John Bordelon had a very personal and a very specific reason for helping make possible a $1 million donation from his long-time employer Home Bank to the Louisiana Athletic Department's future renovation of Cajun Field.
Bordelon was a four-year Ragin' Cajun football letterman in 1973-76 and was a part of that program's improvement from 0-10 in his freshman year to the stunning and memorable 9-2 campaign in his senior season. That record – Louisiana's best since World War II and still the best until the runaway success of the last two seasons – was only a pipe dream when he joined the squad of legendary coach Russ Faulkinberry and quickly became familiar with Cajun Field's west side upper deck.
