Re: 2017 Football Schedule
This year is a chance to test my theory about not opening on the road with a body bag game and attendance. Because it's the first game NSU should be well attended. I would estimate 24-26K. Then with a win and playing a very winnable game against MSU the attendance should be closer to 28K. Can't wait and hope to be at the MSU game (I was there when we beat them last).
Re: 2017 Football Schedule
NSU is expecting to win. I told a Demon supporter the other day last time we had 5 turnovers and...and before I could finish my sentence he went off with "Excuses! we kicked your puppy-dog asses last time, and we'll do it again."
I know what we're capable of doing if we show up. But, we didn't show up last time.
I expect us to smack the lil demons, and then I expect us to beat Moo State too. But, that's up to our coaches and players.

A 3-pt win on a last second FG is not an ass kicking. It's an escape.
Credit to the Demons for capitalizing on Tech mistakes, but 3 points does not an ass kicking make.

It feels like it when you are favored by 21+.
Re: 2017 Football Schedule
Old news, but the article below is confirmation of what we're paying Southern (375K) and Grambling (300K) to open our 2018 and 2019 seasons respectively in Ruston.

It also feels like it when you live in Natchitoches, everyone knows you are a LA TECH fan, and they kid you about the loss for a year afterward.

Fixed it for you (I take it they are still bringing it up now, esp. with the game this year), though it may be decades for you, as they may not win again ;)

Re: 2017 Football Schedule
Unbelievable, but I don't think our WKU game will be televised. beIN Sports will most likely take UNC at ODU instead.
Re: 2017 Football Schedule
C-USA Controlled Games not on CBS/ESPN
This is what C-USA had last year.
beIN had 10 games
STADIUM OTA 15 GAMES (FKA ASN) games normally start at 11, 2:30, 6 pm
STADIUM ONLINE 6 GAMES (FKA CAMPUS INSIDERS)
ESPN3 10 games - added some extra games
Projections - I haven't really put a lot of thought into these - just looked at schedule on guessed what TV execs would want. There is some LA Tech bias in here.
