McNeese fans up for the game

Not having been able to enjoy their own team for two weeks, one an open date and last weekend's cancellation due to Hurricane Ike, a couple of hundred McNeese fans are in the stands tonight.

The trademark cowbells were ringing for the Demons, or at least, that's how we choose to interpret it.

Also here are former Demon deep snapper and javelin thrower Tommy McClelland and his wife Jessica, two proud NSU alumni. Tommy, a member of the 2004 Southland Conference championship Demon football team, is now better known as the youngest Division I athletics director in the country. He's steering the ship at McNeese and aside from wanting to visit the alma mater and see some live college football, he is happy to be making the personal acquaintance of his counterpart at Cal Poly, Alison Cone. They have to eventually settle on a makeup date for the Mustangs' visit to Lake Charles.

The Cowboys go out to Cal Poly in 2010. The Demons head out to San Luis Obispo to open the 2009 season with a Sept. 5 game.
