May 16, 2008Colonels head football Jay Thomas announced Nicholls’ 2008 football schedule Thursday afternoon.
The Colonels will play five home and five away games this season. As of now, they do not have an opponent for the scheduled August 31 home opener. They anticipate having a deal
in place in the coming weeks. The game could be moved to Thursday August 29 at 6:30
p.m. but that is to be determined.
The non-conference schedule includes trips to Football Bowl Subdivision schools New Mexico State (Nov. 6) and Memphis (Nov. 20). Sandwiched between is a home game with Football Championship Subdivision school Bowie State (Nov. 13).
“We are excited about our upcoming season; we have a balanced non-conference schedule that will better prepare us for conference,” said Thomas. “The Southland gets tougher and tougher every year, and each one of our non-conference games will pose a different challenge for us.”
After a two-week break, Nicholls gets into seven straight Saturdays of Southland Conference action.
The trek begins at Northwestern St. October 11 and ends November 22 versus Southeastern.
The October 18 home against Stephen F. Austin will be on Family Day. The game against Central Arkansas is designated being as homecoming.
