That humiliating loss has been mentioned by the Shreveport media most weeks for the last 3 years. It's NWST's only accomplishment in football over the last decade.
That game did more damage than most are willing to admit. Dawgpix has pix for every other home game for the rest of that season. Downplay it all you want, but we lost half our fan base for the remainder of the season after that embarrassment. I don't think we got 12K in Aillet Stadium after that.

Not much of one...
We were 2-3 when we beat UTEP in front of an announced crowed of 18,157. Then beat UTSA in front of an announced crowd of 18,071, had an announced HC crowd of 20,011 vs UTEP, then wrapped up on Thanksgiving weekend with school out in front of an announced crowd of 18,029. We had given the game away to ODU the week before.
No way we had 18K at any of the remaining games other than HC.
WKU number seems about right to me.
Apparently some won't be taking the bus but will be running the 80 miles to present the game ball.

Northwestern State University’s chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity will present the third annual Game Ball Run to raise for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Members of the fraternity will physically run the game ball 80 miles from Natchitoches to Ruston for the Demons’ faceoff against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Sept. 2. More then 50 runners from the chapter will take turns running the ball, as well as a few special guests.
The run will begin with a send-off at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1 at the south entrance of Turpin Stadium with runners escorted by NSU Police. Once the ball reaches the Louisiana Tech campus, it will be handed over to Athletics officials prior to the 6 p.m. kick-off.
Will they hand it off to MD who will jump out of the plane amidst pre-game fireworks to enter the stadium? Isn't he a former PikeBoy?
