What an utter and complete fail on the the part of Tech's administration. Got to feel for their seniors, especially those from out of state who don't know squat about the past bad blood. Best part of it from our point of view, at some point it will be possible due to a CUSA tie in for Tech to HAVE to play a Louisiana Sunbelt team or go thru the same melt down. Priceless...
Oh I agree, WKU gets priority. I was just pointing out that Middle fans have always been good guys.Quote:

The propaganda they;re putting out is that the I bowl forced them to say no because they thought they were going to have a better opportunity... Ah espn shedding light on it now...Quote:

I think La Tech is invited to the Ruston StayAtHome Bowl
I just wanted to bump this up because BWAAHHHHhahahahahahaha....I just cannot get enough of it....you reap what you sow baby!
So, what is La Tech's plan for bowl invites in CUSA? I mean, given the surge at UL and ULM, they might have to turn down the New Orleans Bowl any time it is offered.
I just got the whole Tech=no bowl thing. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
This provides some clarity ...Quote:

Independence Bowl chairman Jack Andres said organizers had to set a deadline for Louisiana Tech. They were concerned if they waited they would be stuck with a team that was barely bowl eligible and too far away from Shreveport to bring many fans to the game.
"We had to make some decisions to get somebody in there. We've got sponsors, hotels. There's a lot of money riding on this," he said.
"Before we made another deal we called them back. We said, 'We're still willing to have you at the bowl, but need to know fairly quickly.' So we gave them a deadline and they didn't call us back until way later than that. If you don't call us back, that's a 'No.' And we made another deal so we'd have a quality bowl team."
The Independence Bowl ended up selecting Ohio University from the Mid-American Conference.

"Liar, liar, pants on fire," ESPN has learned, from a source, who we won't give credit to.
I laughed so hard at this I nearly choked.Quote:

Bigtime just went small time. They wanted separation from the UL'ers and it looks like they got it....
I will be passing the A N U S O L or PREPARATION H to any of 'em who request it.
The ONLY person north of Alexandria I feel for is Dwayne From Minden. The rest can wallow in the fodder that they chose to lay their arrogant arses in. They went from assuming they would be in a January Bowl to the OUTHOUSE BOWL.
Payback is H E L L .... Which will shine brightly on the recruiting trail.
Their suicide rate is going to be going up,
The Tech board is real interesting to read right now. It appears that it was all the Indy Bowl's fault for not waiting to see if Tech got into a better bowl. Looking from the outside in we all see how arrogant and stupid that is. Kind of like telling your boss you are searching for a better job but you wanted to keep this job as a fall back. However, they have said it enough that people are buying it.

Their propaganda machine says not so. the AD says they were never given a formal offer, LTU asked for extensions to the non offer, and finally the non offer was rescinded by the LB.Quote:

From Twitter: "Louisiana Tech declines Santas invitation to have a Merry Christmas" LOL
