Idaho at Louisiana Attendance Prediction Thread

Not quite, but there will be many locals skipping the UL game because of all the LSU parties going on in the area Saturday evening.

cool story

The LSU/Bama game day atmosphere is one of the best in the country all year. It'll be an all day party that lots of UL/LSU fans opt to attend over a UL/Idaho matchup. That's just part of life for Cajun fans. My question is this. What brainiac thought it was a good idea to schedule UL's homecoming on the same day that LSU is hosting Alabama?

I seriously doubt the schedule makers were monitoring LSU's scheduling efforts to see when we should play homecoming while not conflicting with LSU's high profile games.

We had basically 2 options...Idaho or stAte and that's the weekend of thanksgiving.

If I'm not mistaken, we don't even schedule these games. Doesn't the league schedule the conference games?

Correct...we could have had homecoming in September,a midweek,or thanksgiving weekend...the only game that made sense was Idaho

[CajunEXPRESS]

Let's be honest, when homecoming was being considered nobody thought Idaho would be as much of a toss up game as it now appears to be. Only App State after a three week home stand was not a better option, and no way was stAte a better option.

When you aren't very good, it gets tough to guarantee homecoming will be a blowout.

At this point, a win by 1 point is blowout enough for me.

At this point, a win by 1 point is blowout enough for me.

But if we win the turnover battle on top of the 1 point blowout... SaaaaWEET!!!

Seriously... I'm so into the turnover battles when I watch football... I could care less about the score. How cool would it be if both schools turn the ball over on every single play... and we end up with the very last play for a field goal to win it. 3-0 on the scoreboard... and we win the turnover battle 33-32! One of the players is going to hang his head in shame, "Coach, I turned the ball over on every play... I suck"... and the coach will say, "Heck no son... we won the turnover battle... that's all that counts!". Woohoo... same time... same place next week!!!

I'm guessing the attendance will be 16,371.

attendance 20,000 plus me = 20,001

The same brainiac that thought it was ok to play Boise St at 1100. This is the first year we have made it this far in the schedule without a wet game and we blow it.

What was the official attendance?
