When will things be sweet?

Tech is in the WAC. Thats a couple of steps down from MTN WEST. Tech had some really good years in football...key word, HAD. Everyone is running around Ruston like their hair is on fire over this new coach.

Dudes never proven anything. His assts arent world beaters. Scelfo is a dishonest a.sshole. Probably best we found out about that now, rather than later.

For the most part, their facilities arent as good as ours. Sim has done wonders with the baseball diamond, but it sure isnt "the Tigue"

Football field is mediocre at best. Prescription turf...nice...kudos.

Our Indoor practice facility...much nicer.

The basketball arena is OK. Certainly not any better than the Cajundome.

Again, I can see your frustration but maybe you should have compared us to Troy instead of Tech. Troy is the one that will leave everyone(including the mighty tech) behind if we dont pll our fingers out of our ssses.

I agree 100% with the Troy statement.

then why are you opeining your mouth and (&#*%)comes out?
the new ragin cajun will be out soon i got a peek at it and it looks good, they are working out some of the bugs, you know what! i feel for you people who live in this INSTANT time these days and if you want it to move any faster there is one thing you can do................go over to the athletic building get ahold to gerald and he'll fill you in on speeding up the projects that takes $$$ other than that why not sit back and try to enjoy, i know what...i'll say alittle prayer for you how about that.......................

Instant gratification, instant gratification........are you freakin kidding me?

If you call 30+ years watching and waiting for that moron who runs this ship to do his job when it comes to athletics (I think he has done a very admiral job with the academics), then you are just as big of a moron.

Why in the hell should I have to go to Gerald Hebert to get answers to these questions? (Don't get me wrong, I think Gerald is the best thing that has happened to UL athletics in a long time) I am an alum just like most who post here, and this is where I have to come to get my information (no offense intended Turbine. Thank goodness for this site.) The university should come to me and to all alum. Believe me, I do my part. I have 4 season baseball tickets, I go to many basketball games, football games etc.... My wall at the office is littered with UL stuff. I have more UL gear at home than I know what to with. Don't tell me I don't do my part.

And again Olman, you failed to read the entire post. But I will take your prayers though. Goodness knows I need them

Its Tigue. Whose head is in the sand. Looks like you and I were the only ones discussing Tech. If you are going to call someone out just do it, dont pus.sy foot. After all these posts your only answer as to why Tech would be in CUSA before us is because they are in the WAC??? Absurdity. I gave you some concrete answers as to why your assertions were false. Anyway, CUSA isnt taking any more members. Viva la Sunbelt!!!

I don't know who the heck you are but two words.. Bite Me....

I am not calling anyone out... Just wanted to engage in some conversation about a subject that bothers me... Guess you are satisfied with the way things are.... thats fine.. I'm not.. I'll continue to support this university.. No worries there... Just seems to me that we should expect more....

[IHateLaState]

The fact they are in a better conference ( I grant you not a good fit for them ) in a town like Ruston shows we have done so little with so much. We should have been in CUSA 10 years ago and be complaining about not being part of the BCS.

Excellent post.... Be prepared to be flamed however.....

You know what, I am glad that I started this post. Not because of the negativity it may have generated, but because of the anger and passion that it stoked in many of you.

I find I do my best work when I am angry. We just need to channel our anger into a positive way.

Once we lose our anger and passion we become apathetic, and that is the worst thing that we can do as UL fans.

P.S.

I will be at the Tigue tonight cheering on my RAGIN CAJUNS. Hope to see you all there. Yes Olman, even you.

Thank you for your support

What did I win????????

[Cajun Express]

Tech is in the Mountain West Conference which is getting 2 or 3 Bowl games per year... Yes our conference got more than one this year only because of the winning record rule...Trust me had another team anywhere had a winning record we would not have been in....Tech has been to at least one bowl game in recent memory... I attended our last one... back in the early 70's if memory serves me.... The Grantland Rice Bowl.....

Tech is not in the Mountain West Conference, they are in the WAC, and the current WAC looks a lot like the old Big West Conference. LTU IMO, is not in line for a major upgrade in any conference any time soon.

Having said that we still must do much better. You can help to start us getting better by helping to get a million dollars into our foundation to provide summer school funds for our football and other teams. Get together with your friends and each one get one more to contribute. Why wait and b(itch) about others when none of us are doing the most we can.

Well i do have season tickets (4) for Football, Baseball and Basketball... For Football I pay that Ragin Cajun Club dues for chairbacks... This is about the best I can do as an individual...

As for _____ing abut others.... those I am voicing concern over (feel free to call it _____ing) are those that are in position to do something.. those who are PAID to do something... those who I think are very much doing the best that they can but do not (JMO remember) contain the attributes we need in the positions they hold.

I know personally someone who applied to the AD search board who felt like I do... that changes needed to be made...this individual is an experienced business man... with contacts all over the area... in other words someone who could do those things you speak of... like raising money.... He has not even received an acknowledgment of his application... His credentials may not be what they are looking for but perhaps the courtesy of a letter to someone who can make things happen would have been in order..

What you call _____ing is what I call expressing concern.. Guess I should keep quiet and watch others move past the university I love... i'd rather not do that.... Do more?? I'd be happy to............
