Marshall has never been to a BCS or NY6 so a top 25 doesn’t even matter. Nobody remembers the top 25 rankings especially 15-25.

Same with Tech, Tech had the inside track to the Orange Bowl in 2012 but loss our last home game to Utah State for the WAC championship. We were still ranked after the loss be didn’t matter at all after no BCS

Because that’s what winsepedia tracks and it does paint a good picture as to the overall success of a program. Being ranked in the Top 25 is a big deal but I understand if La Tech fans don’t understand that.

Winspedia also track Series Record

8-0 since 1997

Do You understand that?

Top 25 ranking is nice but doesn’t elevate a program unless you can couple that with a BCS/NY6 bowl.

I have no ideal how many Top 25 Tech has had over the years, but I will never forget Boise State beating Big 12 champ Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl with that statue of Liberty play.

Tech has been in the AP top 25 6 weeks...it's on winsapedia as mentioned at least 3 times now. Your bowl record is most impressive, 3rd out of all FBS teams...of course only 13 bowls but still impressive.

I recall someone bragging that no SBC school had ever been ranked a couple years ago. All of a sudden ULL passes LT is that category and it is no longer relevant. Strange.

That’s awesome. That’s why I asked the question... which still hasn’t been answered. I never claimed Louisiana was better than La Tech. I simply asked why you guys look down on them as if they are the same as ULM? I think that’s a fair question.

When has that happened? You can look at Dawgxas posts and how he has bragged about the ULL baseball program and their history. In fact one time he was responding to you.

Data-Driven AAC/CUSA/SBC Hybrid

"No one cares about women’s basketball or baseball. I would love to see this list based solely on football and men’s basketball. The only two sports that the entire country cares about."

Dawgxas replied:
"Ask ULL, USM and many others on the list. There is tremendous potential especially for a CUSA program to have a solid profitable, ranked and a program that brings in donor contributions. What other college sports has that potential? None or maybe college hockey up north

LSU had total baseball attendance of 450k which would equal 4.5 sold out football games.

It is true that only 10% of college baseball turn a profit by that is more than all the other college sports (including soccer) that will never turn a profit.

Soccer didn’t even make the top 15 revenue college sports."

You're just trying to troll with this topic. If you want to see someone looking down on another program then look at the Sunbelt board and how ULL/Ark.St. talk about Tech. Except it's not looking down but jealousy because we kicked their arses so much when we did share a conference together.

Look, ULL deserves all the praise they get for their baseball success and history with Tony Robichaux. However, when you talk about football and basketball success for ULL you have to "peel back the onion" to see how they obtained that success. I will give them credit for taken advantage of COVID football last year, but that doesn't represent an accurate picture of how good a program is.

If they beat Texas to start this year then I will give them all the credit they deserve. However, last year means nothing to me. Between players opting out, strategic cancellations, teams not playing or playing half a year, etc., makes last year a statistical anomaly.

The more I learn about Louisiana the more impressed I am with them to be honest. Solid fan support and good athletic programs across the board. Then I see on here they have been ranked for than La Tech as well. What gives?

So I will be first to say that ULL has done a great job of turning around their football program and being very respectable now. Where Tech’s sense of superiority towards ULM and ULL together comes from history.

If you go back ten years. ULL and ULM weren’t really different. Both were consistently ranked in the bottom of FBS. When I say bottom, I don’t mean bottom half, I mean bottom 10% of FBS programs. I know before 2012, ULM never had a winning season (and I don’t think they’ve had one since but correct me if I’m wrong). ULL wasn’t much better before either. From 1988 (when Tech moved back up to FBS) to 2010, ULL had 6 winning seasons in total and those were concentrated in the late 80’s and 90’s. They had not gone to any bowl games in that time and they basically sank to the bottom of FBS. In that time period there was joke among Tech fans online of saying UL-Upickem because ULM and ULL were both at the bottom of FBS and you could pick either one and they wouldn’t be that different.

In that same time period Tech had various winning seasons and played in multiple bowl games. Much of the time we played an independent schedule so we didn’t have access to bowl games even though we’d finish with winning records and wins over big P5 teams. In 1999 we were ranked at one point, had beaten SEC champion Alabama, finished at 8-3 but got no bowl games. When we did play bowl games, we played against Maryland, Clemson, Northern Illinois and going back farther in history we played against Louisville and East Carolina. We joined a conference with Boise St, Hawaii, SMU, Tulsa, Rice, a Fresno St and Nevada while ULL and ULM were in a conference together with other teams that didn’t have much success. Tech had winning streaks against both programs at the time and hadn’t lose to either in almost two decades. So go back ten years ago and imagine being a Tech fan. You have a consisten history of success compared to the others, you don’t lose to them, you’re in a much better conference and the two teams you’re compared to have no success and aren’t really different at all. Tech fans felt there was definite separation there and they wanted more.

So why do Tech fans continue to belittle ULL? Well I think it’s just because old habits die hard. Tech fans still see ULL and ULM as the bottom dwellers. Obviously things have changed and ULL has finally turned it around. ULM? Well I’ve expressed my thoughts on them multiple times. I have said that Tech fans would unenthusiastically accept ULL as a conference rival. We have a long history with ULL and the huge north/divide culture divide in Louisiana could be used as a way to market the rivalry. It is a rivalry as you can see how both fan bases hate each other.

One thing that does play into Tech fans’ continued contempt of ULL is their nefarious use of UL, the University of Louisiana name or just Louisiana. By law, there is no flagship on the University of Louisiana system. ULM and ULL are sister schools like others in the system; no school is above others and by law no school can call themselves the University of Louisiana. ULL’s use of UL or just Louisiana is illegal and misleading. ULL is not a flagship and has no right to the University of Louisiana name. Their name is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette or ULL for short. They may claim they can market themselves as Louisiana athletically because of similarities with Texas or Nebraska branding systems but those are flagship schools- ULL is not. The original University of Louisiana is in New Orlean if anyone wants to look up the history.

I will take a shot at that question as a fan of another school and I have zero against ULL. My favorite school in SBC along with USA.

Tech has been more consistent over the past 15 to 20 years. I'm using adjusted records because cheating or getting caught cheating does matter.

Out of the p[ast 15 years Tech had 4 seasons of losing football and 3 of the 4 were 12 to 15 years ago. One losing record in the past 10 seasons.

ULL had 6 with 5 in the past 10 years and all of ULL's top 25 came in a Covid year that in no way would a SBC team be ranked after losing to a moveup in their 4th year of football. It would have took ULL 6 more weeks of winning to even sniff the AP poll in a noncovid season

Exactly just throw the 2020 covid rankings out completely.

Seriously the 2020 shouldn’t even be included considering the P5 weren’t practicing or playing at the beginning.

The preseason ranking means nothing either ULL won 10 games last year by 1 score, multiple close games that ULL luck out on last year. Alot of smoke and mirrors
Well well well. Here we go again with the let’s ignore 202 altogether BS, lolz. The fun fact about that is that the only ones who say it are the ones who had a terrible showing. We ALL faced the same issues last year, just some, like UL, faced them a whole lot better. Not to mention we had numerous games with huge national audiences, and took full advantage of it. Meanwhile the best LTU can claim about 2020 is that they had very few eyes watching their implosion. Oh. Except that butt-whopping by the 5th best SBC team.

Do You understand that?

Well it can be fully understood when one realizes how few games were played during that time period. E.G., kinda why your AD and admin didn’t want to play us last year. Better to keep that old record in tact rather than making it relevant to the reality of today.

I removed all the non-relevant parts for everyone. And here are just a few of the facts about that.
1. The ‘law’ about naming usage is so poorly written it is unenforceable and downright laughable.
2. The use of Louisiana as a stand alone is totally ‘legal’ and everyone knows and accepts this. Well, mostly everyone. Even lsu has pretty much given it up, but not the fine folks from ruston.
3. Tulane gave up the name of University of Louisiana in 1884 when they became Tulane University of Louisiana. But that same trope is still being thrown out there. Let’s you know how believable people are who use it.

It’s been 134 years so time to give up the old Tulane name issue

It’s very weird how every other state can have a ‘University of …..’ and ‘….. State University’ and most also have a ‘….. Technical University’ and they somehow manage just fine. Everyone except Louisiana. That is perverse and let’s you know just how f’d up this state is. But it is very nice to know we have won that whole name battle. Some just can’t accept that yet.

Well, I think eventually Tech and ULL will once again share conference affiliation. We've been in conferences together before and will be again.

I also predict going forward across the board in all sports, sometimes Tech will win and sometimes ULL will win. Going out on a limb on that one, eh.

Agree, mostly on the last paragraph. But it’s both laughable and a little sad that when some of your fans, like dogonit did above, frame it as you will ‘unenthusiastically accept’ being in the same conference as UL. It is the SBC and UL that is in the drivers seat when comes to being in the same conf with LTU.

In fact there is a poll thread on the SBC board of which teams to add from cusa if/when the time comes. LTU is no where to be found in that poll or discussion.

You're a disgusting human being. Anyone can look at the trash you spew on the Sunbelt board about Ruston, North Louisiana, and Louisiana Tech.
You're sick and obsessed with Louisiana Tech and North Louisiana for some reason.

The more I learn about Louisiana the more impressed I am with them to be honest. Solid fan support and good athletic programs across the board. Then I see on here they have been ranked for than La Tech as well. What gives?

I will take a shot at that question as a fan of another school and I have zero against ULL. My favorite school in SBC along with USA.

Tech has been more consistent over the past 15 to 20 years. I'm using adjusted records because cheating or getting caught cheating does matter.

Out of the p[ast 15 years Tech had 4 seasons of losing football and 3 of the 4 were 12 to 15 years ago. One losing record in the past 10 seasons.

ULL had 6 with 5 in the past 10 years and all of ULL's top 25 came in a Covid year that in no way would a SBC team be ranked after losing to a moveup in their 4th year of football. It would have took ULL 6 more weeks of winning to even sniff the AP poll in a noncovid season

Exactly just throw the 2020 covid rankings out completely.

Seriously the 2020 shouldn’t even be included considering the P5 weren’t practicing or playing at the beginning.

The preseason ranking means nothing either ULL won 10 games last year by 1 score, multiple close games that ULL luck out on last year. Alot of smoke and mirrors
Well well well. Here we go again with the let’s ignore 202 altogether BS, lolz. The fun fact about that is that the only ones who say it are the ones who had a terrible showing. We ALL faced the same issues last year, just some, like UL, faced them a whole lot better. Not to mention we had numerous games with huge national audiences, and took full advantage of it. Meanwhile the best LTU can claim about 2020 is that they had very few eyes watching their implosion. Oh. Except that butt-whopping by the 5th best SBC team.

Texas will humble you soon.
That is a possibility. But Napier is one heck of a coach, so we will see.

But one thing we know for sure is that if we do get an ass-whopping it will be from a P5 school with the biggest budget in CFB. Not like LTU in the 2020 bowl game to a 5th ranked SBC team.

And maybe you can explain how on the one hand you scream to the rafters how horrible cusa people are who go on the lowly SBC board yet on the other hand you know every post that goes on there? You need to change your handle to Disingenuous025.

That’s what’s called a red herring cuz she can’t address my post without a personal attack. No I’m not him or cajunfanatico or cajunrebel or any of the others I’ve been accused of. But those names are a badge of honor so carry on.
