Can you feel the love?

_ HAHAHAHAHAHA they are trying to "distance" themselves from the Sunbelt? when did Neck become so entitled? When did the bible belters reach such football greatness that they don't want to lower themselves to the sunbelt. I mean I know we aren't the best college football team out there but come on. Am I supposed to be wow'd by a 4 point win over NMSt.? Or winning by a TD over the explosive Utah St.? And we are the ones accused of trying to be something we're not.

I can't wait until conference re-allignment and they end up in our conference. They claim to be so much better than the sunbelt. I'll put Troy, Ark St., or our squad this year against Neck any time, anywhere.

I mean, since they've won so many conference Championships.




sorry i've been holding that in for awhile. _

Glad you got it off your chest!

Geez, isn't it swell to have such emotional support in such a trying time in our fandom??? Glad we can be here for ya brah.

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.
