Cowboys

The McNeese State Cowboys broke out the brooms at home this weekend. The sweep of Incarnate Word left the Cowboys just two games behind league leader Nicholls State.

The Cowboys are proving to be a force on the diamond this season. They just complete their first Southland Conference sweep of the season.

Usually a new head coach means an adjustment period. By "adjustment period" I mean a losing season or two. The exact opposite is what's happening with Justin Hill and the McNeese Baseball team so far this year.

The Cowboys are almost a lock for the playoffs. It will be their first playoff appearance since 2009. They take on the Lamar Cardinals this Saturday and Sunday the playoff pairings will be announced.

The McNeese Cowboys have one more regular season football game left. The Pokes travel to Beaumont Saturday to take on the Lamar Cardinals. It should be an easy win for the Cowboys and set the team up for a home p[layoff game. tickets for that playoff game can be reserved now.

The #9 ranked Cowboys (8-2) are looking for two wins to seal a playoff spot. They'll get a chance at the first one Saturday at Cowboy Stadium against Northwestern (5-5).

The majority of football fans in the lake area are Saints fans; but there are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans here also. This weeks Saints vs. Cowboys game will pit them against each other in a game that will be nationally televised.

When you beat the number two team in the nations; you can expect a nice jump in the polls. Last Week the Cowboys took on number two Sam Houston State and beat them 31-23. This week's poll jumps are impressive.

The McNeese Cowboys are 5-1 on the season and coming home for a huge conference game against Sam Houston State on October 19th. It's the Poke's homecoming game and this years theme is "Cowboy Strong." Homecoming events start on the 12th and we have the schedule for you.

So you did not brave the rain to go see the Pokes play last Saturday night and you've been kicking yourself for missing the game. Well stop the self abuse, pop some popcorn or put some wings on, then turn on your TV at six-thirty tonight.

The last time the McNeese Cowboys won their first four games they went on to an undefeated regular season. Could they do it again? The 4-0 start this year has moved the Cowboys into the top ten in both the Sports Network and FCS Coaches Poll.

The Weber State Wildcats don't even care that the forecast for Saturday's game against McNeese calls for a 100% chance of rain. They are just happy not to be playing in Utah again.
