LaMon scored 33 points against a ranked team.
Ours might be bad at times being located in such a sparely populated area of N. La but not totally minuscule like the JUCO’s located in larger Monroe proper with a legit airport as well.

We have access to the same market LaMon has access to. We have many more graduates in the region. Factor N/W La in and we are way ahead in potential market.
The Airport excuse is just silly. Means nothing and has never been a negative other than as a talking point excuse for our leadership.

Depends on which logo they are going with. In reference to "the nest" no teeth. In reference to the P40 Warhawk, they have teeth.

It's just like that war eagle/tiger thing? Or, the elephant/tide thing? Only this variety plays bad football.
Re: A sleeping giant is finally waking up
War Eagle/Tiger is not thing...
War Eagle is a battle cry not a mascot.
Tiger is a mascot and they are also known as Plainsmen

I'm pretty sure they've got an eagle. But way to miss the point!
PLAYS BAD FOOTBALL
Re: A sleeping giant is finally waking up
Yes I got your point, but the Auburn thing has always bugged me.
They have an eagle as part of their game day tradition. It is not a mascot. Probably the coolest think I've ever seen at a game.

You sure know how to ruin a good dig!
Re: A sleeping giant is finally waking up
I sure hope Louisiana can beat UL-L again this year.
Re: A sleeping giant is finally waking up
Appy State 52 the nlu Chickenhawks aka Sleepy Giants 7
I know Appy State is good, but shouldn't a supposed "awakening" Giant be able to compete? Supermel, can you explain this?
Re: A sleeping giant is finally waking up
App St is indeed a sleeping giant. There are quite a few legit candidates for top G5 spot this year.

It's not even Halloween.
Tech is Bowl Eligible.

Boazy State lost to BYU last night. They were ranked 16th, should drop. More than likely the coveted NY6 slot will go to an AAC team. Maybe SMU! They smoked a good Temple team yesterday. They have Memphis, Navy, and Tulane left. Going 12-0 will position SMU in a position to garner that NY6 invite. Cincy will have something to say about this before it is done.
As for Appy State, IF they too should run the table to finish 12-0 and probably ranked around 16th or so, they have a shot. To finish 12-0 will mean beating South Carolina... tough task. And, even with that win unless they get a lot of help, I doubt they'll be ranked high enough to garner the slot. But...I hope they do get it and I hope it embarrasses the hell out of CUSA.
AND! I will point out I advocated, and still do, for CUSA to pursue Appy State. I was in favor of that over the inclusion of Charlotte and ODU. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what CUSA can offer Appy State to get them to leave the Belch.
