The only bottom feeder sport in the WAC was a fluke year in baseball, ironically with a veteran team. If we succeed in a much stronger WAC, I think we would do just fine in the much weaker Belt. You might be a little stronger in baseball but remeber the WAC has the national champions. We just finished 2nd in the WAC with a bowl win, we won women's softball, we won track and field, and won the wac in womens basketball. men's basketball is back on the rise and who knows whats going to happen in baseball because the coach really needs to be replaced. It doesn't look like Tech sports are crumbleing but getting better. Unlike other Louisiana schools, Tech has gone out and spent money on good coaches while ULL continues to wallow in last with its bad coaches. And lets face it, all of you want to feel superior to the Belt. It's a starter conference and all of you would be lying if you said you wouldn't jump at the chance to leave for a better opportunity. I mean really Western Kentucky is barely in the belt and they are already looking to get out.

Why are you on here trying to convince us of how succesful Louisana Tech is? In all of your major sports you would finish in the middle or toward the bottom of the Sun Belt. Quit using your conference as a reason for proving how good your school is. La Tech contributes very little to the WAC.

The belt is a way stronger baseball league than the WAC. Didn't Tech lose to Belt teams in Basketball this past season. Football barely beat a bad NIU team in a bowl game. Womens Basketball would get crushed by MTSU, UALR, WK, ASU, and South Alabama. Don't us the WAC as an excuse to why you would be better. The belt is the fastest growing conference in the NCAA. To bad Tech won't be apart of our success in the future.

I would have taken FAU over La Tech if they were to have played this past bowl season. 4th place FAU took on the 3rd place CMU and beat them IN Michigan while La Tech played in Shreveport and scraped by a 5th place NIU that baaaarely got into the bowl picture.

The only two teams from the belt we have played in basketball since getting a new coach was ULL and ULM and and we won all those games with pretty bad teams I might add. So how exactly in basketball or in football are we being owned by the belt. I don't need to convince anybody. The record books take care of that. and I wouldn't say the belt is a WAY better conference than the Wac. Slightly better maybe but hardly WAy better. I don't recall a national champion ever coming from the Sun belt. ULL is the only real credible team in the belt with a little help from UNO but even that was years ago. And I am so happy to see that you are hanging your hat on golf, a sport I am sure gets absolutely no funding.

Don't forget you're basketball team played UALR and lost.

Oh yeah forgot they were in the belt. and they were pretty good this year
