IT'S SHOWTIME: Grambling, ULM game fraught with expectations

Monroe, LA - Grambling coach Doug Williams said he's not a fan of playing this game. ULM coach Todd Berry said he and his team are excited to play, but acknowleged the pressures that the program and the university are under to put on a good "event."

These are just some of the questions that are surrounding Grambling's and ULM's second meeting in school history.

"We really don't have an advantage going to ULM," Williams said. "Eddie Robinson felt like he never had anything to gain by playing Louisiana Tech, (ULM) or LSU, and that's when we could compete with anybody in the country. ULM is an (FBS) school now with more scholarships."

But with all the hullabaloo of game week now over, it comes down to Saturday's 6 p.m. kickoff in Malone Stadium.
