Further, Tech wanted in I-Bowl on Thursday night, no matter the opponent.


Where are you getting your information from? I'm getting mine from players and people working for the football team. So I'm calling out your "factual misinformation"
What I was told by them is they turned down the I-bowl and this was over a week ago. Whether that means they turned down the official offer or made it clear that we wouldn't accept I'm not 100% positive.. All I know is it wasn't much of a surprise to the students/faculty that we aren't going to the I-bowl. Tech has said all along that we want to go to a different bowl and not many people want to go back to Shreveport. It is unfortunate but Tech will probably have a bigger turn out at the HOD than the I-bowl.

And pardon my ignorance, but why would he be upset about them turning down the I-bowl? Is he a sponsor for that bowl or something?

My information is unfiltered. Richard Wright is no James Davidson, but he is a big deal. CEO of Advocare.

To sassyav regarding where I got my information and you called me out over it. Now that it's over, I can now tell you and the other Tech fans that my information is first hand because I serve on a Bowl Selection Committee. There were statements made on the MSB by Tech fans that were completely not true and I tried to tell you that. I feel horrible for the Seniors on the team. The egos of a few people in Ruston caused this and there was no reason for that. I have been a member of TD for a long time and don't post much. However, I will not hesitate to post when I see statements that are outright false, which I saw last night. Again, I feel horrible for the Players, they deserve much better from the AD.
