A rivalry that began in 1910 will be renewed for the first time since 2015. Louisiana Tech will host its first Sun Belt Conference football game against UL Lafayette tomorrow night. Tech Athletic Director Ryan Ivey says they’re expecting more than 20-thousand fans, and he expects to see a lot of Cajuns fans making the trip to Ruston.
And now, the game has a little more at stake. Governor Landry has announced that Louisiana’s three Sun Belt schools – Louisiana Tech, UL Lafayette and ULM – will compete for the Governor’s Cup in football each year.
The cup will go to whichever team wins the regular season series among the three schools. Tech’s trip to ULM next week will be the second game in the series, and the Warhawks and Cajuns will cap off the race for the cup on November 12th.
