Football Begins Friday As Cajuns Report

LAFAYETTE ? Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns football team is one day away from the start of a new season, as head coach Rickey Bustle's squad ushers in the 2007 campaign with its first official team activity Friday.

Bustle begins his sixth fall camp two days earlier than at any point under his watch in Cajun Country. The earlier reporting date will allow for the Cajuns to take Sundays off during camp. The near completion of the Leon Moncla Indoor Practice Facility will ensure the Cajuns' practices will proceed as scheduled.

One hundred five student-athletes will check into dorm rooms, gather for a team meeting, undergo physical exams and finalize equipment fitting throughout the day Friday.

The 2007 edition of the Ragin' Cajuns begins practice Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Twenty-two seniors begin the march toward their final campaign of their college career. Saturday's practice will begin a 20-day camp schedule, highlighted by four two-a-day sessions.

Louisiana begins the 2007 season when it travels to Columbia, S.C., to face the South Carolina Gamecocks on Sept. 1. The Gamecocks have yet to announce a kickoff time for that contest.
