I have absolutely no way, no way, to confirm it but a close source tells me that Ms State will not be playing in Dogpatch again.
Better rethink that, EE. Mississippi State has to play in Dogpatch every other year on its SEC West schedule since Dogpatch is squarely located in the Ozarks.
Only Dogpatch I ever visited was the one between Grambling and Monroe in North Louisiana, home of La Tech. That is the one I heard Ms State will avoid.
That's too bad since yours is the overwhelming minority of one opinion.
Either that or he is just a real bitter loser with way too much time on his hands

You must have done a poll.
The most accurate one possible...a census of how many posters on this board use "Dogpatch" in a failed attempt at insulting Louisiana Tech. The count is one...and holding.

I followed with a census and found that only a very few posters on this board, except for La Tech guys, have ever been there.

So, since you're been there, you're saying you're a "LA Tech guy" huh, EE? Welcome aboard. Anything's got to be better than that craphole you live in down in BR.

If your prior posts are to be believed, you had to count yourself in that number. And you are definitely not a Louisiana Tech guy.

No, I said only a few posters, excluding Tech fans, had ever been there. I am one of the few who had. By the way, why get your feathers so ruffled because I did not say one negative against Tech. I am talking about the one horse town where they reside but they cant help that. By the way, I made my usual pass by last week while on business in that neck of the woods and your SEZ project is coming along well although not as big as I had expected.

It is 3 stories high and enormous! Wait until you see it up close at a game.

Looks like a lot of loft, attic, walkways, stairways, breezeways, fluff and puff instead of usable floor space. Weight room on first floor stretching from side to side is two story high which reduced remaining usable second floor square footage considerably. Standing in weight room 1st floor looking up you see bottom of third floor. Wonder why weight room wasnt designed as 1 story allowing for a second floor overhead adding a lot of room.

You don't understand the layout concept so that the second floor has windows from the assistant coaches offices that look down into the weight room and out onto the field. It has a team meeting room, position meeting rooms, coaches offices, staff meeting rooms, new training room with upgraded equipment, doubles the size of our weight room and a new locker room. It is a football only building.
**According to the USM website, the Duff Athletic Center is 60,000 sq. ft. Our SEZ project is 70,000 sq ft.

I was only commenting on the fact that your SEZ has a lot of loft space, fluff and puff, looks larger than its actual usable square footage. You seem to want a comparison between it and the USM facilities so I will be brief.
Our Duff Center is in the North End zone and was completed several years ago at a cost of $11mil. The state provided $2.5mil and the rest was donations. That $11mil in those days would be comprable to your $14mil for the SEZ. Tech N end zone is empty except for scoreboard.
SEZ, your South end zone project, is being built for $14mil and made possible by about a $9mil bond issue to be paid off by a student facility enhancement fee. The USM South end zone project was $36mil, none of which was paid for by students fees or taxpayer funds. It was private donations and to compare your SEZ with that structure would be laughable.

you might think it is laughable, but your coaching staff doesn't. I know all the one's with Tech connections and they have all expressed a concern that this will give us a leg up in recruiting. That and beating them the last couple of years.
But hey! you know it all when it comes to what is wrong with Louisiana Tech

Yeah, I am worried about our coaching staff. They are so concerned about this a counselor comes in daily to try and cheer them up.

I say we kick out Dr. Guice and Tommy McClelland and let Eager Eagle replace them. Like you said, he knows EVERYTHING that's wrong with Tech so I'm sure he has great ideas of how to fix everything and make us the next Texas, Alabama, or Ohio State. Please save us from ourselves oh wise one.

Listen up oh thin skinned ones. Reread my posts and show me, if you will, anything I said that was WRONG with La Tech. I am not saying it is wrong to have only a scoreboard in your North end zone nor am I saying there is anything wrong when your SEZ only cost $14mil. nor is it wrong to refer to Ruston as our modern day Dogpatch. Notice please that I am talking about RUSTON, not La Tech.

You're always looking for a way to snipe at and bad mouth Tech or Ruston. I don't ever recall you saying one positive or even neutral thing about either.
