Nicholls Colonel Caravan returns to Morgan City on Thursday

Nicholls State head football coach Tim Rebowe is scheduled to be part of the Colonel Caravan when it comes to Morgan City on Thursday.

The Colonel Caravan will be at the Petroleum Club of Morgan City 5:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday. The public is invited.

It will be the Caravan's first Morgan City stop since 2019 because of the COVID pandemic.

Local Nicholls alumni sought a Caravan stop for Morgan City at a time when it appeared only at larger cities around the region. They succeeded in 2018, about the time the Colonels set about building the first of two consecutive nine-win football seasons.

Local alumni say the 2019 Caravan stop in Morgan City drew more attendees than any other that year.

Rebowe will soon start his eighth season as Nicholls head coach with a 44-35 record, making him the winningest coach in the program's history. His teams have twice won Southland Conference titles and earned FCS playoff berths 2017-19.
