Well said and true. This is a big game because its the next game. Its a big game because we are 0-2, and its a big game because we are playing our neighbors to the west, fellow louisianians all (well most, but Texas is a whole 'nuther country so we count them as international students). Its good for us and them financially and, well, it will be an absolute hoot to be there for tailgaiting and the game. The Pokes know how to support their team and they will be here "en masse". We will be raining red as well, you can bet your last dime on that. Having said that, I will add that this game would be huge to lose but just so-so to win for the overall prospects of our team, in context of the SBC and our season. I'll bet that's how State feels when we or any other 1A in-state school plays in BR.
I have to admit, I remember the old days and the old rivalry, and I am sorry to say to some small extent, but I am fired up for this one... so let's deliver a ton of slobber-knockers, put this one in the "W" column and get ready for the SBC!!!
Geaux Rouge, Geaux Blanc!!!!!!
