All Nick Saltaformaggio wanted was for his Holy Cross football players to experience something different. The best way to do that, the coach figured, was to find an opponent that would require a long road trip for a chance to play somewhere outside the New Orleans area. He did that, and then some. Holy Cross will have about 1,000 supporters from New Orleans in attendance when the Tigers open the season Friday in Texas against Holy Cross of San Antonio. 'This got to be way bigger than I ever imagined,' said Saltaformaggio, whose team departed New Orleans on a bus at 3:30 a.
