This is NOT a Red Out game. But, not that it really matters. We've lost the momentum we had building to "Get your blue on!" and get out to Aillet. I'm guessing but there'll be about 25% of our fans in blue tonite, some in other Tech colors, or related colors, and half wearing whatever!
The most important thing is to show up and be loud for the Dawgs! But since you have to wear something....why not blue!?
Late money going on UAB. Line has moved from Tech -9.5 to -8.5. I didn't expect that
At least we will have a different white hat than last year's game in Birmingham. Justin Elliott is working the ODU at FAU game.
That probably leaves us with either Jon Noli or Daniel Gautreaux, but Steve LaMantia is also possible (worked the Tech at USA opener). Rodney Burnette worked MT at Marshall last night, and the other two (Ken Antee and Billy Williams) worked Tech and UAB games last week.
Rain is about 20 miles south of Ruston moving north.
Dancy is a game-time decision as discussed on the pregame show.
Looks like the worst of the weather is missing Ruston to the west.
