Labor Day weekend -- Let's start the NSU game hype!

[techdawg28]

My belief remains to be that we got caught looking ahead to #5 Auburn the next week. Skip won't let that happen again.

We will crush them.

The same Chris Moore who missed THREE chippy FGs the very next week and was awful on the season.

And then, NSU painted the score and "We wrecked Tech" on that big rock by the Student Center. There are hundreds of commemorative footballs with the score painted on them, on shelves, in trophy cases all over Natchitoches. Former NSU president Jim Henderson, who knows I'm a Tech guy, took his off the shelf and held it up asking, "You have one of these?" (he was mostly joking/teasing).

Demon Nation thinks it can (and some think it WILL) happen again. Most are quietly optimistic. Guarded in what they say. But, make no mistake about it, the prevailing attitude is another NSU win in Ruston.

One fellow who is actually very knowledgeable about CFB, and a HUGE NSU supporter, says he knows on paper Tech should win. But then, that was true in 2014 too. In '14 it was a month into the season. We had just smoked UNT in Denton on a Thursday night and had eight days rest and time to prepare for the NSU game. If anything, the on-paper thingy was even more on Tech's side then. Now, in '17 it's the season opener where both teams will be feeling their way around. New personnel, new team leaders. And, lots of upsets happen on opening day....like Appy State shocking Michigan that year.

I have no control over these events. It's not up to me....

That is EXACTLY what I'm hearing in Natchitoches..

The Southland Conference is certainly getting the word out that NSU won at Louisiana Tech the last time they played us in Ruston.

You just got the word out . . . .






PS--Me too. We must not let current history repeat itself.

According to DS65 - skip was commenting on the radio that week that he was looking for to get some younger players some PT. He won't be doing that again (publicly)

LA Tech 41 - NSU 14

La Tech 31 - NSU 21

A very so-so start to our season. Our offense will take a few games to get in sync, but they'll have gotten it together by the time our conference games begin.

55-17 Tech. And it won't be that close.

[Dixonfor6]

We just hit big play after big play on them. Simple plays turn into big gains. Athletes are that much better--and even better than in 2014.

Dogs overlook a FCS opponent, come out flat, go through the motions, generally fart around for 3 1/2 quarters.

Scrappy Demons play like they've got nothing to lose, give it their Superbowl effort, keep it close, force overtime.

Demon defenders pick off a wobbly duck pass heaved into the endzone. Ballgame.

Tech 33, NSU 36 (OT)

Why do I think you're right?

I'd love to be wrong.

Everybody blames the defense even though special teams gave up 2 TDs

JK. I saw pics of COYHCSH coaching special teams so we should be good again.
