Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns moved indoors for Thursday's practice, working at the Cajundome Convention Center after forecasts called for threatening weather near the start of practice.

Unfortunately, only mild rains fell and the weather cleared midway through practice.

"Forecasting the weather is really tough," said safeties coach Tim Rebowe. "We made a decision to move up Wednesday's scrimmage because the forecast called for bad weather - and it ended up being a beautiful day."

Once a decision is made to move indoors and practice begins, it's rarely changed. Too much time would be wasted moving practice equipment and auxiliary personnel.

In addition, all 105 players would have to move back across the street into the locker room to change from indoor shoes to cleats. The entire process would waste valuable practice time.

"It too difficult to move back outside," Rebowe said. "Some of us (coaches) noticed the weather clearing up, but the guys were intense and focused and I don't believe too many took note."
