No TV for this game...we have capability to do webcasts but don't have it up and going yet...probably next year when we get our videoboard before we get it going.

If your AD is saying it's a done deal I believe it...just haven't heard anything on this end, and usually I would...I hope we do return the trip at some point because I feel it would be a great experience for our program.

Unless there's been an agreement recently for a return game beyond '09, I don't think that's correct.

No offense meant, but I get a chuckle when I read comments about football taking a backseat to hockey...not because there's anything wrong with that in your part of the country, but I bet you could randomly ask 1000 people around here what icing is and 100% would tell you it's what goes on top of a cake...in my 30 years of living in Louisiana, I can't recall once ever seeing a hockey score or highlight on the local news, other than when the ECHL had a couple of teams in the area...and even then it was novelty and most people went for the fights.

Just got back from our game with La Tech...outplayed them most of the night...we had 300 yards of offense in the first half alone...didn't have the ball much in the 2nd half but still moved it when we had it...essentially got beat on special teams and back to back fumbles to start second half...they had a punt return and blocked FG return for TDs...they scored 10 points off turnovers to start the third quarter...we moved it almost at will through the air...ran it well too but just didn't run it much...defense played well but gave up some big plays...very physical game...slobberknockers all over the place...no serious injuries but we're banged up...so is La Tech. Look forward to hosting the Sioux next week...should be a good one.

Yeah but we have humidity...hasn't been bad the last couple of days though...never know what it'll be like next weekend... Watched most of the game...nice win by the Sioux...first, we have La Tech Saturday, but look forward to hosting you guys next weekend...have a safe trip down.

No offense taken, but I can tell you flat out, that perception is B.S...not saying there are bunches of unranked teams who could make a Chattanooga run were they to make the playoffs, but there are quite a few programs out there who are plenty talented enough to compete with, and/or beat, teams in the Top 25...just because they don't win enough games overall, and finish out of the mix, doesn't mean they aren't capable or dangerous. I don't think there's any question that upper level D-IIs can compete favorably in FCS, but by the same token, I also think there are middle of the road FCS teams who can compete with upper tier D-IIs...it kinda goes both ways in that regard. In our particular case, we're a young program that is building, and have had three very good recruiting classes in a row...we're still young and have some class balance issues, but we're very talented...in my opinion, we're a year away, but we're vastly improved over last couple of years. Looking forward to our game in a couple of weeks...should be a good one in Strawberry Stadium!!!

We're a lot better than you apparently think...should have won by at least a couple of TDs last night but had two TDs called back, including one that would have put us up by 21 with seven minutes to play...had 10 penalties overall which wiped out a lot of offense for us...the South Dakota QB made some big plays which kept them in it and was every bit as good as advertised...credit to them for hanging around and making it interesting late...they're a good offensive football team with a difference maker under center.

For those interested, here's a link to our 2008 Season Preview Show...just click on the video player window on the top right corner that says, The Big Game... http://www2.selu.edu/thesoutheasternchanne...ams/theBigGame/

You also have the right to believe or claim that 2+2=5, or that the sun rises in the west, but you would be factually incorrect...the same as you would be by saying FCS or I-AA is not D-I.

Has nothing to do with inferiority complex. The impetus behind the change had more to do clearing up confusion between I-AA and D-II and some of the biggest proponents of the change were coaches of other sports, such as basketball and baseball. I can't count how many times we had basketball or baseball recruits say they were under the impression we were D-II because our football program was classified with two As. I'd much prefer something like I-B (Division I Bowl) and I-P (Division I Playoff) as opposed to FCS and FBS which is more confusing.

Press box/Club suite addition is coming along nicely...should be ready by the time USD comes to town on September 13, and will definitely be operational for when you guys visit two weeks later. Here's a link that shows the progress... http://www.anygivensaturday.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42601

Here's a link to some pics of Strawberry Stadium. It's small by FCS standards (7,500 permanent, just under 10,000 with temp bleachers in endzones) but an excellent place to watch a football game. The stands are steep and close to the field so you feel like you're right on top of the action. Pics are updated throughout the thread. http://forums.delphiforums.com/southeaster...ssages/?msg=8.1

Hello Sioux fans...there's a long hot summer to go, and then some, before you guys make your way south to play us on September 27th, but thought I'd start a thread to stir up some conversation as we pass the time away. I know this will be your first year as a member of Division I but we have a great deal of respect for your program and realize we'll have to be at the top of our game to have a chance to win. Not sure how much any of you know about our school, our program or where we're located but if anyone's bored, here are some links for those interested in learning more. Hopefully you guys will bring a good following and have a good time in south Lousiana. It'll still be Hurricane season in late September, but hopefully we don't have a repeat of 2005 or anything remotely close to it.

Sounds like you're in the Pensacola area...a hop, skip and a jump from Hammond. I have several good friends who live there...we go to the beach there all the time.

Looking forward to it. How far away from Hammond do you live?

In the case of Southeastern Louisiana, the answer is yes. It's a one game deal. Have no idea what McNeese is doing next year.

You guys are coming to Hammond, La. on September 27th. It's done deal as far as I know. And not to sound too nitpicky, but it's Southeastern Louisiana.

The info I got sounded pretty solid, but I'm not 100% certain.

The game is definitely in Hammond next year.

Barring a change over the last couple of weeks, the game is definitely in Hammond from everything I was told. We have both UND and USD coming to our place.
