Anyone going to the Ragin Cajun/LaTech football game?

You know what happened? We still out recruited you and for the second year in a row have been named one of the better athletic programs in the nation. Lol. What happened to you? Moron.

Pull your head out if your ssss. You familiar with 247 sports? Takes the composite of all the rating services. You were out recruited. More than likely we will do it again this year.

Ps no comment about our athletic program outdistancing y'all by a wide margin? No prob. I wouldn't bring it up either if I were u.

[Zeebart21]

The UL/LaTech game is in October. If both teams are doing well at that time, LaTech may be pretty tight with the ticket allotment as the game will probably be a sellout since Tech's stadium now only seats 27,000 or so. If both teams come into the game with mediocre records, LaTech will be more than glad to accommodate the entire Pride of Acadiana marching band. They'll want to pad the attendance any way they can.

True. I'd like to see the PoA there. But Dre is probably right that we have to use our allotment. I have no idea how all of that works (whether we request more and Tech accommodates or what). I can't imagine that Tech will need the tickets. They've never sold out their current capacity.

They will when Jaguar Nation comes rolling in!

Wasn't it last season when the band went to ULM? They were in visitor section seats, and ULM accomodated.

Attendance is darned near the same for Latex and its twin buddy ULM. We should have plenty of room for the ban' (thats how the say it on Pecan Island).

Seriously bro? I really hope you don't speak for the majority of your fanbase. I'd like to think that we're all "adults" here (friendly banter aside)...So you would go out of your way to NOT spend any money in the Ruston area simple because of Tech. If you're serious, that's really shatty. PLEASE stay at home if that's the case. Sounds like people like you already have their minds made up that their going to have a really bad time, so DON'T come.
It wasn't an issue for us Tech fans to spend our money in Laffy & we certainly wouldn't purposely try to penalize area businesses if they happen to reside in the same town as a rival school. For awhile now, (I for one) believed that UL would be a good addition to CUSA simply for the renewal of an old rivalry, good competition, easy travel, etc. but if this is the way your fanbase would "return the favor", to little ole Ruston, I would definitely change my tune. No wonder ULM fans hold y'all in such high regard.

We do tend to get a little defensive and sensitive over here but it goes both ways. I don't partake in the BBB boards you guys have but several of our members do and from time to time, post links to threads on that board and delusion runs many ways. Do we have some goofballs here who are perhaps stuck in La La land? Yes, as you've seen but so do Tech fans. However, don't ever think that one or two people's opinions reflect those of an entire fan base. BTW I'm curious to see where this goes as we still have a long way to go before the actual game.

Having said that, I myself had to chuckle at a couple of the posts beating our chest about recruiting and overall athletic programs. We've come a long way from where we were 5 years ago but still have a long way to go. I think both schools recruit very similarly in football and we've both missed out on players who committed to the other so to say that one school has outrecruited the other in recent years may be a stretch as I'd view them as fairly equal. Yeah, we have these services that rank classes and such and that's all great but we had many people who thought our level of athlete was much superior to yours last year and we see how that turned out. I think neither side should get too far ahead of itself, especially when the proof is in the pudding and on the field. We'll see late fall.
