This whole thing has a been a fail by North Louisiana football and all should be disgraced except nlu.

Tech always begs for Shreveports support and complains that they don't get it and then pull this kind of crap. Sure the Indy bowl is not marquee but has a good history, is a bowl game, and it would have been a chance to have an extra rivalry game in Shreveport and would have had interest in the area.

Also tech get over yourself. Ulm is and should be a rival. Hell the campuses are 40 miles apart with similar athletic heritages. Really what is wrong with having a rival and not ducking them.

I speak from a unique perspective I went to both ulm and la tech and graduated from la tech. I went to la tech vs ulm games in the late nineties and had a hell of a good time with great crowds at both stadiums. I don't see the issue with them playing and think it should happen more.

Lastly, the Indy bowl should also have some blame. You guys know the drill and know your a low tier bowl. They should have a least waited a little bit for tech to evaluate its options.

Why should they have to accommodate Tech? Wait until Tech gets a shot at a different bowl, and risk getting some leftover team after all the dust has settled? Although, I understand that Tech owns every market north of Alexandria (especially Shreveport)

, and should be accommodated.
