LA Tech AD Speaks

Not sure if these quotes have been posted...not reading the 20-page thread...

quote:
"We wanted a place to play. We've been going to bowl games for several years now and had already been to the Independence Bowl.
"We turned down a bowl in Houston to play in the Independence Bowl (in 2008). After playing in the Poinsettia Bowl last year, we felt the natural progression was to play on New Years Day."
quote:
"We felt like we had good opportunities, but when Northern Illinois moved into the BCS, that trickled down and the opportunities dried up," Van De Velde said. "Oklahoma knocked Texas out of the Cotton Bowl, the Liberty Bowl chose Iowa State, and we didn't have a place to go.
"You'd have to talk to the Liberty Bowl about their selection."
quote:
"We got caught in a situation as an at-large," Van De Velde said. "There were only a certain number of spots, and the two we were looking at were closed off."

Is he on dope? What was he expecting a bid from the Rose?
He should have followed the saying, "It's better to keep your mouth shut, rather than opening it and removing all doubt"

I feel really bad for the players.

So he blames the Liberty Bowl. And he's also said they weren't given the time by the Indy Bowl to let things play out...clearly none of this is his fault. Passing blame isn't making this any better.

Y'all went 9-3 and fricking 3rd in the god awful WAC and yet your delusional fanbase and AD believes the team deserves a New Years Day bowl.

Why does he still have his job?

Yes, lot of blame to go around...
Northern Illinois
Indy Bowl
Cotton Bowl
Liberty Bowl
Gremlins
Murphy's Law
That's about it.

What's your take on that quote kobe?

He should have just kept his mouth shut. What an idiot.
Holding out for a New Years Day Bowl?! Please don't fire him. He fits in perfect there.

He's changed his mind on this. I guess having this many people mock you and call for your job will cause a man to look for a scapegoat though.

As I said on the other thread:
He's like a guy who turns in his notice today because he had a phone interview yesterday.

If you play a shite schedule and lose 3 of them, why the hell would this be the progression?

I'm just glad Iowa state made it in somewhere after getting knocked down...whew
But a rematch against Tulsa, who we already beat this year? Yawn.

Two things wrong with this:
1) Did they not consider the possibility this could happen with the Kent State/NIU winner having the possibility of finishing top 16?
You gotta have a contingency plan, at least.
2) New Year's Day? Really? For La Tech?

He sounds like a spoiled LSU fan. Not sure why so many on this board are making so much fun of him...

Tech had such a brutal schedule this year. Oh why, would a BCS bowl not want them ?...
Ooops, I meant why would any bowl not want them?
