From the Bird’s Nest: Road Trip–Arkansas State
The original plan was to write about the only road trip by auto this season.
But, thanks to the fiasco after the Middle Tennessee trip and some heavy negotiating, this wound up being the sixth road trip by air for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns this season...
From the Bird’s Nest: Five Intriguing Games for Nov. 12
Louisiana tries to win a piece of the Sun Belt Conference championship this weekend. But Jonesboro, Arkansas certainly won't be the only interesting site for college football this week. Here are five games to keep an eye on.
1. OREGON ...
From the Bird’s Nest: A Veterans’ Day Tribute
In his book “The Greatest Generation,” former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw paid tribute to those who served in the Second World War. I read the book a few years ago and learned so much more about those brave men and women who were simply cut from a different cloth. The book, in m...

From the Bird’s Nest: My Harris Poll Vote
Because of the difficulty in getting home from Nashville last week, I neglected to post this. So, here we are after a one week absence with my Harris Poll vote for this week.
Over the next few weeks this all is going to shake out. Stanford still must play Oregon, LSU has to play Arkansas, Oklahoma State has Oklahoma, not to mention a tough trip to Lubbock next week, and Boise State has to face T
From the Bird’s Nest: Five Keys to Beating Louisiana-Monroe
Louisiana hosts Louisiana-Monroe tomorrow afternoon at Cajun Field. If the Cajuns win the game before a raucous crowd, they will play for a championship next weekend in Jonesboro, AR.
From the Bird’s Nest: Road Trip–Middle Tennessee
Another week, another road trip.
After a tough loss the week before to Western Kentucky, this was going to be a big game for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns. Middle Tennessee had the league's best rushing and passing offense and the Cajuns were going to have to play a lot better in this one than they had the week before.

From the Bird’s Nest: Cajuns, Raiders Have Been Memorable
Louisiana and Middle Tennessee meet for the thirteenth straight season this Saturday at Johnny "Red" Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro, TN. Kickoff is set for 6:30.
I guess it's only fitting that the series is tied 6-6. And, each team is 3-3 at home and on the road.
Yep, ...

Cajuns can come back with a "W", but they'll have to do a lot of things right.
From the Bird’s Nest: Ambushed
At the beginning of the season, I predicted the Cajuns would have a 4-8 record. Thankfully, I was dead wrong.
However, that prediction was based on what I expected this Cajuns team to look like.
And, don't look now, but that team showed up this past Saturday.

From the Bird’s Nest: Road Trip–Western Kentucky
It had been almost a month since the last road trip. That FIU jaunt was a distant memory as we prepared to head to Nashville for Saturday's game in Bowling Green against Western Kentucky.
It was a normal road trip at the beginning. We got to Landmark Aviation around 12:15. The Old...
From the Bird’s Nest: My Harris Poll Vote
Finally, a shakeup in the top ten.
I've pretty much voted the same in the top nine the last three weeks. But now, there's been some separation. As a result of so many teams losing (especially in the lower seven) it took a while for me to rank the teams this week. This is...
From the Bird’s Nest: The Road Beckons
When I write my Friday prediction blogs, I do my best to look at things analytically.
It's not an easy thing to do when you have a dog in the hunt.
But I do my best not to be a fan and just look at strengths and weaknesses of each team and how one side of the football matches up with the other.
