we usually end up with the wac scheduling our most attractive home games (i.e. boise state in 2005) during thanksgiving break...at least we have a schedule this year that people, students especially, can attend. if we can beat central arkansas in game one and we can't attract 25,000 for hawaii, then shame on our fans. we can complain all we want about oakes and poor marketing (and i agree it has been poor), but show up!

RUSTON — Louisiana Tech’s 2007 football schedule, officially released Thursday, features six games against bowl participants from a year ago

I'm guessing/hoping the NMSU game will be Homecoming and not Boise the next week!
Here's a printer friendly format of the schedule...
I still don't understand how we have to string so many road games together.
until we start playing more than 5 home games then we will have to play more away games in a row

nice lsu gear ad on our schedule write up...:angry:
Will this be the year that we finally beat Hawaii???
We beat Hawaii last time they were in Ruston. To beat them or New Mexico St. this year, we'll need some HUGE improvements in our defensive backfield.Quote:

I hope Coach Dooley creates enough disipline in his team to withstand yet another uphill battle to get into a bowl.

San Jose game on the first weekend of the Quarter break. I guess just one game is better than two of the quarter break, but no games would be the best (I am the master of the obvious).
Oct. 27: at Utah State
Nov. 3: at Idaho
Nov. 10: at LSU
Too bad we couldn't have one of those two open dates the week before LSU.
We absolutely CRUSHED Hawaii (1-4 record) in 2005 (46-14) in Ruston and shut them out in the 2nd half of that game. Tech ran the ball for 327 yards to keep Hawaii's passing offense sidelined. Tech also passed for 150 yards in '05.Quote:

I think we can turn it around this year just like Hawaii (and San Jose, and Idaho, and...) did. Keeping the Hawaii offense on the sidelines is again the key in 2007. We should be able to do this with our new coach's confidence and winning attitude, improved defense, improved rushing game, and home field advantage.
