UL AD and Coaches THRILLED With Louisiana Tech Being Added to Sunbelt West

[NewsCopy]

“I really think Louisiana Tech complements and fits nicely with the Sun Belt Conference (competitively),” Maggard said. “Yes, that was important and then when you look at the geography, it just made a lot of sense.”

Glad they are, because I’m sure not.

We’re such suckers. Us and ULM after the way LTU acted towards us for DECADES.

Would they have done the same favor if the roles were reversed and we were in a rotting conference. Hell no they wouldn’t.

So why in the hell would we have supported them joining the conference unless we’re led either by suckers or scrupleless people.

Everything about this, stinks.

Splitting the State in 3.

Replacing what you already had game wise.

Brand recognition dilution.

What would the SEC think of 3 LSU's in the same conference all located in the State of Louisiana? Would it dilute LSUBR's fan base?

Well how can anyone "really think Louisiana Tech complements and fits nicely with the Sun Belt Conference (competitively),” Maggard said. “Yes, that was important and then when you look at the geography, it just made a lot of sense.”

No matter how small ULM, LA Tech, and Louisiana's fan bases are respectfully, the same principle applies as if you were splitting LSU in three.

Guarantee you they're thinking the vitriol and pushback theyre getting from this decision will translate to "rivalry" ticket sales

…YOU ARE RIGHT ON THE Money ….think about the name …..We will be the same knocked UL twins when speaking of UL and Monroe …..all pre and post game coverage will be ull or UL Lafayette …every recruit will see our name as the extra L ….we fought this damn thing for so long and we have just urinated away all the progress …man this is so frustrating!
