  UL - Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns head to Troy, Ala., Saturday to face the Trojans of Troy University. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m., in a game that features the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Sun Belt Conference.

The winner will be in great shape to capture the conference crown. In fact, the winner will finish no worse than a tie for first place in the conference.

UL remains just one win away from bowl eligibility. With the expansion of bowl tie-ins with the Sun Belt Conference, UL has the ability to go to one of four different bowl games ranging in location from Shreveport, La. to St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Cajuns offense rushed for 228 yards against FAU. It was the seventh time this year that the Cajuns had over 200 yards of rushing. The 2008 team continued its attack on the UL record books when the team broke the single season touchdown rushing record against FAU. The team has 48 touchdowns on the season, breaking the previous record of 46 in 2005.

Senior star running back Tyrell Fenroy had 92 yards rushing and a touchdown against FAU. It was the eighth straight game and ninth overall which saw Fenroy score a rushing touchdown.

Louisiana’s special teams blocked two kicks against FAU. It was the 33rd and 34th blocked kick since Rickey Bustle arrived in 2002. The 34 blocked kicks are the tied for third most in NCAA FBS since 2002.

Following the game against Troy, UL will return home for the season finale Wednesday Dec. 3, against Middle Tennessee. The game against Middle Tennessee will kick off at 6 p.m. and be televised on ESPN+.

Not sure I like the quote at the end....."Someone has to pay"

That scares me.

Bustle and the team needs to read this, and know how fired up Troy is going to be for this game..................................................or it could be a REALLY LONG NIGHT!

_ Maybe Burkhaulter is ready to come back. I think he still has 3 chances left on the "Southall Scale". _

Burkhalter ____ed hot three times in the span of 5 weeks. Southall never did anything like that while he was here.

  With UL's football team mired in a two-game losing streak, wide receiver Jason Chery offered his solution to getting back on track. The senior plans on using the approach this week as the Cajuns travel to play at Troy on Saturday in a matchup of Sun Belt co-leaders.

The winner of the 6 p.m. showdown between UL (5-5 overall, 4-1 Sun Belt) and the Trojans (6-4, 4-1) will earn at least a share of the conference championship.

A win would make the Cajuns bowl eligible. The loser will likely see its Sun Belt title aspirations come to an end barring some help in the final week of the regular season.

If the Cajuns beat Troy this week and Middle Tennessee on Dec. 3, they will earn their first outright league title and bowl berth since 1970.

  TROY -- Troy's collapse Saturday night at LSU kept biting the Trojans on their trip home.

As the team rolled back dejectedly toward campus, reminders of its agonizing 40-31 loss kept coming, ironically, in the form of congratulatory phone calls.

Some friends, satisfied that Troy's 31-3 third-quarter lead was enough, switched off the game. As midnight approached, they called players to offer their compliments, only to find out that LSU had rallied to win.

"Every time someone called, I had to relive it," offensive lineman Chris Jamison said. "Luckily, my phone battery ran out, so I could just sit and think about it.

Our scoreboard read "LaTech" instead of LaTex. We always respect our visiting opponents and fans unless they give reasons not to.

Old Reality Check is a pistol. He fancies himself an all knowing, all seeing mystery man, standing at the ready like all the other name police....at a moments notice, ready to pull out the UL system rule of law. In "reality" he's just a guy just like you and me..... cept we are fans of "The University of Louisiana"

LOL! Is he also the BBU Cowboy fan who was going to report us all to the Texas Attorney General's Office? I can visualize that complaint being filed.

"Hello General, there's a bunch of them there Ragin' Cajun fans calling themselves "UL" and "Louisiana". We here good ole boys want the quietus interuptness put all over this here unAmerican activity NOW. Come back to me, good buddy, 10-4."

"We're all over it, old buck. I'm a sendin' in the Rangers to clear' em out. Hold tight and I'll be back atcha."
