Don't hold your breath. UNT wants no part of the WAC.

BTW, can someone tell me why Louisiana Tech hates ULM so much, and vice versa? Other than recruiting.

I really wish I could tell you why Tech has this animosity to ULM. I've followed these two schools since 1969 when there was a healthy rivalry between the two universities. In the 1980's we beat them 7 of 10 times (including five in a row) and the whole discourse with them changed. Suddenly they stopped renewing the football contracts with weak excuses that we didn't understand....playing us was beneath them (we heard this ALL the time) yet schools like Tulsa, Cincinnati, Tulane, Wyoming, Central Florida, and Memphis didn't seem to have a problem with it. And that's without counting all the BCS teams we played anyway. The logic has never been there and we get irritated with how high they think their nose is up in the clouds, when it's easy to see it is around their kneecaps. In common opponents in the same years (not many but it's happened) we have been more than comparable to the Techies in results...shall we say, mirror-images?

ULM has always wanted to keep the series going with Tech. We don't need to play them but we see the benefits of such games. If anyone from Ruston tells you different about how we view this, they are lying. It is no plainer than that.

I can't figure out what happened the last 15-20 years to give them that attitude and I've been paying attention!

we stopped renewing the contract with you guys when we were whipping your arse and your fans stopped coming to the game. We didnt canceling it when ya'll were whipping ours.
