Chief Caddo on ESPN again!

This time, it was on the ESPN College Football Live 50 States feature segment Monday afternoon. We're waiting to have the entire segment posted on ESPN.com ... but this we know:

The Chief Caddo tradition was spotlighted as one of the top five college football storylines in Louisiana college football

The announcer butchered the pronunciation of Caddo (CAY-dough, he said).

Grambling's legendary coach, Eddie Robinson, was the top story. LSU football and Tulane's unbeaten season in 1984 were also on the list.

Got a text from Lady Demon volleyball coach Brittany Uffelman, and a call from tailgating chef extraordinaire and former Athletic Association vice president David Stamey, within two minutes of each other in the 5 o'clock hour Monday, passing along word of the segment.

More when we can provide it!
