re: Musings from La Tech BBB

This all results from Tech being in a bubble over there in Ruston, like many smaller college towns, and thinking they are more important and recognized nationally than they really are. Fact is nobody outside of Northern Louisiana cares about Louisiana Tech all that much.

The Independence Bowl still could have brought Tech over. And no matter how you spin it, nothing but arrogance got Tech where it is today. Call it thinking a better bowl was going to come knocking, call it thinking they are above playing ULM, whatever the reason was, it all boils down to having their noses up in the air. The Indy Bowl called them on it, gave them the middle finger by going with Ohio and now Tech has shite all over its face.

And now, Tech is royally screwed. The team is not going to be nearly as good next year. No bowl is going to want to deal with them should they be eligible again in the near future. If Dykes leaves, who's going to want that job knowing that you may end up in this situation after a good year. And, their worse nightmare has come true in that ULM is the up and coming, feel-good program in the region that got more local focus and attention, even with Tech being 9-3.
