In retrospect, not joining the SunBelt was Tech's biggest mistake. Had they joined, UCF would have too (for a couple of years). Had they joined, they would have been 1 or 2 in that league in football for at least a couple of years, making them more attractive. At this point, staying in the WAC is their best move..boss those teams for a few years.....Sun Belt is going to be tougher. ULL appears to be adopting some of Troy's strategies (find academic casualties and transfers and jcs who are SEC athletes) and work hard with them to keep them in school. I think they'll be 1 or 2 in the league pretty soon. (ULL has used this strategy in the past, but couldn't keep them in school; it takes judgment and work to pull it off).
Tech fans always point to Auburn and USM and ECU when their market is discussed. Yes, Tech, your market is similar, but your team is not...you are closer to Rice, Tulane and UAB in team quality. (and spare me the Sagarins...look at records and bowl games).

Examples, Edison?

Michael Southall? Actually, he was a felon...my mistake.
Baldwin's recruiting?
Look at your last football class? You don't sign 30 qualified athletes, chief. Anyway, that's what I suspect ULL will do...use the niches. That's what a lot of schools do - many of the successful non-BCS.

Oh, so we're going back to 2001 with Baldwin and Southall?...I guess it is in this decade, LOL... you're a moron and have no credibility. We have been through 2 coaches in each sport since that time. BTW, Chief....it looks like we will only have 2 non qualifiers from the 2011 recruiting class.

Take your agenda somewheres else, bub.

Signed 28, 3 count against the previous class and 25 for the 2011 Class. Waiting on 3 at this point to qualify, the rest are good. Fact, not speculation.

Children........stop the in-fighting.

Looks like Tech is still serving the same flavor cool-ade as the dogs continue to lap it up. 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.
[/quote]------------------------------------

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.

You can use all the tax payer bullcrap all you want son,it wasn't even part of the discussion. Bottomline is they didn't sell as many football tickets and you were wrong again! The state money is for the total athletic fund, not just football. Stop being a douchebag when you get caught talking like the typical tank-top nation or broke back cowboy fan.

I have never said or implied that these schools raping the Louisiana taxpayers is illegal. The Board of Regents allows this and seems to think is is unimportant as the schools are having layoffs, cutting programs, etc due to budget cuts. They dont seem to care that the schools have only a few fans.

There you go, we now measure state expenditures by the number of fans each college program can put in a stadium. Spoken like a true TANK TOP NATION Fan. 70 years of sucking on the state's tit, but now you complain about 3.5 mil per year. I would join your outrage, too bad it was missing for the better part of 70 years last century. What a hypocrite!
