LOUISIANA VS TECH

[cajun55]

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

[RaginDave]

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

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

[cajun55]

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.

[cajun55]

I'm simply telling you as a fan after Southern Miss I don't see a better addition to the west than Tech. Moving Troy over to the West and adding 3 Eastern teams would be quite a let down.

Disagree. After the snubs and demeaning comments they made about the conference over the years belt presidents need to let them die on the vine. We don’t need them. Let them struggle, it couldn’t happen to a better bunch. It would be like inviting someone into your home that has insulted your wife for the last 20 years.
