Tulane is a private and is not the University of Louisiana. Stop being stupid.

Tulane's official name is The Tulane University of Louisiana.

Tulane's official name was the University of Louisiana when it was a public school from 1847-1884.

Okay, so you were in 1884. Now you're private, thus not the University of Louisiana. Shut up and move on. The whole University of Louisiana argument you cajuns have is completely moronic. ULL, ULM, Tech and Tulane's arguments over it are the dumbest thing.

Your response left me completely scratching my head, honestly. Who exactly are "you" Cajuns?

This is a why no one likes LA Tech. If it were up to me, Tech would be UL-Ruston. Really, if it were up to me, we'd take all the money we dump into that place and give it to UNO.

I like La Tech! It's going to be a conference rivalry a long time coming (and they know that better than anyone). They have many alums in DFW as most schools in the CUSA West Division do for that matter.

Amazing enough the beginnings of a this budding rivalry got started with La Tech alum Dwayne of Minden's Bulldog, Barks & Bytes message board, right Hog Dog and tech88?

BTW...where is D.O.M.?

AndreWhere, you are a complete mess. Were you born with this unfortunate personality, or did you have to develop it? You should be a man of your word and go away as promised.

I was thinking in terms of LA when I said nobody likes Tech... but point taken. UNT and Tech do seem to suffer from the same strain of anti-USM overenthusiasm. And Tech's alumni do scurry off to DFW when the lights come on.

I wonder if all you Lady Techsters know that there's a JC system calling itself "Louisiana Technical College." I believe they have a campus in the fragrant, USM-loving town of Bogalusa. Doesn't that just stick in your craw? That's like the exact same name as you!

It was developed. Believe me, I'm counting down the days until I become worm food, too. Every time those oxygen masks pop out, I feel a little rush of hope.

AndreWhere, you apprently suffer from CSBMPD (conference smack board multiple personality disorder) so reveal to all of us if are you more Golden Eagle or Rajun Cajun?

Eagles all the way; ULL and UH are distant runners-up. LSU is up there, too, although I'm more observer than fan. I actually liked Tech until their fans arrived. I totally get their angst... but they lost that battle back in the late 1990s, in my opinion.

The only real boner, uh.......Hog Dog, Tech88, etc, etc, etc........that I have for La Tech is the year we went down to Ruston, beat yalls favorite college football team "at your house" 41 to 14, were even ranked as high as #16 that season when polls were only "Top 20" polls while finishing the 1977 season at 9 & 2 and then WALA!!!!........2 weeks after our game with yall it was your school that got an Independence Bowl invite while we stayed home.

And please....not the "not enough traveling fans" card because we had taken right at 20,000 fans down to Austin to play UT in a regular season game in a prior season and it takes about the same amount of time to get to Shreveport as it does Austin for most of our UNT constituency. I know without a doubt we would have taken more fans to a bowl game, right? Even more amazing that I'm still thinking about this all these years later, eh?

Note: I truly think after that Indy' Bowl snub that Fry started looking for another school for him and his coaching staff to move onto with one of those assistants being present Kansas State U Coach Bill Snyder. Matter of fact, Fry and staff would leave for Iowa after the very next Fall of 1978. Note II: Fry said a few years ago at a UNT homecoming that had his Mean Green football teams received bowl invites that he would have stayed at UNT and built the program to even higher heights. (In fact, I think he would have built an Apogee'esque sort of football palace back when a new on-campus stadium should have really been built had he stayed).

Obviously, had there been as many bowl games back then as there are today, 5 of Hayden Fry's 6 North Texas Mean Green teams would have gone bowling; of course, we might have lost him even sooner to Iowa and the Big 10, too!

We owe yall for that 1977 snubbing, La Tech'sters, and we aim to get even......... at some point in time! LOL!

For the record, that 1977 UNT football team was very, very good. It was truly a BIG TIME team.

Fact is, North Texas St (as you guys were known then) probably did deserve the Indy Bowl bid that year, but LA Tech got it anyway, and subsequently beat Louisville 24-14 in the 1977 Indy Bowl. Tech's loss to N Texas was it's only loss of the 1977 season.

Dwayne still hangs out on BB&B a lot. Not sure why he's not visiting this site. However, with all due respect to CUSA, most LA Tech fans like BB&B much better than this board. There's a lot of silliness going on here.
