LA Tech Smack Talk

[fanof71]

Jay and G discussed this as I drove home last night, why and what does UL dislike (or hate) about La. Tech. Some of it is political if you will, as in Tech saying it wouldn't play UL in FB, prompting Scott Walker to to put the No-Tech scheduling rule into effect. For me, it goes deeper than that, and not just football either.

Basketball....Some monumental moments between the two schools. The late Tech coach Scotty Robertson was always in full maniac mode visiting Blackham. Always a rock'em sock'm game.

Football....back in the day, Tech was a small college national powerhouse. I remember as a teen watching Terry Bradshaw and Roger Carr visit to McNaspy, always a tough to stomach game.

An epic mid 70's visit to Ruston to watch USL tight end Calvin James tear up the Tech Defense

A 1975 Cajun Field game with a nationally ranked Tech club that took a lead into half time only to see it evaporate in the 2nd half. David Oliver caught everything and anything thrown his way. Will never forget Roy Henry, after a time out, coming back on the field moving his right arm in a throwing motion as to tell Tech, we're throwing it, you can't stop it, and we're winning this damn game.

Watching Tech run up the score on an undermanned USL team at Cajun Field in the early 90s.

Had the pleasure of going to Ruston for the opening of the Thomas Assembly Center. Saw a SRO crowd for Cheryl Miller and USC play the Lady Neckster (whose uniforms just reminded me of Motel 6 maids). Then it was like a fart in a phone booth, everyone (almost everyone) left. Cajun's men's team then had the honor of winning the first men's game in their arena.

Can't wait to give them that separation they've always wanted. Been waiting for this one for a long time. Going to exorcise some demons and continue to establish the new identity of this Athletic Program.

Go to hell Necks

Before you talk about Tech's "separation"..... You might want to concentrate on "separating" & beating your sister directional school ULM first. Y'all need to win back the right to call yourselves "Louisiana" from Monroe campus.

5 of the last 6 and we lost last year when our QB broke his arm in the 3rd quarter. That was also ULMs best squad ever. Y'all were so scared to play them two years ago you guys passed on a bowl game.

They would beat you as well if you played them so stop with that.

Tech passed on a bowl game? Didn't hear about that one.

[ManAboutTown]

I feel for you BlueDawg.. Tech football is so bad you're life has regressed to talking ULM smack..

Something to do with the thought that the Liberty Bowl actually wanted Tech in their bowl game.

[ZoomZoom]

That bold bowl move is something the necksters can never live down.

Oh btw, Phil Robertson called. He's coming pick up his duck blind (ticket booth) at Love Field, it's about hunting season time.

La Tech?? Haha what a joke
