This is no different from Arkansas playing at ULM in Little Rock. Tech is to Grambling as Arkansas is to ULM.
Nobody will see this as a road game for Tech since we've played 70 "home" games at Independence Stadium.
No big deal.
OK No big deal.. Now we are comparing us to ULM...I give up...
Grambling has had a bigger opponent than tech travel to Shreveport to be a visiting team.
No matter who Tech plays in Shreveport, at least it is not at Nebraska, Michigan State, B.F.E., etc... at least it is not a road game and some far fetched university a long way away where only a few can attend. It is a football game that is about 1 hour away from campus.
Did I mention that it is a football game? and that Tech fans can actually attend in mass....
Because none of them will pay us to play at a Neutral Site (pretty much a home game except on the stat sheet)
That's the only way we're an away team to any in-state (except LSU) school. They have to pay.
ULM and ULL won't pay. They think we're equals or something like that.
Plus, Grambling has more football history than the UL-U-PickEm combined and will bring more fans to Shreve than the UL twins.
Couldn't agree more with Coach Mick. As far as which side we want to be on........Which side will have the bathrooms that are in full working order. That would be my choice. Remember the flooding at the Indy Bowl?? Not fun.
I wrote to the Leader about it. I am so glad that my wife didn't get sick. She was 10 months pregnant and several women helped her get in and out without getting nasty, but I was so worried. We will see if our disgust with that situation hit home with those who have the power to change it.
She was on the verge of giving birth, but still braved the game. She will tell you she was 10 months because it was like 38 weeks. Anyway, you get the point.
