I really hope that

LaTech graduates a bunch of players. That game next year is going to be uncomfortably tough.

Fail to understand why we continue to play them in Ruston. Why not Shreveport instead. Or why not Starkvegas only

I was at the last time we played there. Was that the secret weapon game?

Is this a Ninja game or Stricklins?

Well ... I'm one who thinks home games should be played on campus, so no to Shreveport. When I was at MSU we played all our meaningful "home" games in Jackson, and that was terrible. But we as an SEC school shouldn't be traveling to Ruston to play a lower tier team like that, unless we get some sort of advantage out of it. And that could be how we're able to pull Louisiana recruits fairly regularly, like Dak and now Keytaon, and others.

We'll be fine

Agree that we should play home games on campus. Other than that, I couldn't care less that lower tier opponents play at their campus...doubtful that a game every ten years or so in Ruston is going to yield very many recruits for State

Simple economics. Playing these 2-for1s cuts our buy games by half. From 3 per year to 1.5. At about $1,000,000 each, that's significant. We'll play one of these road games in the years our P5 opponent is at home.
