Tech=no bowl

[barisaxman]

OMG!! The Indy Bowl chairman just said that they even wrote a letter of recommendation to CUSA on Tech's behalf AT THEIR REQUEST to help them gain admission...MAN, talk about being ungrateful _____#0LES!!

It continues to mount for La. Tech....

Oh c'mon. Since when did being "proud" of your team become "arrogance?"
Team sights get the extremes of the fan base, y'all know this.

If anyon is arrogance, it is your boy James Davidson!!

Why am I thinking that we did not ask the NO BOWL to send a letter to CUSA even with a little comparison of what we did for them in comparison of the TECH INDY relationship----They do so much more than we ever think of and that is what upsets me with the conference situation!!!

Boomer, is this a serious question?

The New Orleans Bowl was setup for the Sun Belt and added CUSA affilliation ... ethically they cannot do this!

HOWEVER, since the Indy Bowl had reps down here that REALLY liked the CAJUNS, I could see them (Indy Bowl) writing a letter to CUSA stating they misspoke, they meant to recommend the CAJUNS!

I haven't read through all the Latex bashing threads, but I just wanted to put something out there.

Why would a 3rd place team from a weaker conference be more deserving of a bowl bid than the runner-up team from a stronger conference?

Please slow down on the bashing. I haven't been able to catch up on my Ragin' Pagin reading. Damn work gets in the way.

And to further your point. Why would a 3rd place team from a weaker, dying/lameduck conference be more deserving of a Liberty Bowl spot than the champion from a stronger conference that is one hour away from the bowl, fresh off of a 7 game win streak, and fresh off of their de-facto conference championship win where they blew their foe out 45-0?
I don't buy their AD's talk one bit. I think these guys had a slim shot at Liberty.
In addition, why would the Liberty Bowl want to match up one current CUSA team against a soon-to-be CUSA team? These guys will probably match up next season. Where's the appeal in that?

Tech's response. I am not sure if this was posted somewhere else on the site.
