Put Tech in the SEC.....

Dude that is so stupid. Put any school in the SEC and they would eventually start recruiting better talent and then yes start winning more games. Give Tech an SEC budget to improve facilities and build a fan base of an SEC school and soon all that changes in time. Right now its like comparing apples to oranges so stop being so ignorant.

Tech would need a lot more than a SEC budget to improve those facilities.

I cannot think of a better way to waste money than to give it to tech...

As someone that went to both schools and is a fan of both schools that is exactly how is see it. Tech is recruiting better athletes and is on the rise. and I am sorry but I almost felt sorry for Les last night. LSU is heading in the wrong direction. Now will they ever meet in the middle never, but they are heading in opposite directions.

What point are you trying to win idiot. That LSU is better. I admit that and yes why wouldn't a top recruit pick LSU over Tech. I just said the programs are going in the opposite direction but I also admitted they would never meet in the middle. Les is not a great coach. So far he has proven only to be a great recruiter. And he took that trophy on the sheer luck that everyone else sucked as bad that year. He lost two games to unranked teams moron. He can thank everybody else losing for him even being in that game. Do you ever see a two loss team getting in again. I am not complaining because I was a student at LSU and love them but LES looked just sad on those sidelines last night. and that aint good for LSU. And you started this stupid assinine thread about putting Tech in the SEC. Well listen up if Tech were in the SEC they wouldn't have been playing LSU with these caliber athletes. If Tech were in the SEC they probably would be playing in front of at least 50 thousand people in Ruston. If Tech were in the SEC they would be receiving BCS money that would enlarge the stadium and increase the recruiting budget. I mean really where would Mississippi St be if they were in the WAC. Figure it out.

He's saying relative to the past, not relative to LSU.

...But you got some Techsters saying LSU is heading down, and La Tech is heading up

You may be reading too much into what Tech fans are saying. There is still a talent gap between the teams. And, of course, LSU has about 100 x's more money than Tech. All Tech fans are saying is this:

2003: 49-3 (at halftime)
2007: 58-10 (starters played 3 quarters)
2009: 24-16 (came down to on-side kick at end)

How else should we take this?

So, this is a step up?

2007: 5-7
2008: 8-5 (with a bowl win)
2009: 3-7 (so far)

Don't get me wrong, I think Dooley is going to end up being a pretty good hire for Tech in the long run, but it seems like you guys have taken the step back.

It was obviously a step up from 2007 to 2008. We are about the same in 2009 as we were in 2008. We won 3 games that could have gone either way in 2008 and we lost them in 2009. The record looks worse, but the quality of play was about the same. We still need a QB and a playmaker at WR to take the next step... which is winning the WAC.
