1. Flood of emotion
Cajun Field should be in good shape on Saturday morning, but that's more than can be said about a lot of the surrounding area. Right around the time I was celebrating my birthday earlier in the month, more than 10 Louisiana rivers hit moderate, major, or record flood stages—devastating parts of the state and causing millions of dollars worth of damage. The Ragin' Cajuns themselves assisted the flood relief efforts and like it or not...this first big game after such a horrific event is sure to stir emotions in the players and locals.
