That post is full of win.

As long as it is used as an interjection or exclamation and not as a pronoun (and carries the spirit of the moment) it is acceptable.

Thanks, I_Bleed. We'll have our hands full; I hope Bama doesn't call your kicker for words of wisdom...lol

On the opposite end of that, we missed two extra points and a fg.

If UL had lost I would have really missed that field goal. Actaully though he made all 3 FGs but one was taken off the board for a penalty.

Good Stuff!

This past weekend was by far the best time I've had in New Orleans in a long time.

We all had the night we had all dreamed of. Everyone will know right where they were as the ball sailed through the upright, and the cajuns finally were bowl champions. We'll never forget Gautiers 3x record breaking night (most pass yards in a season, most pass TDs in a season, and most offensive yards posted by 1 player), and we won't forget the circus catches our entire receiving corps made while being interfered with. Most stories from that night are very similar, and mine is no different. With that said, my favorite moment though came after the game was over, I now have a #63 Red Cajuns jersey that I bought when you could buy Jerseys through the university (yea, he sold me a red one, not sure how or why, but I jumped on it, now I consider Jarad Martin my kindred spirit, was glad to see him in the 2 deep, hopefully he starts next year). Anyway, as I was leaving, a girl (around 11 years old) came up and gave me a high five, and a little boy (about 7) came up as well and gave me a high five with their parents. The little boy asked me if I were a UL football player and I told him that I wasn't good enough to be a player for UL. What the little boy said next absolutely made my night worth every minute. The little boy told me "I want to grow up to be a UL Football Player". I talked to him a few minutes more and told him that if he worked really hard he could one day be a UL Football player. It was incredibly rewarding to see a child so excited about UL football. Its so exciting for all of us, but to see someone that young so excited about UL football was incredibly rewarding. This is the best time to be a Ragin Cajun. Our future is so bright!

A co-worker of mine here in Baton Rouge told me a story of how she saw the end of the game that absolutely shocked me!

She was at a VERY popular bar here in Baton Rouge. Music playing all evening long, the game was on the big screen, a few people watching. She even said that several people in the bar had on red UL gear. The next part is what shocked me. Once the game got close. The bar STOPPED playing music, put the audio of the game on throughout the entire place, and EVERYONE was rooting us on she said. When we won, everyone in the bar was going nuts! She then started texting me about how crazy the game was. I didn't get the text until WAY LATER, but oh well.

NOT EVERYONE in Baton Rouge hates us! Just saying...
