We've been quite the UL football fans lately. Yes, this IS the third football season that we have been here, so it's about time we got with the program, bought ourselves some UL shirts, and attended some games! It doesn't hurt either that we're cheering for a team that is 6-1 right now! (Matt says that if UL gets to go to a bowl game, we're going on a road trip to see them. We'll have to see about that!)

The first game we attended this season was against FAU. We went over to the tailgating area and hung out with Matt's cousin and family for a little bit, so we were late getting into the stadium and all the front row seats were taken (which is Juliette's preferred seat since she gets a good view of the cheerleaders and the mascot).

We sat down in one area while Matt went to scout out seats elsewhere and then he texted me to tell me that he found some front row ones. I didn't realize until we got to him WHY there were empty front row seats!
It's because it was right smack in front of FAU's cheerleaders and their owl mascot. (Juliette couldn't resist getting a picture made with him...he was cute!) I have to say I felt conflicted for a little bit there about who I should cheer for because in one ear I was hearing, "Ragin' Cajuns!" and in the other ear I was hearing, "Go Owls!"

We went back this past weekend to another game and this time, we got to sit in the "right" area, and Juliette got a picture with Cayenne.

There is only one more home game, but I will be in New Orleans for work that day so I won't be able to go. Matt and Juliette have plans to attend, though, and to tailgate with Matt's cousin as well. We're having fun cheering for the Ragin' Cajuns, and we are excited to see how their season turns out!

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
