The 2015 edition of the McNeese Cowboys will be gunning for their fifth perfect season on Saturday night when they renew the "Battle of the Border" with the Lamar Cardinals in Beaumont.
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).
You have to love a weekend when all of our teams win. A win by the Tigers, Cowboys and Saints is the best way to start any week. Then add to that a day off at Thanksgiving and the week looks even better.
It has been a frustrating year for the Pokes. They were close in all but one of their losses. There is one game left and it could make us feel a little better because it is against arch rival Lamar! We have free tickets!
McNeese is 6-4 on the season and 3-3 in the Southland Conference...
