1. “This is a wonderful opportunity to host a representative team from the Big 12 Conference, one of the most powerful and prestigious conferences in the country.”

2. “Iowa State has great fans. They set an all-time season record for average home attendance this year at 55,275. This will be closest bowl destination for Iowa State and their fans. We look forward to the Cyclones and their fans ringing in the New Year on Beale Street, which will have a huge economic impact for the Memphis community.” - Steve Ehrhart, Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl

The real problem for the Liberty Bowl was where to put Tech's tarps.

But they could have gone to Houston VO, Houston!!!!!!! They saved the Indy and wanted a more national opponent. I guess they chose not save the Indy twice in four years. LOL

I am just trying to condense what he said. Bottom line LTU recruits will be hearing a lot from Hud and Berry.

Ah. Post-mortem thing. I get it.

La Tech chose their own fate.
I think the Liberty Bowl made the right decision for them! (Choosing Iowa St.)

La. Tech hangover after this is going to last a very long time!...Geez can you see next year come bowl season...If a bowl selects them can you imagine the hooblah blah that will be discussed...just hilarious!

My oh my. This was a rough year for Tech. They make a play on LSU Shreveport and get denied. Some vet assistant leaves their mascot out in the sun and he croaks (and she lies and makes the mishap even worse). ULM starts stealing all of their north Louisiana glory... Tech launches ahead... climbs into the top 25... almost takes down Johnny Football... are still in the hunt for serious bowls... and they stumble and fall at the worst possible time. ULM snags their first bowl invite right inside the Tech adopted city of Shreveport. Then... with all the arrogance only Tech can muster... they play their cards wrong and screw their football team out of a bowl... with one of their best ever regular seasons. And then... if that weren't enough... their former poster child for Mr. Arrogant Tech Tool of the Decade... Derek Dooley... loses his job at Tennessee. My oh my.

Can you imagine how good it's going to feel for ULM fans to drive through the middle of Ruston on their way to Shreveport?

My question to you sir? Is it appropriate to take a small detour off of I-20 onto the campus of LTU with the Hoax window flags streaming and blowing horns? If the answer to that is no, then by all means the Hoax fans need to do it.
