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.
What was up with the shark type teeth on the uniform shoulders??? Warhawks have teeth?????
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
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.
I sure hope Louisiana can beat UL-L again this year.
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?
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.

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.
