McNeese State added to '06 Football Schedule

[McTailGator]

Tennessee Tech   21-7

Nicholls State

27-17

Just a couple of reminders that those "whipping boys" can put up more of a fight than expected.

And Typically Nicholls is our "Whipping Boys".

They are a top 1AA program ... they are in Katrina's wake and it seems they may be down in 2006 according to Doc.

With the 2 teams we open with, hopefully we can get enough playing time for Matt & C.Hill.

Actually,

Katrina was very nice to us...  That's the MEDIA's Hurricane.

It was Hurricane RITA that kicked our @$$es.

We lost 2 scheduled home games, several light poles, a field house, and our practice facilities while FEMA camped out.

My memory's a little fuzzy but I kind of remember the UT Spartans playing them way back when .... or a similar name.

Are you refering to the University of Tampa?

If so, we have played Tampa in the past.

In fact, the University of Tampa played the inaugrual game in Cowboy Stadium in the 1960's.

UT Spartans?????

Doc

Doc,

They may be talking about the University of Tampa.

They and McNeese played the first ever game in Cowboy Stadium back in the 60's.

I was at the game in '95 (use to live in Louisiana).

That '95 McNeese Team is still one of the best all-around teams I've ever seen play.

The week before that game...UCF played at #1 FSU...and did ok.

The next week...UCF played at #1 Div I-AA McNeese and got totally dominated...it wasn't even close.

McNeese had a very good QB (believe he went on to play in the Canadian Football League) and had a very quick defense.

I think McNeese lost in the semi-finals or finals that year in Div I-AA.

Fans in/around Lake Charles, LA like their Cowboy Football!!

You remember well.

That QB was about 3 inches too short to play QB in the NFL (or so they say).  He did play two years for the Bengals and in NFL Europe as a QB, and then played for 4 or 5 years as a safety in Seattle.

He has been lighting up the CFL as a QB again and is expected to sign an NFL contract this year and try to pull a Warren Moon.

BTW, McNeese lost in the Semi's to Marshall that year after going 13-0 prior to that game.

The Sargin ratings had us ranked as the 36th D-I football program that year and our average margin of victory was 38-9.

The Univ. of Tampa (UT) was 2-5-1 against McNeese St., last playing in 1965.

It's great having the McNeese Cowboys representing !

Seeing more action from them for our opener than NC St. for the bowl.

Go BULLS !!!
