Students spread Raginā€™ Cajun spirit on ESPN

Published

Football fans who tuned in to ESPN to watch the Ā鶹¹ū¶³“«Ć½ Raginā€™ Cajuns compete this fall were treated to some lagniappe.

The network aired a 30-second spot during the Cajunsā€™ televised games that features Ā鶹¹ū¶³“«Ć½ Lafayette students. After a casting call this summer, six students landed speaking roles: Brooks Haack, Charliese West, Cris Matochi, Morgan Meaux, Evan Melancon, and Alexandria Green. About a dozen ā€œextrasā€ got some screen time, too.

ā€œThe video captures who we are as a university. Engaging graphics and text make it stand apart from other university videos,ā€ said Aaron Martin, director of Communications and Marketing at the University. ā€œItā€™s a strong reflection of our brand, and the energy of our students.ā€

The University partnered with Holbrook Media and The Colony for filming and production assistance. Anyone who missed the ESPN broadcasts can watch the ā€œThis is Your Timeā€ spot at           admissions.louisiana.edu.
