Are we not going to talk about going to Lafayette to take what is ours???
CC and UL were PAPER CHAMPS!
We are the last team to PLAY for and WIN the SBC!!!!

And we’ll do it again in Louisiana’s swamp this year.

BAD Mojo to talk about going to the championship game before we've locked it in....bad mojo....

Agree with Rick83 on this one

Once we win one more, we will talk about it. Right now, it's not guaranteed.

We were planning to talk about it if we take care of business. We got to beat Troy and really need to beat GSU or else this season will feel like a failure. Troy is the ONLY game we should talk about for now. 1-0!

Roger that
Win the week

looked up flights today...there is no cheap way to get to Lafayette.

If anyone finds a deal...please share.

American out of Charlotte direct to Lafayette (round trip) is about $400 which is the cheapest I've seen. Its such a small airport, flights out Sunday are scarce as well. I'd suggest booking earlier rather than later.

I hate to jinx this stuff and prefer to wait until we win if I were going to fly. However, I'll make the long drive. It is a long drive but for a game of that magnitude it is worth it.

Amtrak from anywhere from Greensboro to Gastonia (or start in Philly or even New York City) on the southbound Crescent will get you to New Orleans. The Sunset Limited will take you from New Orleans to Lafayette, LA. The Sunset Limited does not run every day so scheduling would be problematic, but it is doable.

More than anything I want to beat Troy to rob Georgia Southern of the opportunity to knock us out of the conference championship game

More than anything I want to see us win both.

How much to charter a bus to leave Friday and comeback on Sunday?

Seems like the city could make a case with Amtrak to run a special line that weekend.

Which is cheaper than two weekend hotel nights in Boone during the season.

If it were me, I'd just fly into NO and make a weekend out of it. Or fly into Baton Rouge.

In 1978, WCU stormed out to such a large lead in the SoCon they had to win only one of their last threes games to clinch. They lost all three including the last one to App by a huge margin.
No need to be thinking about the Belt Championship game until we have earned being there. Beat Troy; 1-0 this week.

Never look ahead. 100% with you there. People are debating stuff 5-6 weeks ago that now are not within reach because of their team's play. Can't take any team for granted and my only concern is beating Troy right now. 1-0 this week and then focus on Georgia Southern. I want to tack on 40-50 this week and make a huge statement win against Troy more than anything right now.

I get not wanting to jinx it, but strictly from a financial standpoint, if you bought plane tickets to LFT last week it was $100 per ticket cheaper. For a family of 4 that's not peanuts. I'd venture a guess it won't get any better going forward.
