We've got spirit, yes we do - how bout you?
If you are a Ragin' Cajun fan, odds are you're aware it's Homecoming week - who can deny all the spirit flowing from local businesses that have painted the town red or the sparkles of glitter in the air as sororities wrap up construction of parade floats.
