On the collegiate football playoff scene, the Southeastern Louisiana University Lions, the Southland Conference champions, will host their first ever NCAA Division I playoff game tomorrow night at Strawberry Stadium. The 10-2 Lions are hosting Southland Conference foe Sam Houston State in a 7 o'clock kickoff as fans are ready to 'Lion Up' for the hometown team in Hammond. SLU hosted a fan appreciation tailgate and pep rally Wednesday on campus as a way to say thank you to their loyal fans and to recognize the Lions' players for their successful endeavors to this point. The Lions, the No. 4 national seed, which drew a first-round bye, defeated Sam Houston State 34-21 back on Nov. 16 in Hammond and the team is hoping to duplicate that tomorrow night on their home field. The Bearkats outlasted Southern Utah 51-20 last Saturday to advance to tomorrow's second round game.
