipment manager is far removed from merely throwing a helmet and a set of shoulder pads around every body. Each player's equipment is molded and adjusted for his own particular needs and functions, and all precisely governed in its use by NCAA and safety regulations. Cleaning, sanitizing and reworking all the pads for every game is routine. Game uniforms, practice uniforms, shorts for non-contact work, all have to be clean and ready.

Today is UL Wear Red Day in Acadiana, and participants are invited to find a red Ragin’ Cajuns shirt (or hat, pants, etc.) in their closet and wear it in order to celebrate the positive impact the UL has had on the development of the Acadiana area. This second annual event is being held in conjunction with College Colors Day, a national celebration of the traditions, contributions and achievements of universities across the country. To mark the event, UL is encouraging everyone to wear red to work and school today. Businesses are once again invited to contend for bragging rights for the most employees wearing red on Friday. The contest will again be divided into categories based on a company’s overall size. Representatives of the winning companies will be invited to a home football game for an on-field presentation proclaiming them the 2007 Wear Red Champions. TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UL CONTEST: Photos of participating teams will be displayed on the jumbo video screen on the scoreboard at home football games throughout the season. To enter, submit a high-resolution, digital photograph of your entire group wearing red today, along with the total number of people in the photo and the number of employees at the business. Submissions can be sent via e-mail to WearRed@louisiana.edu The deadline for photo entries is Sept. 7. For more information, e-mail WearRed@louisiana.edu or call 482-6397. The rest of the story

Does anybody know which local establishments, if any, are carrying the game against South Carolina?

I am thinking that everyone in town would have it on. Especially places like Legend's, Baja, Pete's, Wild Wings, etc. dont now for sure, but i would assume. If you give them a call today and ask around, let us know for sure. I don't ahve the numbers for most of those places in Houston, but would like to know, being as i will be in Lafayette.

My Cajuns Are Playing Tomorrow! I Can't Believe It's Finally Here!

[Damon]

I'm excited.

[CajunCherokee]

I think we will surprise some people.

[CajunNation]

_ I think we will surprise some people. _

I think you are correct. With this new offense, we will either surprise South Carolina fans with our good play, or we will suprise some Cajun fans with how much we will struggle.

There is no middle ground with this thing.

I think you are correct. With this new offense, we will either surprise South Carolina fans with our good play, or we will suprise some Cajun fans with how much we will struggle.

There is no middle ground with this thing.

I hope and pray it is the first and not the latter.
