re: Musings from La Tech BBB

Here is a history lesson for the young guns that I find interesting.

In 1996 Notre Dame was playing for a chance to go to the fiesta bowl but lost there last game of the season to USC to finish 9-3. They got offered a spot in the Indy bowl instead and turned it down because they thought they were better then that. This was Lou Holtzs last year coaching at N.D.

In 1997 Notre Dame went 7-6 leading to another Indy bowl invite to play " gasp" the 9-3 Lsu Tigers. They had to except the invite, rolled into Shreveport and didn't score a Td getting stomped by Lsu 27 to 9.

So now La Tech at 9-3 has done the same thing Notre Dame did back then. So does la tech think they equal Notre Dame now because they don't. Notre Dame at that time was an end of an empire. The fall of Holtz and the Irish to only now recover this many years later. It was wrong what n.d did and its wrong what La tech did and both should have known their place.

My final point is next year La Tech when you have a new coach, young team, and go 6-6 or 7-6 in a tougher conference you might be begging for an Indy bowl invite and you need to know where you standing college football.

Learn the lesson Notre Dame did back then and don't turn down any bowl bids unless you know for sure there is some place for you. What Notre dame did was a slap in the face to Shreveport and the Indy bowl and now you have done it. The difference is you did it to a market that you always complain does not support you and you would love to have their support.

No wonder Shreveport is an Lsu town and y'all don't get to bitch about it anymore.
