LOUISIANA VS TECH

[ManAboutTown]

G5 needs to put ego's aside and do what is best for the future. I'd love to stick it to Tech as well, but they would be an exciting addition for fans. That is to say if they could also put their ego aside. With ULM in the SBC I doubt they could though.

I’ll just put it bluntly. SBC presidents aren’t interested in Tech.

Well that's a mistake if that is accurate and the SBC presidents don't have UL or the fans best interest in mind.

[cajun55]

who would you prefer join the West if we go to 14. Southern Miss and......?

I want packed crowds at Cajun field, sick of seeing empty visitor sections every home game, not to mention the boost these type of games would be for our fan base.

It isn’t a mistake. They are back stabbing egomaniacs that would derail this conference the first chance that they get. They are also broke.

[cajun55]

So what team would you prefer join the West that would be exciting for UL fans?

Completely disagree, that is why USM is being worked on. As well as Marshall and potentially others.

If we expand to 14 and get Marshall in the east, Southern Miss in the West, which school would bring more fan interest than LA Tech as the second addition to the West?

I don't think we need 14, 12 would be perfect at this point. No need to over expand at this point.

[cajun55]

Well 14 is on the table and I have yet to hear who the second addition to the west would be? Western Kentucky? Another team that screwed over the Belt years ago. At some point ego's need to put aside and give the fans what they want. Exciting regional rivalries. I would love to see regular match-ups against Tech in all sports, spoken purely as a fan.

ECU and JMU, move Troy to the West.

[cajun55]

does nothing for me as a fan. Hate that.

Now keep Troy in the East, add ECU and Marshall in the east, then Southern Miss & LA Tech in the west and now we are in business.

Does everything for you when you add USM. Monroe getting better and adding commitment helps you.

The health of the league is the most important thing long term.
