2014 Louisiana (20) vs La. Tech (48)

[boxerdog]

It IS highly debatable. Your only claim is USN&WR Tier 1 and you were the last schools admitted when Tier 1 was increased to 200 universities. UL is ranked around 210 and is quickly gaining in the highly subjective rankings. Doc 1!is the real indicator of academic excellence and neither school is there. Both UL and Tech are SREB Doctoral 2 universities. UL is Carnegie rated RU/H as is Tech. UL is a Rockefeller Top 100 Research universities. Tech is not. UL has more PHDs than Tech. UL has more than triple the Research dollars and has more Research than the all UL System schools combined. UL has more than double the Endowment of Tech. And, UL has almost double the enrollment. Quit perpetuating the myth that Tech is academically superior.

I'm not perpetuating a myth, objective sources are ranking the universities. Neither your opinion nor mine matters.

One of the best posts ever. Really. I'm so tired of LaTech misstating the facts.

Broadway and this offense, IMO, are at its best when he is a running option. When they try to get the ball out of his hands to keep him from getting injured, they take a component of his game out that he is very dangerous. Our offense is at its best when he is a threat to run even when throwing. The D line will be key for us as you guys seem to really use the short passing game a lot which means there probably won't be a ton of opportunities for sacks and such. We will have to provide a rush and not lose our assignments in the secondary like we did a couple of times last weekend. I think Tech will have more weapons at the WR spots than Southern so they would make us pay more if we make those mistakes.

I still think we are going to move the ball on Tech as their defense is likely improved from last year but still doesn't appear to have made large strides. I think they are going to be in for a long day to stop our rushing game and Broadway's success will determine how well we move the ball.

Fair enough. OU has a really good offense. In fact, they might have the best offense in the country this year. It is difficult to determine how ULL's offense will fare against Tech based on that one game. I agree much of the burden will be shouldered by Broadway, and his performance. We have been downright pitiful offensively up to this point under Holtz. If you guys can stop Dixon, you'll win the game.

Louisiana's offense will dominate you at the POA down to the last minute detail. Our front 7 alone has more ability than any offensive player you can field. Our boys are more conditioned, stronger, faster, bigger and more prepared then your kids..

We are about 30 doctoral graduates away from reaching SREB Doc I status. We are in the approval process of adding another PHD program which will get us closer to Doctoral I.

Our Systems Engineering PHD program is continuing to grow and we will achieve Doc I within three years of the approval of the new PHD program.

As far as Tier I, La Tech got included when the expanded the rankings. They didn't improve to get there. It just became more inclusive.

So Tech is ULMost as good as Monroe?

Louisiana Tech travels to Lafayette, to take on the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

Tech held its weekly press conference Monday where Skip Holtz, Houston Bates and Cody Sokol talk about the Oklahoma loss and preview the Cajuns.

No, he actually didn't. LaTech is a higher ranked academic institution than ULL. To state otherwise is to perpetuate a myth. If you want to sift through all his gobbledygook, you'll see he's trying to make a claim to equivalence based on variables US&WR utilizes in determining their quotient. Considering all factors, LaTech has a higher ranking. Try again.
