Tech=no bowl

[ATXCajun]

How would like to be a senior at Tech and had the leadership of a 9-3 team. You lost your last 2 games and expected to have one last game to play. Then have the administration take that game from you. WOW . . . just WOW.

Never thought of it quite the way you put it. Wow is right. These seniors might regard this as unforgivable and never associate with the program again.

Slamming Tech should be a bi-partisan effort.

No Liberals or Conservatives on this thread.

At this point, I think with the Perception problem of the sunbelt, you gotta root for the conference. Normally I wouldn't but in this situation, I will. Sunbelt 4-0 in bowl games looks great for all of us.

Spot on ... and with 4 bowl games we will be shown on all the comparisons for how the conferences are faring in the bowl games ... a 4-0 record would sure show up well!

Did anybody notice MTSU and latech aren't playing in bowl games this year?

I am pretty sure Moon is a ULM guy.

Now LTU is saying on Tim Brando Show that the Indy should have given them more time. Reasons to follow:

A: LTU plays many games in Shreveport as a home team regular season like the TAMU game this year.
B: LTU helped the 2008 Indy Bowl by not going to Houston, I think we might remember that one.
C: The Indy Bowl was still going to have Ohio U as an option the next day.
D: They were hoping for a more prestigious Heart of Dallas Bowl, or a strong tradition with of the Liberty Bowl. Both bowls had expressed a strong desire for the LTU team late last week.

Bottom line they felt that they had built up capital with the Indy but seems not.

Brando asked if LTU had been mislead by the other two bowls. The AD said yes, and especially the Liberty that told them they were their choice for the Tulsa opponent.

That is their spin on it, no not wanting to avoid ULM only to get a better bowl did they use up what seems to be very little capital with the Indy.

Later Brando commented that LTU was in fact acting as an independent with the WAC having only one bowl tie in, and when you have that situation you need to be sure about what are your real options.

If they keep up complaining they can tick off the Liberty Bowl and the HOD Bowl ... is that a trifecta?

And you admit that

...wondering if you will ever make the change to Hark Mudspeth.

I'll second Moon being a good guy, despite being a Monroe grad.

This helps to explain why the Liberty Bowl chose Iowa St.

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

I doubt seriously that the Indy Bowl considers what Tech did "for" them in 2008 a favor. ASU or UL vs NI would have sold as many tickets and gotten as good an audience as LT vs NIU; and an ASU/UL game against LT would have packed the house to the rafters, and still gotten the same or better TV numbers.

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