I'm sure the Louisiana guys will all appreciate this story out of Lafayette where they have established a pair of double-wide trailers as their "recruiting zone" and even sold the naming rights to the place for $150k!


The facility includes two redesigned, air-conditioned double-wide trailers that provide four large meeting rooms, as well as a covered outdoor pavilion for meetings, cooking or entertainment options when hosting recruits.

"It's very nice," said Hebert, who said the area is primarily for football, but will also be available for other sports as well. "This is an area that's going to be valuable for a long time."

Always looking at the future, Hebert also discussed that the Bob Fournet Recruiting Zone is just the latest upgrade in the Cajuns' football program, but certainly not the last.

FYI - here's a look at future phases of the project (from the La Tech message board (http://latechbbb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78392) - plenty of GREAT laughs)...couldn't remember which, but I think TXST or Lamar was looking into a similar project. ;)

Doesn't that look like something a redneck hamster would have? I've been a firefighter for several years and there is a trailer park on the outskirts of our area that has "double talls" which is basically two single wide trailers on top of each other, haha. Really weird looking.

Any place you have to cross a 26 mile bridge to get to warrants further inspection.
