My Harris Poll Vote - From the Bird's Nest

[BlueDawg]

Well golly gee...ok. We have UL scheduled..... That good enough?!?

[Wing-over]

Don't really care about that. I think ULM beats Tech. Kolton Browning wouldn't be stopped by that defense. And no, it isn't a game.

Of all the voters, I believe you're the only one that sees it that way. Is everyone else wrong? I just mean does anyone else have ULM ahead of Tech? Don't get me wrong, I believe you're a good writer and, fwiw, better than Tech's beat writer. It just seemed a little flippant to me.

Slappy......I believe you took the post wrong. I know Jay ranked Tech #24.......maybe go back and read it.

Z........I follow what UL is doing and I'm not insecure or a douche....too old for that nonsense. I really like reading your posts.....you always have something interesting to say and you make a lot of sense. This is just a different opinion.....that's all it is. But if you guys don't want that, I guess it's back to their boards people should go.

Remember, this was a question I had for BOP........I'm sure he can state his own position. Good luck in y'all's game against ULM. I hope UL wins and gets back on track. If you guys win out, would that give UL the Sun Belt championship and a bid to the New Orleans Bowl?

Btw, this was just questioning ULM......didn't think you guys would react this way about ULM.

I thought you didn't see Tech ranked. Personally, I would have Tech above ULM, because I don't think ULM deserves to be ranked at this point.

But, I do not think Tech is invincible. They played aTm really tough, but other than that the schedule has been very soft. We will find out more versus San Jose and Utah State.

I think there is definitely an argument that ULM could beat Tech. I think if the game was played at ULM it would be a close game. I think if the game is in Ruston, Tech may win going away. Remember, ULM contained Baylor who has a really explosive offense:

While I disagree with Jay's rankings, I don't think it's an asinine opinion to think ULM is better than Tech.

Slappy.......you make some very good points. Well thought out. And we all know that on any given day........

I'm just saying if I were doing a top 25 or whatever, it would seem to be rediculous to put ULM ahead of Tech AT THIS POINT......down the road, we'll see. If I were being honest, I would come to the same conclusion as most of the voters......for that matter, BOP putting them ahead of Tech.............well, ULM isn't even ranked. I only meant to ask Jay a question, not for this thread to turn into a ULM vs. Tech discussion on the UL board. Sorry guys.....that's the problem putting thoughts in text. Sometimes they are misunderstood. And I don't believe Jay has an asinine opinion. I wouldn't call it that, he's a good writer. He's just wrong.......in this case......for now... : )

Oh, and I don't think Tech is invincible.......never said that. You're right....the games with Utah State and San Jose State may be very competitive.

[Turbine]

ULM is not ahead of Tech and it is UL's job to prove it Saturday.

[Wing-over]

Do it. Good luck!!

ULM is every bit as good or better than Tech this year. Tech has just had the more favorable schedule. Their easy schedule has allowed them to become a ranked team, but it also has eliminated any possibility of them becoming a BCS buster. Even if they had beaten A&M, it is doubtful that they'd have made the cut simply because of their strength of schedule. Though games against top 10 teams like Florida give you an opportunity for a signature win for your program, they also give you an opportunity to get totally embarrassed. I yearn for the day when we can afford to schedule only middle of the pac AQ conference teams instead of the powerhouses. It's one step at a time though, and we're not there yet.

Remember, ULM contained Baylor who has a really explosive offense:

Umm...Baylor had 550 yards of offense and 47 points

Well, the only way opinions are wrong is when they become facts.

My opinion, based on what I've seen of both teams...and I HAVE seen both teams, is as good as your guy is at QB, Browning just has "it."

Now, if the two of you play and Tech wins, them I'm wrong. But until that happens, all it is is an opinion.

I understand the rest of the polls disagree with me. And I guarantee you, 80 percent or more in both polls have not seen either team play.
