2011 New Orleans Bowl: LOUISIANA (32) SDSU (30)

[Hammer58]

I just wanted to take a moment to bring some light to this guy. Dude was NAILS last night, and has been all season. Lost in the record performance by Gautier, Lawson also cemented himself into the record book. He became just the 3rd player in UL history to eclipse 1000 yards receiving in a season, his 193 yards last night was the 4th most in school history, his 1092 yards on the season is 4th in school history, he just pushed Fred Stamps down the list, and the only player in front of him is Brandon Stokely. What a breakout season for this guy, cant wait to see what his encore will be in his senior season next year.

Also, one other thing, with the TD last night, Green finished the season tied for 5th most recieving TDs in a season ever. Also, while Gautier broke Delhommes single season passing yards record, AND passing TD's record (all while he barely played in 2 games), he also had the 2nd most passing yards in a single game ever, AND accounted for the most offense from scrimmage ever with his 492 yards of total offense. Last night wasn't just a great night, it was HISTORICAL. These guys raised the bar.

So many guys stepped up this year and contributed. Thats what made the season so successful. In past seasons we had one or two standout guys but they can't carry the team on their shoulders alone. The difference this year is we had so many guys contributing that they carried each other to a great season. Its easy for some of these guys contributions to get lost in all the excitement.

I posted this as my facebook status this morning and got alot of positive response so I thought i would share it here as well.

I know my place as a college football fan. I know the Cajuns will never contend for a National Championship and it would be a miracle to even sniff a BCS bowl apperance. To all of you that are LSU fans I honestly wish your team the best of luck on the 9th of January. However deep in my heart I know one thing, no matter if Miles or Saban holds the crystal football that night, no fan whether wearing purple or crimson will walk out of the superdome feeling more satisfied with what they experienced than I did last night. To be a Cajun is a special thing most will never understand, and I'm a Ragin Cajun for life. Geaux UL!

I'm stealing that. Verbatim. Really good look at it.

Louisiana-Lafayette strength and conditioning coach Rusty Whitt could be seen bleeding from his head on the sideline during the first quarter of the Ragin' Cajuns' victory. Whether the crazy coach was unaware or simply demonstrating how insane ...

The rest of the story

Westbanker! Strong work, Javone!

[CajunRebel]

He clearly jumped twice trying to draw our offensive linemen offside and rumor has it he was also making noise. It was clearly the correct call. It's just not a call you see made very often.

[DieHard1280]

It fell into the awning or whatever that was behind the goal post if my memory serves me correctly. I think it may have been good from 60.

[CajunEXPRESS]

The ref overlooked the first false start, but had to throw the flag on the second as it forced our guy to move. ESPN listed the rule. Made no difference BB would have nailed it at 60.

Phantom penalty? Funny, I thoiught I saw a few of those go the OTHER way ...

After the two pass interference no calls in the end zone on our last drive I dont want to hear ____ from anyone crying about that call.

Remember this too, Lawson, Surgent, & Gautier will be back next season.
