I got way out of hand and I hope it doesn't repeat itself next year. That was just a nasty past week.

Apparently it is our fault because of something said by our head coach at a private boosters club meeting. Something that probably shouldn't have been printed. The writer blew it out of proportion, ULM ran with it and suckered (again) the Cajuns into buying into their hatred of Louisiana Tech.

The truth, or at least what I believe to be true, is that Tech and the Cajuns are both excellent schools whose growth and good academic and athletic programs have been stymied by Louisiana politics. It is actually amazing that both schools have made the progress they have. It is painful, at least it is to me, when decisions are made and actions are taken that may help a short term problem but hinders long term growth and standing that both schools have earned.

We are good at more sports, our endowment is much larger (that's what she said), our population base is larger and economically stronger, etc etc. One of the worse things about that loss is having to listen to dip____s like this lecture us, when they only got into a "better" conference based upon bold faced lies. But you know what, our team ____ the bed, so now we have to listen to it. I will just comfort myself with the fact I have never had to live in Ruston, and God willing that will always be the case.

What "bold face lies" do you speak of?

Your programs have shown the ability to crater a good season on several occasions and your overt focus on football and basketball only shows how small time you really are. You were stupid to join the WAC, and lucky there wasn't anyone left to ____ off in the WAC when it came time for the last choices to be made and they took all of your lies about where your program was heading in stride. You didn't separate...you still aren't a Doctoral 1 university and thank god USNEWS considers you a Tier 1 university because it seems like the only thing you have to hang your hat on at the moment.

You wanted more, you wanted better...and you stumbled ___ backwards into a CUSA that resembled the SBC you left to join the WAC.

Let's get something else straight. You don't know what you are talking about.

Some of his posts got a few people on here extremely ____ed off. If we posted in threads on BB&B, and your moderator left them up for all to read, we'd see equally nasty posts from Tech people.

No, there would never be anything like that on BBB. :) Some of it gets ridiculous, everywhere you look. I do not like personal attacks, ridiculous and unsubstantiated assertions and claims, or attacks on people's homes, whether ours, yours, or theirs. Most folks are just trying to do the best we can in a world that makes less and less sense.

A quick check of the dead dawg board shows a "not caring about UL" thread at 14 pages and counting. Apparently we are very deep inside those little heads up there. They know they are being left behind and they dont like it.

If I'm not mistaken, you and I share a personal friend (don't say my or his name on here, please). I have great great Tech friends. I don't like the ugliness either direction. I've always been upset that we haven't continued the yearly all-sports rivalry. And I sure wish you guys would assist us in being future conference partners (LOL).
