Louisiana Tech–Northwestern State football rivalry
American college football rivalry / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Louisiana Tech–Northwestern State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the Northwestern State Demons. The rivalry stems from the proximity of the two colleges, as well as the two teams sharing multiple conferences including the LIAA (1915–24), the SIAA (1928–38), the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference (1942–57), and the Gulf States Conference (1948–70). The Demons and the Bulldogs often met at the Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport, playing there annually from 1946 to 1987.[1] The game has been infrequently played since 1987, following Louisiana Tech's transition to the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision. No future matchups have been scheduled.
