Homecoming tilt on tap: ESPNU will televise the Louisiana Tech-LSU football game Nov. 14. Kickoff for the game, which is the Tigers’ homecoming contest, is set for 6 p.m. This will be third LSU game to air on ESPNU this season, following the home opener against Vanderbilt and the game with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game will air on CBS at 2:30 p.m.
Purchases ‘exceed expectations’: Officials with Cox say the number of people who purchased the Tulane-LSU football game on pay-per-view “exceeded expectations.” Ann Ruble, a Cox spokeswoman, wouldn’t give an exact number of people who bought the game through TigerVision, but says there were 20% more purchases than expected. “There were a lot of last-minute impulse purchases,” Ruble says. She credited the activity on a number of factors, including the number of fans who were at home for Halloween and that the game matched teams in two of Cox Louisiana’s markets: Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
