11AM road game, early in the season, competent opponent, unfamiliar location...

I’m not one of those who is scared of Kansas State- we are much more talented and should win pretty handily... That said, the circumstances around that game don’t exactly make me comfortable.

Don’t think the game will be a walk in the park, but I think we will probably be OK.

I’m glad that the first two hone games are at night. We’ve been cursed with some brutal September day games in recent years.

I thought early starts were usually good for the road team. You usually have a smaller, less raucous home crowd at that time.

Good from a crowd standpoint- terrible from a scheduling/organizational standpoint. Ask any player or coach who has ever done an 11 AM road trip. There are a lot of variables that make it tough to get up and play well for those early road games.

So you would rather play in an unfamiliar road atmosphere at night?

Everyone hates at 11am game, it'll lighten the attendance along with toning down the atmosphere. Probably not a bad thing since we are at their house.

I'm just wondering why were are playing the game in NY. ***

What school is Louisiana? Lafayette or Monroe, or somewhere else?

 

[dickiedawg]

UL- Lafayette. They decided a few years back they just wanted to be called Louisiana.

UL- Lafayette. They decided a few years back they just wanted to be called Louisiana.

That's why they'll always be UL-Lafayette to me

 

[MaroonCrusader]

I really hope next year when we play the Cajuns in the dome that it will be a night game.

 

[tatedog]

They'll always be Southwestern Louisiana to me.

 

[oh yeah]

but its so much more fun to call them U La-la
