McNeese

_ It's not just us. In fact we're a bad example to use.

Just looking back over the last decade or so we've played NWSt., LaTex, Nichols St, McNeese and private school Tulane. We're playing State for the third time in 7 years and we have Southern coming in September.

All anyone needs to do is look at the ULM-Grambling game attendance. If the ULMers are going to play SWAC programs Alabama A&M, Alcorn and Texas Southern then why the heck not play Grambling and Southern?

If LaTex is going to play SLU and Nichols then why not play McNeese, NWSt. Grambling and yes even ULM? A LaTex-McNeese or Grambling game will outdraw the LaTex - Miss St. game. You can book that.

All of this is doable because of the 12th game the D1a programs got a couple of years ago.

Despite the not so subliminal message in Carl Dubois' article nobody has to leave their conference and we don't have to set up an "all Lousiana conference" blah blah blah.

Across the border So Miss ought to be regularly playing Ole Miss and Miss St. without joining the SEC. Ark St. and UCA ought to be playing Arkansas on a regular basis. This is happening in a lot of states and I doubt "the government" had anything to do with it. All it takes is a brain and some common sense.

Well that certainly leaves the government out of the equation. Brains / common sense and the government don't go together especially in Louisiana.

I know the feeling - one lege had a bill to allow persons to carry concealed weapons on college campuses. Can you imagine the crowd for a LState vs Auburn game "locked and loaded"?
