It's in Shreveport... not Ruston.

There will be more Ags there, so not really a home game for La Tech.

First games can be tricky as we all have seen, but A&M should win this one by 2 TDs plus if they don't Aggy it up and turn the ball over a lot.

I'll be there. First time back in scenic Shreveport/Bossier City since the MSU "Snow Bowl"

I'll have some Country Tavern ribs on the way in, some cold mexican beers at Superior Grill, take a little money from the Horseshoe Casino, and A&M will do fine.

There is a ton of Tech alumni in the Shreveport area. You also have to remember that Tech's campus is a little over an hour from the stadium. Don't be surprised if the Tech fans outnumber the A&M fans. I think it will be much closer than most expect, but A&M pulls it off in the end.

I wouldn't be surprised if we lost. They were 8-4 last year and only lost to TCU by 24–31. La Tech has its ups and down, but they've fielded some scrappy squads over the years.

The offense is going to be awesome this year for Tech. If they will be able to stop anybody on defense is a different story though

Yea, I don't really understand why A&M wouldn't demand this be a home game

I'd be pretty surprised if we lost. I can definitely see it being very close through the 3rd quarter and possibly beyond, but the superior talent should eventually win out. I think we win it by at least 10-14 points if not more.

Yeah honestly i see it being close in the 4th closer than most think but I'd say A&M by a field goal

LA Tech ain't bad. They played State, Houston, Southern Miss and TCU all very close and could have beat all 4.

There are almost 20 times the number of A&M Former Students as there are Louisiana Tech alumni. Some of you don't truly grasp how large our student body is (45000+ since the 80's).

I would be.

Thanks for the analogy Utah State and Samford.
