McNeese Homecoming Game This Saturday Oct 21 – Things To Know

The McNeese Cowboys are celebrating homecoming, and last night was the homecoming parade.  Now, all eyes are focused on tomorrow and the football game.

People are already parking their RVs and motor homes, and getting ready for tailgating.  It will be an all-day affair Saturday with tailgating, cooking, drinking, and live music.
