I remember at McNaspy stadium in the 60's hearing the cheer "Hot Boudin, Cold cush cush, come on Cajuns push, push, push". Then in Blackham for the basketball games some people turned it around and said "Cold cush cush, Hot Boudin, the referee's a feepe tan. I didn't know what that ment for a long time............![]()
I know they have a guy up there who was just recognized by the LEH, he re-publishes important French books. Other than that, I don't know.
Our department has gone through a few transitions recently, but we still have Barry Ancelet, Fabrice LeRoy, and Abdelhak Serhane. They aren't known to the general public, but they are all heavy hitters in the field. Serhane is known all over France as an important writer, but because he writes in French, no one here has ever heard of him.
10 years ago, we were the best hands down. Maybe that's changed.
I think I have an OK suggestion for a new chant to use at Cajun Field. Dunno if it was ever used before. Growing up my grandmother on my mothers side used to take care of us a lot when my mom had errands or something to do. Everytime I was over there and she made me something to eat, she would wait for the first bit and ask everytime..."C'est Bon?" To which we usually replied..."Bon." I always remember her phone conversations because she usually spoke mostly in cajun french with her friends and older relatives. I could usually pick out a couple of words most notably the word for pig, as I was a husky kid I could tell she was talking about me because she used that same word everytime I was there.
So....anyone feeling creative have at it because I'm not that creative a person. I could make a spreadsheet look good but not much else.
A gourmand (sp?). It's what my granny calls all her grandchildren.
I think I can recall Toby Warren using the Geaux spelling on the message board on the Bertrand/Congress corner------These boards seemed kinda new at the time----I remember when we signed Andrew Toney and the crawl had something to the effect of remember this name!!!! UL---first with UL- first with the Swamp- and first with Geaux!!!!! Oh and I know that some will say last in a new message board on the same corner---Gerald Hebert where is COX???? LOL
The bottom line is GEAUX is UL.....but, I really do differ on calling anything in or around Lake Charles part of Acadiana!

This is almost a dozen years after (1976) "Geaux-Cajuns" was mentioned in UL's L'Acadien magazine, but since there are not too many pictures from the era . . .
Here is one (1987) that says "We Go Cajun! We Geaux!"
