RE: La Tech
Bulldogs no longer being on this board is one of the main reasons it is Dead.
Those guys used to post a LOT here.
Meanwhile, very little from FIU, KSU, and not much from SH and Mo. St..

RE: La Tech
Hope y'all are doing well here!
Our wins have come down to our defense. Our offense is too inconsistent and our special teams were terrible in the last game but a win is a win. Cumbie's resume is looking better after improving last year but I still can't say the team looks good playing and there is still more season to play so we'll see.

Wasn't there a poll done last year about the fandoms here? I think WKU just barely outvoted us for the number of posters.

On the other hand, UTEP is 1-6 (0-3 in the MWC) and their only win is against a bad FCS team.

But you are the Champion of Louisiana, minus LSU.

gotta think that their coach is done following the season
they are probably throwing money at football in order to try to be competitive, and their good hoops has suffered as a result

I rarely post because this website is always a PITA to log into with that stupid captcha page, I usually just give up and don't post anything after a few failed attempts. Plus most MO St fans stick to our board so I usually just stay over there too

You are welcome here as often as possible.
Good to have perspective from different fan bases.
Suggestion (I'm no computer expert--not even close)...
It could be you need to clear cookies for this site, or your virus software setting. I use Ublock origin and Norton. That captcha comes up but either goes away after a few seconds or I check that box and it goes away.
__Maybe someone else here has the solution for your "captcha" Problem.

RE: La Tech
0-6 ULM rallys with 18 in the 4th quarter to beat Troy!
Remember how the pathetic losers of the SBC east like Marshall (pathetic excuse for a FBS school) were so against La Tech joining the Sunbelt?
Now we know why.
La Tech 26 - 0 ODU

RE: La Tech
It should also show the CUSA members how good our league has became. CUSA folks dog the crap out of the league but its as competitive as any other G6 conference.

Proof from La Tech. No way they got that much better in one year.

RE: La Tech
Tech was 8-5 last year and 5-3 in CUSA. They lost to WKU (in OT) and Delaware each by one point. They lost to LSU by 16. Only really bad loss was to Kennesaw 35-7.
Flip those two narrow losses and they are in a three way tie for the conference championship. They didn’t play Jax State so I don’t know what the tie-breaker would have been to get to the CCG.
So they were pretty decent last year. Not that surprising they are doing well so far.
UTEP is doing as badly as they did last year. Still losing, but at least they’re in their natural region.

It would be hilarious if La Tech did win the Sunbelt their first year. CUSA overall is just as strong in football as most of the G6.
Good point about the close losses. But they aren’t leaving much to chance against the weak Sunbelt east this year.
The Sunbelt is overrated. JMU is vastly overrated. Yeah they run through a pathetically weak Sunbelt east but their strength of schedule is comically weak 134 (fourth to last) and has been consistently weak every year.
JMU recipe to success is to play one of the weakest FBS schedules possible and play in the Sunbelt east with weak teams like Marshall and ODU.

RE: La Tech
The first year of Sun Belt hoops for former C-USA members the 3 teams finished in the top 5, and James Madison was in the top five as well, as a first-year school that season.
Marshall and Southern Miss were bottom dwellers the prior year in CUSA, and ODU finsihed 5th in the East.
