Has UL EVER been to a bowl game?

Perhaps the University of Louisiana needs a Sports Historian. Get your resumes ready.

Any nominations???

That is something that is definately lacking on www.ragincajuns.com

Turbine has to be the one, the great Turbine knows all! Or at least it seems like he does.

So basically we can thank WWII for that year.. heh..

My dad was going to SLI back then and was band president one year. He said Alvin Dark(from Lake Charles) was a phenomenal athlete in any sport he participated in.

I can remember his days as a player with the Giants(baseball) and then as a manager for several teams.

I also think Glen Davis of Army fame may have played for SLI one of those WWII years and I think my mom has a yearbook with his pic in it. I will be in Lafayette over the T'giving holidays and check it out.

That is wrong but I see the claim on every UL website I go to. The UL SID should spend his summer fixing this. It's bad for perception it's bad for recruiting. I know we been to one bowl it might be two.

I love these inquiries!

My guess is they are refering to bowl games as a D1 team. The Cajuns have not attended a
bowl game since the 1970 Grantland Rice bowl vs Tennessee State. (L 26-25) Other than that, the only other bowl appearance was the 1944 Oil bowl vs Arkansas A&M. (W 24-7)

Why do you love these inquiries? You didnt see that I had highlighted your statement in my previous post?

Did you listen to BOP's interview of Ron Gomez and Coach Shipley?

[SportsFan]

No, I didn't hear the interview. The book interests me though. I used to work for Ron Gomez, and enjoyed talking with him. I have a lot of respect for him.

I enjoy "researching" the inquiries.
