OF PEOPLE LIKE SITTING THERE IS

THERE IS GETTING A FOOTBALL

TEAM WELL WHERE I MEAN YOU WERE

KNOWN FOR THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT

,THE ARTS USUALLY A MEDICAL

AMAZING MEDICAL SCHOOL AND WHAT

MADE YOU DECIDE THAT WE NEED TO

BRING OUR FOOTBALL TEAM TO

SITTING VERY WELL LIKE YOU

MENTIONED EARLIER LIKE MOST

SMALL COLLEGES, YOU KNOW WE'RE

ALL LOOKING TO ADVANCE

OURSELVES, GROW ENROLLMENT,

IMPROVE OUR STATUS IN OUR OWN

COMMUNITIES WE DID DID A

THIRTEEN MONTH LONG FOOTBALL

FEASIBILITY STUDY TO TRY TO

CONVINCE OURSELVES NOT DRINK

BRING FOOTBALL TO SITTING AREA

SO WHAT IT TOLD US THAT WE

NEEDED TO NEEDED TO BRING

FOOTBALL TO SITTING AREA BUT

ALSO AS A PLANET HERE IN

SHREVEPORT BACK IN NINETEEN

NINETY TWO AS A STUDENT ATHLETE

AT CENTER IN COLLEGE DALLAS

TEXAS.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE

COMMUNITY BUT I LEARNED THE

COMMUNITY COMMUNITY AND ONE

THING WE TALK A LOT ABOUT IS

YOUR AUDIENCE AND NOT HAVING A

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM IN

NORTHWEST LOUISIANA IN OUR

CORRIDOR IT REALLY MADE SENSE

YOU KNOW YOU GO TO GO TO ANY

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME, IT'S

PACKED RIGHT?

RIGHT LET'S LET'S BRING ONE TO

THE COLLEGE LEVEL TO THE CITY

AND MADE A LOT OF SENSE TO DO

SO.

WHAT'S THAT GOING TO LOOK LIKE

IN THE MIDDLE OF OFF TO THIS

JUST OFF DOWNTOWN SHREVEPORT IS

IT GOING TO BE ON THE CAMPUS OR

ARE YOU GOING TO UTILIZE

ANOTHER FACILITY THAT WAS A

DEBATE AT FIRST BECAUSE WE WANT

TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING AND SEE

BUT WE WANTED TO HAVE IT ON

CAMPUS THAT WAS THE

DETERMINATION WAS LET'S PUT

THIS ON CAMPUS LET'S PUT IT

RIGHT THERE JUST JUST SOUTH A

DOWNTOWN SHREVEPORT IN THE

HARDEST REPORT SO TO SPEAK ALSO

TO GALVANIZE THE SPIRIT AMONG

ARE SITTING AROUND CAMPUS AS

WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO

BRING FOLKS FROM OFF CAMPUS ON

THE CAMPUS CENTER IS A

WONDERFUL PLACE NOT ONLY IS IT

A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS BUT IT'S GOT

WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND WHAT A

GREAT WAY TO TRY TO BLEND BOTH

WHAT WE FEEL WE DO REALLY WELL

AND PRESENT THAT OUT TO THE BUT

MORE IMPORTANTLY ASKING THE

COMMUNITY ON OUR CAMPUS AND

HELP US WE SAY A LOT OF TIMES

IN OUR DEPARTMENT SHARING A

BRAIN.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOUR CULTURE

SHARE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND

WE'RE GOING TO BE BETTER WHICH

SHREVEPORT IS BETTER AND

HOPEFULLY QYREPORTS BETTER WHEN

SETTING IS BETTER BUT AND BUT

AND THAT'S SUCH A GREAT I THINK

THAT'S A SLAM DUNK IDEA TO STAY

ON CAMPUS.

I MEAN YOU LOOK AT A PLACE LIKE

INDEPENDENT STADIUM.

IT'S A GREAT FACILITY GREAT

FACILITY BUT IT'S IT'S HUGE AND

THAT FIRST SCRIMMAGE YOU GUYS

HAD AGAINST YOU THE ATMOSPHERE

WITH THAT SMALLER VENUE.

I MEAN IT WAS PACKED AND WAS

LOUD AND IT WAS ROWDY AND YOU

COULD FEEL THAT EXCITEMENT I

THINK THAT GETS DROWNED OUT A

LITTLE BIT IN THAT BIG STADIUM

AND INDEPENDENCE MANDO YOU'VE

GOT PLENTY OF GAMES THERE SO

YEAH I'M LOVING THAT AND

ANOTHER THING I'M LOVING WHEN

LOVING WHEN YOU LOOK AT YOUR

ROSTER I MEAN IT'S LOCAL KIDS

ALL THE WAY THROUGH OUT I THINK

YOU'VE MENTIONED THE HIGH

SCHOOL FOOTBALL THE POPULARITY

OF THAT THIS IS HOW YOU EXTEND

THAT.

SO ETB YOU LONG TRADITION

OF FOOTBALL MANY MANY YEARS

POWELL DURING THE SCRIMMAGE THE

SCRIMMAGE WE DID WELL WE DID

WELL YOU KNOW THERE WAS TO HAVE

STOOD SCRIMMAGE WE ACTUALLY WON

THE FIRST HALF OF THE IMAGE AND

WE LOST THE SECOND HALF BUT YOU

KNOW WE HAD A GAME GAME ON

THAT FOUNDATION AND YOU KNOW

I JUST WANT TO NIT PICK THE

OFFICIAL OFFICIAL ONE OF THE
