I'll be at this game.

Not expecting a massive turn out for the "Battle of Redbirds" as many are still in a "wait and see mode" on Lamar athletics in general. However, no massive marquee TV matchups in the time slot (3:00) of this game.  It would be nice to see Lamar's crowd hit or exceed an attendance of 7000.  Haven't hit 6000 for a home game this year with 5321 being the highest home total according to ESPN. 

For those goofy (me) enough to track things like this, 5000 plus for FCS games is actually a decent number. Now, is Lamar drawing that many or is that tickets sold with large no show numbers???

Extremely tough matchup on paper, but UIW really struggled against McNeese last week. Had to have a huge comeback in the 2nd half to remain unbeaten in conference.  Winner today will stand with Nicholls as the only unbeaten teams in conference as Nicholls hosts an out of conference game. 

Go Cards... the ones from the Golden Triangle.

LU falls 17-7. Two empty red zone trips, but also UIW nearly doubled Lamar with 459 total yards to 248.    Overall a decent showing against a highly ranked team.
