Dude. T. Valentine is gonna show up a practice next week.......be in the rotation week 1.......and will probably be drafted in the 2nd round. He's not staying here 2 years.
He won't even be starter. Dude had some good chances to showcase his ability in JUCO, but it wasn't anything spectacular, even though he was playing against scrubs. He's going to need to develop like anybody else.
LaCouture has beaten out several highly ranked guys from the get-go and started two years in a row. He also just graduated, so he has a lot more time for football in his final year.
Godchaux is a beast, enough said on that.
With Herron, Gilmore, and all the incoming freshman, we have some great depth.
These are all Coach O's players now and most have already proven themselves to him.

it's a moniker that Ed started using in early 2014. Given to him by his mentor. He has called him self "La Rougarou" or "Louisianamal"

All I know is that we are going to have some beef on the line for obvious run situations. Our goal line package will be better than it has been in quite some time.

Yep.
quote:
The Loup Garou (also can be known as rougarou) is a French legend of a human who changes into a wolf at his/her own will. The word 'loup' is a French word that means wolf and 'garou' is an old Frankish word similar to 'werewolf'. The legend says that when a person comes into contact with a loup garou and sheds the blood of the beast, the Loup Garou will then changed to its human form and reveal their secret. The victim then becomes a Loup Garou for one hundred and one days. If the victim speak of the encounter to anyone, they become a loup garou themselves. But if they remain quiet about it, they will return to their human form and continue on with their lives. In the legends, the loup garou is said to be someone the victim knows, such as a jealous former lover.
The legend was often used to scare children when misbehaving (ex: "make your bed or the loup garou is gonna get ya'!" ) What makes them different from the common werewolf is that they don't change with the cycles of the moon and have complete change over their actions. So, what makes these creatures so dangerous and terrifying is the fact that while in their wolf form they are completely aware and as intelligent as they are in their human form. With their enhanced abilities and senses, it make them difficult to destroy. These are magnificent, intelligent and blessed creatures (in some tales), but beware le Loup Garou...

You are absolutely 100 % correct. Mike Rowe and the good people of Pierre Part screwing up the French language for everyone.

Grandma called it loupguru.

We used to talk about the Loupgarou in the Honey Island Swamp. Only vaguely remember talk of the Rougarou. Are they the same thing? I bet they are and that, like 'Acadian' to 'Cajun', it's a pronunciation that led to the adjusted spelling.
