With a lack of consistency In New Orleans, at LSU and McNeese; there has been little to cheer about during this year's football season. The same thing can not be said across the Sabine River where the Cardinals have had a great season and last night capped it off with a road victory over our Cowboys in Lake Charles.
Northwestern must hate to play the McNeese State Cowboys. The Pokes put together a 35 point first half last night and held on to beat the Demons for the 10th straight time.
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).
Texas A&M were set to welcome the McNeese Cowboys for their home opener on Aug. 30, but word broke Wednesday that the Aggies have broken that contract to play Louisiana Tech instead. The move has left McNeese scrambling to fill the hole in their schedule and could put the Cowboys facing off against a conference rival twice in the same season.
The Cowboys are looking to get on the winning ways and secure a spot in the Southland Conference tournament but they will have to go through Lamar first.
