BB Final: Louisiana 1, Tech 6

[duggie85]

Mean as hell for that guy to bring up something that was tragic and apparently beyond his level of comprehension or compassion. Pray he is never in those circumstances.

Plus, the Leopard stuff was not even official. It was a photoshop thing somebody was just ribbing them with. And so what if the PA announcer called them Louisiana-Lafayette. That is their name.

I'm confident those comments would have NEVER been made if you and the other mutts minded your own damn business and would stay away. JMO

The SID that wrote that should be ashamed of him/herself.

Why? Did Tech actually lose the game?

[stodgdog]

I dont see that info on your link -but if there- is a heavily redacted and edited version of a page that for at least the first dozen years after the law passed had every school's city attached to the name.

No, it is not redacted. If Tech had changed their name, their would be a law stating so. There is not.
Straight from the link provided if you make two clicks. You can do that. Ruston is not part of Louisiana Tech University's name.

If you hate us and our system and our name so much, why dont you start your own system or go back to your daddy's system

I don't hate any of the things you listed. I don't know who or what is "your daddy's system."

The stooge is long on making claims, but can never seem to provide the proof. In other words he is a liar. Remember that 'blurb' from some mysterious 'paper' that he claimed on the SBC board called ulm 'Louisiana?' But he never produced proof it happened, or to even name the paper.

It was one of the very rare times that SBC mods actually did the right thing and deleted his very obvious troll post.

To cover old ground, I sent that to you as requested. Why have YOU been banned from multiple boards? I have not. Why have you? Answer the question as it is a simple one.

You lost tonight to Southern Miss. It's okay, regroup for tomorrow. In fact, I would spend time breaking down your loss rather than trying to justify whatever it is you are trying to justify on another univeristy's message board.

[beaux66]

I agree we should be talking about why we lost tonight. I do believe Wednesday night took a lot of the air out of us. We looked flat tonight. But to be fair, you guys spent just as much time talking about our loss tonight as you did your win over App State.

Maybe not, but that doesn't excuse what was written. We just got through playing a game. Not long ago, it was a friendly rivalry and not uncommon to visit the opponent's board. I came here to see what you thought of the game and found that you folks were complaining about things that had nothing to do with the game. If your school is free to use whatever name you want, we are equally as free to use whatever name we want to call you. You folks created the name game. Tech fans didn't much care about it until you folks dragged us into by making false claims about our name. You folks have been provided with our official seal, the ULS list of official names, the law that changed our name from Louisiana Polytechnic Institute to Louisiana Tech University, which was the last time our name was changed. Tech chose not to participate in the UL@X nonsense, yet you folks dragged us into it by claiming that we somehow changed our name, which we did not nor did any legislative body. The document you folks continuously refer to is not an act that changed the name of any university. If there is a law that explicitly states that Tech changed its name, please provide it.

Dude you really want to stoop that low over ribbing about a name change. Dust yourself off and start over man. That was uncalled for.

It is kinda crooked up there... This reminds me of the shooting death in 1996 of John Lars Elfervig, II.... Actually lived in Lafayette a good portion of his childhood - family friend. Excellent family. Missed by all.

"Louisiana Tech, Ruston, 1996

John Lars Elfervig a member of a Delta Chi fraternity and a guy I only remember by the name of "Big Tony" (a 6'11 behemoth) were retaliating to a prank from a neighboring frat house belonging to Delta Kappa Epsilon by stealing the frat letters out of the DKE living room. Coolie Cates, the son of a Sr local cop, came down stairs and fatally shot Lars in the back of the head some 20 yards out of the house. That's right, Lars was already out of the house and running away from the scene when he was shot and killed after doing no harm and making no threats of harm.

Coolie Cates did NOT go to prison even though he had already satisfied the requirements for homocide. From what I remember, the local cops and DA did almost nothing to Cates after shooting a guy in the head. I believe the charge he got was discharging a firearm within city limits. WTF?"

Ps Back to UL: The Law does not say "Lafayette" is part of the schools name, only that it be added as a written descriptor when the schools name is printed.

Your announcer made a mockery of the law.
