LAFAYETTE — This isn’t actual news, but considering the reaction to Louisiana-Lafayette football coach Mark Hudspeth’s tweet on April Fool’s Day, some wish it was.
Hudspeth tweeted a picture from his personal account (@ULCoachHud) of a “new” helmet design for his football team featuring a black crawfish on a red helmet.
Hudspeth’s tweet included the text: “New home game helmets released at press conference today! #swag”
Of course, there was no press conference, and the helmet isn’t real.
The Cajuns weren’t the only school to join in the April Fool’s fun. Oregon disseminated a story that it would be installing an LED football field at Autzen Stadium.
