Texas State Headed To Mountain West Conference?

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Maybe I'm too young to remember playing them every year as we haven't played every year since 2000. I just don't hate tech. Louisiana tech has been 3-9 the past 3 years and is 1-3 this year.


Ah yes everyone would hate and get up for their super bowl against a ____ty football team

UL would also save in travel costs for all sports by adding LaTech vs. WKU.

A big NO to adding Tech.

I would be shocked if the SBC presidents would ever invite Tech. Some don't seem to understand that their administration (not fans) have purposefully tried to damage multiple schools in this league.

And while they try to put themselves out their as some kind of academic powerhouse they are far from it. I have personally known professors at Tech that left because of what amounts to academic fraud in passing students with advanced degrees to keep up their numbers.

And for those doubting me there is this:

You’re not alone.

Mr. Jay Walker if you’re out there (or anyone that has it). Please post the link to your SBC board post regarding many of the bridges Tech has burned with multiple SBC members. Thank you in advance.

It’s a list of Ruston’s dishonesty and other missteps with SBC members. UL and ULM won’t be the only ones closing the door. It’s pretty much DOA.

Tommy Mac’s little bravado video, remember where he was before Tech. He was playing to that audience too. Though they’d love to move up, at least they know don’t bother trying the SBC.

Same here. Im definitely missing something here. MAC, MW, AAC, CUSA and SBC. It's definitely b/t AAC or SBC. And as of the last 3 years, I'm picking the Belt as the Top G5.

We're moving to a P2 and then everyone else model. The PAC and MWC are trying to fill gaps, unfortunately there aren't schools available that will bring the brand value that you had before. So, the conferences look at markets to fill the gaps, admittedly Texas State is in a good spot located between Austin and San Antonio. However, the competition for eyes on your product is fierce, with UT nearby. I don't see television networks continuing to pay boatloads of cash with some of these reworked conferences.

This is why I've always felt that marketing the Ragin' Cajun brand is critical. We have the most unique name in the United States. However, we lack visual representation via a mascot and finding Ragin' Cajuns gear is a struggle the further you move from Lafayette.

No to La Tech. They burnt their bridge and we not rebuilding the bridge.

ULM dropped the name fight for SBC membership. In Tech’s case, probably help get a ULS med school in Lafayette might garner a vote.

Tuck fech. Let them rot. It’s possible to play every year in football without being in the same conference. We play them every year in everything else.

I hope not. I think UL vs. Texas State could be an awesome rivalry in football, baseball and softball every year.

The Sunbelt messed up pairing an I-20 school with an I-10 school.

The natural travel partner would be two I-10 schools. Louisiana & Texas State.

Instead they went Texas State/ULM
