Welcome to Lafayette Coach!

[Turbine]

Yeah coach, welcome to Louisiana.

[CAJUNJUDO]

Welcome coach!

But why is this being released today? Is Bobby a little jealous of the football donation or what?

It’s MUCH more difficult to get donations in the Sunbelt West basketball conference than in the SB West Football conference. Don’t you remember Big Game Bob’s post game excuse last season?

Of course I do

This hire was made several days ago. They wanted to release it last week but HR bureaucratic delays prevented that from occurring.

He played briefly for the New Nets in 2006.

So why not wait until today?
24 hours would not have made a difference.
I just find it humorous.

Did this guy play for Mississippi State when Brad Boyd and the Cajuns beat them in Starkville? Seems around the same time.

[Cajunsmike]

I think Zimmerman did play for the Bulldogs in the game Brad led the Cajuns to an upset. I think that game was in November of 2002.
