You all are comparing home games. How many did they take to their away games? That will tell the story.
Just wondering, what were our figures for our road games? And what was the pay out for each?
I think his point is at least 14-20 UL fans would have shown up, and spent money in Shrevesport, Bossier City. Part of the reason for a bowl is to help the local economy, and this NIU team won't. And further more since state money is involved it is also a bad thing for the state.
I don't know how many UL fans would've shown up, but there is little doubt that it would've easily been 2X what will show up from NIU (and I actually think a fair number of NIU fans are coming).
I'm not the cajun hater some of y'all think I am. I was disappointed Sunday night when I was under the impression that we (meaning Tech) CHOSE NIU over UL. Now that I know that wasn't the case, I feel a little better about it. I was looking forward to the tailgating.
I'm gonna buzz-off now because I've given y'all enough grief. I will say that I understand how y'all feel being left out. We've been there and it sucks. No doubt. Good luck getting your ship straight. Ours is far from straight, but it's 100% better than it was in 2006. It just takes one hire.
No wonder LA Tech has a problem playing the belt in a bowl. They already have their fill of former powerhouse members Idaho, Utah State and NMSU. Now THAT is a tough schedule.
Now that the season is over, have they said what was really wrong with Desmo's knee? There is no way it was just sprained. Anyone know anything to quench my curiosity?
Question was... Also now that the season is over, have they said what was really wrong with Desmo's knee? There is no way it was just sprained. Anyone know anything to quench my curiosity?
Answer... Mike's knee had a torn meniscus. The surgery was done on Monday I believe. He said yesterday that the tear was not as bad as they thought... and everything went fine. Having had that surgery about two years, I would suspect that they cut away the small torn part.
He will now rehab and he said "should be 100% within a couple of months."
