McNeese State will resume its football schedule Saturday, Oct. 8 against Texas Southern on the campus of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.
Kickoff will be 3 p.m. and there will be only one admission charge, $15 a ticket. Northwestern State will handle all game management.
The Cowboys are 1-1 on the season but have had three games canceled due to hurricanes, Katrina and Rita. Also, McNeese has not played a game since losing to Southern Mississippi 48-20 on Sept. 17. The team's victory has been a 23-20 decision over Georgia Southern. Games canceled have been those with Southern, Northwestern Oklahoma State and Southern Utah, all home outings.
Hurricane Rita forced the closure of McNeese which is expected to be closed for several more weeks. The Cowboys will relocate on the campus of Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond on Monday and will have their first practice on Tuesday.
"This game will allow our young men an opportunity to get in a contest before we begin conference play," McNeese athletic director Sonny Watkins said in announcing the game with Texas Southern. "We appreciate the help that Northwestern State has given us in making this game come about."
McNeese head coach Tommy Tate had a meeting with his coaching staff on Saturday and he and all Cowboy personnel will leave at 1 p.m. on Monday for Hammond.
"We are thankful of the opportunity to get our season going again," Tate said. "We appreciate the support of Southeastern Louisiana, Northwestern State and Texas Southern in that respect."
The Cowboys will open Southland Conference play on Oct. 15 against Stephen F.Austin. The game was to have been a home outing for the Pokes but other arrangements are now being studied and will be announced soon.
