Tech/ULM football series
Posted on 8/22/09 at 8:32 am
Posted on 8/22/09 at 8:32 am
ULM recently decided to cancel all series with Tech, obviously in response for Tech's being afraid to play ULM in football. We all know that Tech views itself as a CUSA school, when in fact it belongs in the Sun Belt and nowhere else. Tech's worst nightmare, for some reason, is to lose to ULM. This makes no sense because no matter what happens to Tech, nobody on Earth gives a shite about Tech; this will always be true.
Being that Tech, whose travel situation is already difficult in the barely-contiguous WAC, doesn't get to play ULM in any of the non-revenue sports, do you think a ULM/Tech series will reappear on the gridiron?
:hoping:

Don't bring logic into this

You seem pretty bitter. Did you graduate from ULM?
LA Tech seems to be doing pretty well without playing ULM. Decent football team. Tier 3. I see them being talked about more and more lately. Why change something that seems to be working?
They're playing Home and Home's with Southern Miss and Houston in the near future, I saw in the paper. That's better than ULM, IMO.

So true!

I've tried not to respond to this thread because this topic really pisses me off. Having been born and raised in Monroe and grew up going to NLU games, I know how great this game was every year. I absolutely hate LA Tech. It is the way I was raised. I like to see them lose every game they play. If you know anything about this university and you are not a fan, you should know about the unsubstantiated arrogance they have. These are my true feeling about them, but I do have common sense. Currently they are a better program moving in a better direction than ULM. But this is only since Dooley arrived, meaning their current improvement is only three years old. To hear them speak you would think it is decades old. I believe ULM would have beat them in 05-07. Has Tech been more successful in IA than ULM? Absolutely. ULM had no plans when they moved up and it took a toll within a few years. Being Independent is a death sentence unless you are ND or Army/Navy. If you look back, ULM had some success early on. Beat Kentucky, Miss St., almost beat Auburn, BYU, and played well against others. They also got humiliated as well. I haven't looked, but Tech can probably say the same thing. Should ULM & Tech be playing every year? That is a stupid question. There would be nothing but positives for both teams if they renewed the rivalry. Tech absolutely is a Sun Belt team. I don't have a problem with them wanting to do better than the Sun Belt. I do have problem with them thinking they are better than the Sun Belt. No one believes they are except them. The Sun Belt is getting better every year, Tech would only add to the improvements. I think ULM should look at Tech to see how they are improving their program. They have a great young coach, they're improving their facilities, they're being proactive. It seems ULM is in a state of content. I believe Weatherbie is a lame duck coach this season. His contract runs out after this season and I don't believe he will be resigned unless he has a winning season and goes to a bowl. I could keep going, sorry this is so long.

Tech is not afraid to play ULM. Louisiana Tech recently offerred ULM $325,000 to take a bus ride to Ruston and play Tech. ULM refused. Explain that.
I really doubt that LSU fans are very interested in Tech/ULM cyberspace "battles". They have bigger fish to fry in the SEC. Hopefully one day soon, Louisiana Tech will have the support and success LSU enjoys on the field.
Thank you guys for letting me support my school on your forum.

ULM apparently knows how to get more fans in the stands than Tech does. Two of ULM's home games last year outdrew any of Tech's home games.
ULL is playing Southern this year, and it likely will outdraw any of Tech's games this year.
Looks like Dooley isn't all he's cracked up to be. If Tech is "going in the right direction," why aren't the fans going to the games?
