I just hope we are not playing 5th & 6th grade football in BF Egypt that day...

The word out to the Jaguar Nation is that Ruston, Louisiana hotels have already started to jack-up rates for the Sept. 5th weekend. Just recently a Jaguar attempted to make reservations at an I-20 hotel and was quoted a price of $189.00 per night for a double room. Surely this is not a regular nightly rate in Ruston?
I am excited about this game, but I hope some aren't getting their hopes up too much for a huge SU contingency. Yes, they travel fairly well. ULL is a LOT closer than we are, though. Their band will take up a nice section and they should have a great crowd. The first game of the season and our new facility will get more Tech fans there, which is good. Any other time, I don't think Southern (or any FCS team) would draw a mega crowd.
Should be fun, though, and I expect much higher attendance than usual. Can't wait for football season!!!!!!!!
I fully expect an overflow of SU fans.
you know, kinda like, showing up rival GSU.

When you combine the number of Southern grads in Monroe/Shreveport + the curious Grambling fans that won't be able to see their team be the sacrificial lamb for Sonny D, you will likely see the Joe's attendance record fall, all things being equal. My room is already reserved in anticipation of price gouging.
