Due to Hurricane Ike, officials at Louisiana-Monroe and Alabama A&M have pushed up the football game between ULM and AAMU to Friday (tonight) at 7:30 p.m. (CST) in Monroe, La.  The game was originally scheduled for Saturday at 6:00 p.m.

Officials at both schools earlier in the week had discussed the option of moving the game to Thursday night, however on Tuesday decided to still play the game on Saturday as Hurricane Ike had kept a more southern course than expected.  With Ike now turning north and expected to make landfall sometime shortly after midnight early Saturday morning, it was decided Friday morning to move the game.

Alabama A&M's team has already arrived in Monroe having left Thursday night just before midnight from the Huntsville campus, which was the team's original travel plan for the Saturday kickoff.  The team will return to campus immediately following the game.

This is an historic game for Alabama A&M as it is the first time in the Bulldogs' history they have played against an NCAA Div. I (FBS) team.  Both teams are looking for their first win of the season.  Alabama A&M dropped its first two games to Tennessee State and Jacksonville State, while ULM fell to Auburn and Arkansas.
