A total of 10 Colonels received All-Southland honors in 2017, with all 10 recipients set to return for the ‘18 campaign. Nicholls has five home games scheduled for the second straight year. The Colonels went undefeated at John L. Guidry Stadium last year in the regular season, only dropping the playoff game on their home turf. With a 5-1 record at home, it marked just the fourth time in history a team won five games in Thibodaux. The 2018 campaign begins with a pair of FBS opponents - Kansas and Tulane. After near wins in its last three FBS matchups - an OT loss to South Alabama, and close calls at Texas A&M and Georgia, Nicholls aims for its first FBS win since beating Western Michigan in 2013. Including WMU, the Colonels have three FBS wins since 2000 – Arkansas State (2001) and Rice (2007). Despite being only 60 miles apart, the matchup with Tulane will be the first ever for the schools on the gridiron.

GEAUXCOLONELS.COM 77 JOHN L. GUIDRY STADIUM ohn L. Guidry Stadium has been home to the Colonels football Jteam since the school began playing the sport on the intercollegiate level in 1972. The facility is named in honor of former Galliano state representative John L. Guidry who was instrumental in the establishment of Francis T. Nicholls Junior College. The stadium features a three-level press box on the west side. The first level houses an area for game management staff, radio and coaches’ booths and a working press area that was established following a renovation project that was completed prior to the 1999 season. The president’s suite and a 30-seat club level, which were also part of the 1999 press box renovation, make up the second level, while a video and photo deck is located on the roof. In 2012, the west entrance of the stadium was given a facelift which included a new elevator shaft with an ever-present illuminated Nicholls “N”, a glass-cased elevator and a Hall of Fame decorated lobby area. Last year, Manning Field received a makeover with the installation of a brand new GeoGreen™ artificial turf by Geo-Surfaces of Baton Rouge. In addition to the new playing surface, an 18-by-32 foot full-color LED Nevco Video Scoreboard was placed at the north end zone, along with an enhanced sound system. Adjacent to the elevator landing at ground level is the Century Club Room.
