………to whomever fixed the capital As ….thanks as I had no clue to their origin!

Awww, that was my favorite part of the post

Get ready to lose respect then. He will be voting yes.

The first thing Tech will do as a SBC member is fight the conference on our branding. Mark my words. And T-Joe is handing that to them.

Tech is dead weight. Not interested in affiliating with them.

If T -Joe votes for Tech after the way they just $H!+ on the whole conference and would have done anything in their power to keep us out of CUSA in the years 15,16,17…i will lose all respect for the man. No back bone or principals.

I don’t want Tech in the conference at all, but T-Joe turning the other cheek represents a paradigm shift for this state. Higher education here is rife with sabotage, pettiness, and a crab mentality. T-Joe allowing LaTech to join this conference is uncommon in Louisiana higher ed politics. Maybe this will foster a new era of cooperation and mutual advancement; perhaps making friends and banding together will counter the TSAB agenda of dividing and conquering.

I think Tech has their work cut out for them academically and athletically. College enrollment will likely trend down with the AI revolution, and they won't be able to punch above their weight anymore in this NIL/Transfer Portal Wild West. They can't afford enemies while trying to tread water.

Yes they will.

You bet they will!! It will be a mega fight on day one! Never trust a communist and never trust Tek!

I am excited to have another football game on the schedule people will care about.
I would rather play them out of Conference, but now we have USM and Tech that are easy travel for fans and should draw decent crowds.

I will miss going to TX St but that rivalry never took off

Out of touch, and it all started with not paying attention to what was being done to tailgating.

They are already doing that on the CSNBBS board. They are saying ULL is necessary to tell the difference with ULM. They are real pricks and this will only get worse. The conference will have to deal with the name issue with the university, but the posters won't have to and will not abide by that. It will get ugly and a continuing battle for our name. Dr. S has got to stipulate that we are to be referred to as Louisiana. I doubt he goes so far as to say use UL, unfortunately. I hope the conference decides that they don't want 3 teams from Louisiana and since the Ruston and Monroe markets are only 30 miles apart, that Tech brings nothing to the table.

Now that won’t happen. I can assure you that. Not suggesting LaTech will roll over on this one, but the SBC and Louisiana won’t allow it. It may be all Ragin’ Cajuns when we are in Ruston, but there sure damn won’t be in official use of ULL or Lafayette.
