Can you feel the love?

Also let me add their stellar list of current players in the NFL. With such studs like Ryan Moats, Luke McCown, Tramon Williams, Josh Scobee, and Matt Stover! When your best alumni currently in the NFL is a kicker, you've got something to hang your hat on. Thats talent right there.

I'm getting fired up.

Are the sections of blue tarps included in their total attendance? I mean it does make their stadium look like more people are there.

_ "Wasn't trying to come across so nasty. The Louisiana does kind of sound dumb you have to admit. "

That is from a post from the tech board. A lot of them seem not only offended but confused by it. LOL. They are so sad, but if I lived in Ruston I would probably be sad too. (No offense dad). But honestly, when people around the country think of Louisiana, they think of Cajuns, good food, fun atmosphere, music, swamps, and friendly people. These are all things we have not only in Acadiana, but in Lafayette. So it therefore makes sense for us attempt to assert the term. And we are not worried about being the "flagship" of the Louisiana system, but academically we are leaders. And I guess tech is supposed to have a good engineering department, good for them. Our petroleum engineering department just won best student chapter in in the world, so I guess we aren't so bad ourselves. Basically, we have what others wish they had, so they try to run us over the coals on the few things we are lacking. Only where we are proficient, we don't try to hold others down, we cheer for our collegiate peers to be successful. It is sad there isn't more cooperation in this state. I guess I am just as confused by their inflated sense of self as they are of Louisiana.

No offense taken. I was just born in Ruston. Didn't live there for very long. Of course, my dad did play football there (back when THEY went by a different name - Louisiana Polytechnic Institute, for those Techsters who howl about us changing our name!). So I do have a soft spot in my heart for Tech and cheer for them except when they play us.

I don't get their worries/fears about us trying to take over the UL System as "flagship." I've never heard that discussed as even a dream/goal of ours by anyone at UL. I guess that is just Bulldog paranoia. BTW, I thought you were supposed to be in Florida on a boat right now. Did that fall through or are you just finished?

I had always liked our games with Tech and considered them our biggest rival. However, given the attitude expressed by their AD earlier in the year when announcing that they wouldn't play monroe because they consider themselves more elite, the fact that they keep giving excuse after excuse not to schedule a regular season game and now the reports that they are telling the Indy Bowl that they do not want to lower themselves to play a SunBelt team, I think we and every other SunBelt school should immediately cancel all currently scheduled games with them in all sports and refuse to schedule any future games. Let them take their "elite" baseball team, volleyball, basketball, etc on some nice long, revenue gobbling bus trips in search of opponents worthy of being graced by their "elite" presence.

Growing up I never really had a reason to hate La Neck (i'm 25). We've played them in Football a few times and every year in Baseball and the past few years in basketball. Look I'm all for creating an image for your program and all but they are out of control with their "We don't want to lower ourselves", elitest bravado that they have adopted in the last couple of years. The funny thing about it is that La Tech won't "lower" to our level but Illinois, Nebraska, LSU, Georgia, and Ok. St (who we've got at home) will stoop to our level for a regular season game.

Which leads me to believe that behind closed doors they don't want to play us or any sunbelt school because if they lose, their "elite" status has a very big hole in it. So when it comes down to it, we know AND they know that they know that they ARE afraid to lose to a Belt team. Look in their own conference, i'd rather lose to Troy than to Ut. St. or New Mex St.

La Neck has officially become my most hated athletic program pushing UNo back to the 2 spot.

LSwho? will always be my #1 most hated...I'd give up my first born before supporting that school
