Consistently, The Advocate newspaper here in Baton Rouge does one of the better jobs in the state of covering I-AA sports thanks, in part, to Southern University being located here in the city. But I have sound that the paper does a better job of covering the I-AA teams close to New Orleans better than the Times-Picayune newspaper located in New Orleans.

That being said, The Advocate released its 2006 Football Preview today with articles about every college team in the state (I-A, I-AA and D-III) as well as the Saints and most of the high schools districts in the state. Below are links to each of the stories related to I-AA teams:

Southern University:

The TP in NOLA leaves a great deal to be desired...especially when the Gambit Weekly puts it to shame...

I read the Advocate occasionally and have been more impressed with that fishwrap than any rag in NOLA...

That article on McNeese by Carl Dubois is a very accurate description of what McNeese went through last season.

Carl always does a good job.

:thumbsup: Too bad he's covering the university in Baton Rouge not named Southern. The Advocate does a great job covering I-AA while covering LSU, high schools and the Saints.

By FAR better than any other papers I have seen in the state.
