Conference realignment again????

[ZoomZoom]

The McNeese sight is funny they booted me off of it. I ask where do you think yall will find 20 mill more a year ...Their response TV money

Yeah that and they think the casino’s owner, Fertitta, can’t wait to fill his casino with UH fans and playing in LC. Fertitta is a regent on the UH board, closest to Cougars get to LC is flying overhead to points east.

I have been saying build to 30K with the option to flex to 40K.

Heck, we still have the east side of CF waiting to receive the upper deck…

OK, you guys have had your fun. Let me state my case:

1. I don't expect the Sun Belt to expand again, tho' it conceivably could happen. If you expand, you expand by two teams, one east and one west. There is no school other than Tech that benefits the Cajuns and the league as far as western expansion is concerned. Keep in mind, we're talking a few years down the road. Plenty of time for them to become more humble.

2. I'm not petty and I don't take it personally. Tech has some real butthole fans. Guess what? So do we. In fact, many of you are starting to sound like the guys on BB&B with your superiority issues. Don't take that personally. Just making an observation.

3. Louisiana Tech (on the field) adds value to the league. They would be competitive in the five major sports and would be in the top 25 percent in most of those. Iron sharpens iron.

4. The people in the La. Tech administration who were holier than thou are all gone. They've been replaced by much more reasonable people, from what I've been told. The name remains the same, the players have changed.

5. We need a rival. Our rival has been "flavor of the month" for about 20 years now. We (you) have rejected ULM as a rival. That's fine. But we need someone to hate. As Kevin Foote has said many times, sports hate is a good thing. You might be ready to bring up Southern Miss and time will tell. But South Alabama has more of a recent history with them and they are closer in geography. And for those of you who have suggested we have a rivalry, just not in conference, sorry. If they aren't in the league we don't play football every year...and even if they did, there's something about a conference rivalry that trumps everything.

6. It gives our fans a game they can travel to and vice versa. This league needs visiting teams to travel. It helps from a revenue standpoint among other things.

7. Who gives a ____ what they call us? I've always said from the day the name was changed, that state schools would never comply. Now, a couple have. ULM refers to us only as "ragin' cajuns." McNeese, Tech and LSU are NEVER going to call us Louisiana and like I said, who gives a rat's ___. You know who calls us Louisiana? The ones that matter.
(And, that "bow the knee" attitude didn't work very well for Daenerys Targaryen, did it.)

I don't like Tech. Not even a little bit. And, for me, that's even MORE reason to want them in the league.

So, you guys can rant and in at least one case, say I'm full of ____. But I think I'm right on this one. We need a rival and there's only one school in America right now that fits the bill.

I always said it would happen when Tech put their ego in their pocket. It's happening. Maybe we need to put our ego aside as well.

First I never thought that Jay and Craig would disagree, but is it ok to agree to disagree which some folks on this board have issues with. Jay and Craig have no issues with each other.

Second I disagree that Tech is competitive with UL in softball nor would they be with half of the sunbelt teams. And they sure in the hell will never make a top 25 poll. As for baseball yes they would belong.

We can schedule tech for your rivalry game…..but they can sit their butt where they are and not in a conference with UL!
Sometimes I think some of you are just to damn soft or enjoy the drama.
I damn care what they call us! And they can stay the hell in the good ole CUSA.

Who the hell said they had issues?

Just make a scheduling alliance with Tech. Boost ticket sales for both of us, no conference affiliation politics to deal with.

Another fair option.

A scheduling alliance is a great experiment to see if La Tech can play nice or not, but La Tech hasn’t been open to scheduling us for football. It would be nice to see that change out of conference.

A scheduling alliance would be a good start. We have a home/home in like ‘26 & ‘27.

Rumor has SMU trying to get into the pac12….of that happens would that open up a navy, Memphis, or ECU to wanting to move?

Memphis and ECU would be amazing

10 conference games and 1 payday game and a FCS game

If Tech really wanted to “play up”, they should try to schedule UL!
