L-A Tech vs LaTech. I don't know what it means but I'm fascinated by it. LINK

Apparently they do not like being called la tech. As in lala land. They prefer L-A Tech.
I say Louisiana Tech. Simple for me.

My Grandpa is a Tech alum, I've only ever heard him refer to it as Tech or Louisiana Tech. I just find it hilarious that that's on the front page of their football board and has been ongoing for 2 years.

I've only ever heard it called "Tech" by locals. People from out of state call it LaTech, which grinds my gears for some reason. Never heard it referred to as L-A Tech.

Not all of us... I just simply say TECH... if in the company of someone who wouldn't know which "Tech," I say Louisiana Tech... L-A Tech and LaTech are gay.

I grew up in GA, so Tech to me is GA Tech.

Always used LA Tech or VA Tech.

Baby steps.

Louisiana Tech University
They will use the L-A Tech for awhile.
Then drop the Tech and simply be L-A University.
This will morph into Louisiana University (this is a long plan to drop the 'tech')
Afterwards it will simply be LOUISIANA
I saw this movie before
