The Bustle File Bustle’s Cajuns have won six games in three of the past four seasons, a stretch not equaled since UL was a member of the Big West Conference from 1993-95. In fact, since the 2005 season, only three Sun Belt schools can boast three six-win seasons. Coach Bustle was victorious 23 times in his first five seasons with the Cajuns Head Coach from 2002-06, including 11 of the last 17 games. UL won only nine games in the five seasons prior to Bustle’s arrival from 1997-2001. Clemson, ‘76 Bustle saw his winning percentage increase each of the first four seasons since Eighth Season taking the job in 2002, but regressed to .500 in 2006. His 6-6 record in 2006 was only deemed a regression because of the high standards and raised levels of Personal expectations by the Cajuns and their fans. In fact, Bustle’s 12 wins from 2005-06 Born: August 23, 1953 were the most in a two-year period since 1994-95. One of Bustle’s proudest moments was watching four-time All-Sun Belt Hometown: Summerville, S.C. selection and 2008 SBC Player of the Year, Tyrell Fenroy, become just the seventh Wife: Lynn player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.

  • Bowls Include Nice Weather Games in Miami, Boca Raton, and the Bahamas
    By the Numbers Bowl Edition Welcome to the bowl edition of By the Numbers. Here you will find some commentary on each of the (38!) bowl games as well as the computer’s picks. With more than a month off for some teams, a bowl game can be more like a first game of the year than the logical conclusion of the season, so the computer picks are not reliable. New bowls include nice weather games in Miami, Boca Raton, and the Bahamas ... plus the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit. I thought that perhaps the Detroit folks got confused about what type of bowling was being rolled out, but it turns out that Quick Lane is a tire and auto repair place. Most of the commentary about the selection process has been positive. There has been some croaking about TCU dropping from #3 to #6 while winning 55-3, but a surprising number of commentators have clued into the concept of re-evaluating every week. It turns out that strength of schedule changes weekly; who knew? It, undoubtedly, helps everybody’s humor that the final four consists of champions from four different conferences. According to my ratings, the committee mostly got it right (other than TCU). You have to include Florida State because they are unbeaten; actually, in the version of the ratings that only uses schedule and wins/losses, FSU is #1. It's also nice that the committee placed good teams in the New Year's Day Six bowls. Some quick bowl facts: the SEC set a record with 12 bowl teams (if Kentucky had held onto a late lead against Louisville, the SEC would have had 13 out of 14!).
