Football: Hudspeth wants true whiteout 10/21/12

Tim Buckley, The Advertiser, October 21, 2012

Before most UL home football games, Ragin’ Ca­juns coach Mark Hudspeth puts out a call to any and all Cajun fans. Tuesday night’s ESPN2 ­televised meeting with Arkansas State is no excep­tion .

“ We need this game slam-packed,” he said.

The difference for this one, though, is that UL is billing it as a “Whiteout Game” — with all specta­tors asked to keep one color as they make that pregame reach into the closet.

“What you’re really try­ing to do when you do with a whiteout game,” Hud­speth said, “is you’re try­ing to show unity between the community, between the fans, between the stu­dent body and the football team and everybody asso­ciated. “That’s why it’s so im­portant this week,” he added, “that fans have that white Ragin’ Cajun gear out.”
