Apparently you dont know it but the difference between Starksville, Auburn, and Ruston is the first two of these are home to schools identified as STATE universities whereas Ruston is home to one of EIGHT regional state schools. Each of these eight have their own immediate local fans whereas Ms State and Auburn are statewide. Tech is on I-20 but so is Grambling (5mi away) so enough of the interstate stuff. You have nothing but your opinion in order to state La Tech and ULL are the only schools other than LSU that has any potential (check out the ticket sales for McNeese, they usually beat both La Tech and ULL in fan support). And, the research campus about to double the size of La Tech-dont hold your breath. Just like your end zone project that has fizzled. I hear they have put it on hold, dont want to spend the architect fee on a project that is on life support due to inability to raise the funds. I hear there is a revised plan developing if you are interested.

Let's get the McNeese St stats correct eagle. First, their stadium sits only 15,000 period. Second, their last playoff game at home a whopping 12,000 showed up, so they have more fan support? They do travel well to in in state schools and of course LSU. Because most of them have LSU and McNeese St window decals. Let's not mix opinion with facts ,McNeese State has a good fan base but they ain't outdrawing anyone in the SBC expect ULM.

------------------------------------

Fiscal year 2010 La Tech had $987,715 ticket sales & took $8,678,000 in taxpayer support, McNees sold $1,210,221 in tickets & took $3,549,000 from taxpayer, ULL sold $1,486,070 & took $6,524,028 from taxpayers. 2009 shows ULL sold $1,149,602 in tickets, took $6,221,345 taxpayer support, Mcneese sold $1,006,009 using $3,900,000 taxpayer money, La Tech sold$1,646,699 in tickets (includes Independence Bowl) and used $8,560,000 taxpayer support. 2008 ULL sold $1,331,730 & took $6,066,000_La Tech sold $865,028 & took $8,114,039 tax money-McNeese sold $1,134,877 & took $3,509,000. 2007 La Tech sold $837,585 tickets, took $6,378,058 taxpayer support-McNeese sold $800,221 & used $2,863,000 tax dollars, and ULL sold $1,194,955 Using $6,111,017 tax dollars. Looks like McNeese is showing Tech and ULL the way using less that half as much taxpayer money. These are figures from recent years, McNeese led more than one time in prior years but I am not going to the trouble to look those up.

So in 2010 UL sold $1,486,070.00 and McNeese sold $1,210,221.00, UL sold $260,000.00 more than McNeese.

WTF, Eagle? Are you here to purposely make yourself look like and idiot.

His typical repsonse when he gets caught mixing in his opinion with actual facts. He is your typical D*$%^bag tiger fan that can't accept other state schools getting anything after LSU sucked on the state's tit for 70 years.
