Tulane owns La Tech in football????? Wow. That's like being owned by Vandy. Ouch man. That is some crazy bad timing for when you've played them. They totally crap the bed when we play them. Punted on 3rd down once! Glad they're the AAC's problem now. Love New Orleans. Tulane can fricking die!

True, Tulane shouldn't be included unless we are talking academics. But they are 9-0 all time against you. You guys need to get them on your schedule now, you have a much better football program then they.

We'd love to, but Tulane is #Scared

Crazy that you guys don't play. You guys have played LSU more than them.

Tulane should be a mandatory game for both groups. I simply can't fathom how both teams have managed to only play let than ten times. They should want to play us. It seems like every time we play them not only do they end up beating us but the go on to have good to great seasons. We would certainly travel to New Orleans to play down there.

LA Tech has only played Toolame twice in the last 80 years in football. The first time was when Tulane had their undefeated team in 1998. The 2nd time was in 2013, which was Tech's worst football season in the last 20 years, after losing 32 seniors from the 2012 team.
The Greenies definitely deserve credit for good TIMING. Wow!

Greenville Sucks!

Much rather live in Ruston than Greenville. You come over here to disparage Ruston but your university is located in a cesspool.

[b]You are the tallest midget in Louisiana, congrats. So if we take Greenville and put it in Louisiana, it instantly becomes the richest city in your state. Holy ****. And I will never claim Greenville to be some beautiful, rich city.

[b]I'll focus on "wealth", this is going to hurt:
[b]Ruston: The median income for a household in the city was $23,001, and the median income for a family was $37,394. Males had a median income of $33,408 versus $20,413 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,573.

Greenville: The median income for a household in the city was $28,648, and the median income for a family was $44,491. Males had a median income of $31,847 versus $26,324 for females. The per capita income for the city was $18,476.

[/b][/b][/b]

Congrats ECU is the 14th best college in North Carolina
ECU and Greenville Sucks!

This is going to hurt: Guess what the best college in Louisiana is?
So much better than ECU

Here is some more fun facts:
LaTech Graduation Rate: 47%
ECU: 58%

So 1 in 3 live below poverty in "Rich" Ruston and and less the 1/2 graduate from prestigious LaTech.

It's not difficult to graduate from a Junior College like ECU.

More nonsense. Well done, stay true to who you are.

Nope. Played in 2013, 1998, and before that, the friggin '30s. You know, when Tulane was in the SEC?

Now, immediately following Katrina, they did use our stadium for one game. They "hosted" UTEP at the Joe. Since the Dome was damaged they had to play all games off campus. They used the Joe, Independence Stadium, Tiger Stadium, Cajun Field, Malone Stadium, and Ladd-Peebles for one "home game" each. Maybe that's what you're thinking about?

Here's links to two separate sources, but there are others. You can do your own homework from here. You're a big boy.

http://cajunradio.com/what-is-the-riches...ver-guess/

"So, what’s the richest REAL town in Louisiana? That would be Ruston. And that kind of surprised me, to tell the truth. I thought for sure South Louisiana had that one locked down. But the stats show otherwise.

The information in those links are not comparable. Some figures are for entire city whereas others are just representative of specific sub divisions or neighborhoods. Most recent census figures disclose the per capita income for the city of Ruston is $17,479 and median household income at $29,560. These averages, although low, are boosted greatly by the professionals at La Tech who enjoy salaries considerably higher than the approximately 22,000 other citizens of the town. State of Louisiana median household income is $45,727. Anyone can interpret those figures as they like.

Typical tit for tat. You guys ask for a proof source, so I sent you two. And of course, being the delinquent ahole that you are, you're still not satisfied, and you're attempting to discredit the sources. NOT MY PROBLEM!

By the way, both links are comparable. Even you can read that in BOTH polls/links, the TOWN of Ruston is clearly stated as being the richest TOWN or city in the state of Louisiana. Period. And that's exactly what the LA Tech poster said initially. What you probably don't know is that it's been that way for a very long time....because I remember these same rumors (about Ruston being the richest town in Louisiana) way back when I was in school.

Sorry to disappoint you with more good news about Ruston. But you'll get over it.

Here is a bit more info, notice they back their conclusions with statistical information rather than "rumors". Shenandoah, La being the only one mentioned in this state is rather surprising.http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/the-richest-town-in-every-state/ar-BBBddkD?li=BBnb7Kz#image=BBBdhy8|19

My mother lives in the Shenandoah neighborhood and no its not even a municipality.

I thought an endless thread about merging with the Belt was boring, but an argument about the economics of Ruston, LA tops it.

Well, who started the discussion about Ruston (Dogpatch) being the richest town in Louisiana? These Dogpatch boys are born with certain misguided information embedded in their DNA, as I say a lot of info reaches Ruston by smoke signals which is disrupted by a lot of hot air.

Has EE ever posted ANYTHING that wasn't anti-Tech? Guess he didn't get accepted.

I would not have posted except to comment on an outrageous statement. The problem you Dogpatch boys have is that no one, in the past, has challenged the stuff handed down by your ancestors in order to attract attention. Simply providing FACTUAL AND OFFICIAL information that contradicts the claims does not make me anti-Tech.

Just when we thought this thread was down and out it picks up a second wind.

I am just now reading this thread, so sorry for the late post. If EE is the biggest Tech hater, LCF runs a very close second. LCF is the ONLY poster on this and related forums to give me neg rep, and it is a lot. Not that it matters as this is only a message board. I have never given positive or negative rep on these conference forums or dots on BBB, even to LCF. I did give him a neutral as I had to enter something in order to respond to a comment he left on my "rep rating thing."

Eager Eagle is a "former Tech administrator?" That is interesting to say the least. Wonder what his beef is? I am "old school," but in my experience it is "very unDude" to be critical of a former employer regardless of the circumstances.

It was when I lived there, not that it was because of me. Lowest unemployment rate, also. I don't know about now. The demographics of Ruston have changed considerably.
