Old friend/foe speaks to Demons Friday

Heading into the Southland Conference opener Saturday evening at 6 in Turpin Stadium, the Demon football team heard from an expert on SLC championships at the close of Friday afternoon's practice.

Retired coach Bobby Keasler, who steered McNeese to a fistful of SLC titles in the 1990s, probably rode his beloved Harley to Natchitoches to try to give one of his favorite former assistant coaches a hand.

Keasler came at the invitation of Demon head coach Scott Stoker, an assistant under Keasler at McNeese from 1994-98 before Keasler took the head job at Louisiana-Monroe.

Keasler also had Demons' assistant head coach Johnny Nagle on his McNeese staff.

Friday, the New Iberia native no doubt had some choice words of inspiration for the Demons.
