I'm in. FYI, I'm staying at the Hilton Garden Inn diagonally across from the ULL stadium. Anyone else staying there? Is that the team hotel?

I think my son and I are making the trip.

Not sure where we are staying yet, but the 4:00 homecoming start makes for an interesting dynamic.

In my mind, tailgating for lunch (not between lunch and dinner) is ideal.

I hope to see you boys/girls down there.

I don't mean to alarm anyone but if we beat LaLa, we (cue Darth Sidious voice) control our destiny to win the Belt and/or go bowling.

Say what you want about whether we deserve it or could pull it off, but that would be something to celebrate. Here's hoping for a win this week.

I'll be there with TylerMeanGreen...BEAT LaLa...Cajun Festival going on Saturday before the game as well. Don't try to celebrate a Mean green win at the festival after the game however, the festival website says it closes down at 7PM that Saturday evening...will open back up Sunday at about 11AM for those staying over...

....BUT...I never again want to hear about Cajun's being big music party folks and knowing how to have a great time...who the heck closes up a Cajun Music Festival at 7PM on a Saturday night for crying out loud? Party folks, my rear end!

BEAT LaLa...see you Saturday in Lafayette.

Hey Cajun.

Can you tell me the name of the group that sets up the big trailer with 4-5 food stations? I think they are at the SW corner of the stadium. Excellent food and hospitality.

As a matter of fact, when we went to Lafayette two years ago, we were asked to join in with at least 8 different tailgates....called by name: "Hey Mean Green, come over here and eat some food."

My favorite road trip now (except New Orleans).

To those Mean Green making the trip, a good friend recommended Cafe Des Amis in Breaux Bridge, La., just East of Lafayette. Here's the website: Cafe Des Amis My wife and I plan on eating lunch there Saturday.

Deep, I highly recommend you go straight to the tailgate (not that you know me to take my recommendation).

Two years ago, I took my kids to a fun little cajun joint out on the highway (Prejeans...really a tourist trap) for lunch. We ate a lot, toured the campus that includes the alligator swamp right in the middle and then went to the stadium around 3:00 pm. Had lots to do for the three hours before the game but I didn't enjoy the food that all these tailgaters offered as much because we ate so much for lunch.

I suggest you go eat with these good folks, and if you are hungry after the game, go get the good meal you describe above.

Skip Prejeans and head to Cafe Des Amis, it's only a few minutes down the road. They've got the best chicken and sausage gumbo I've ever had!

I understand. I did the same thing several years ago at a ULL game in Lafayette. The people are gracious enough to share their wonderful food at their tailgate. I'm trying to please Momma. You know the saying, "if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". But that's O.K. Who says I can't please Momma AND get in some good South Louisiana tailgatin' food? Like me, you just have to learn to pace yourself in these situations. The best of both worlds!!! :thumbsu:

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.

      ‘26 S Ricky Giles - SOC

      Appreciate the insight and agree about how we pick our HS recruits. the potential upside is that he apparently has a Purdue offer, so a solid Power gig thinks highly enough of him, too, to bring him in.
