Used to be Louisiana Tech!

Or just Tech if you’re into the brevity thing.

I think they should have already decided and had a state resolution passed by now.

I think they're probably trying to disassociate themselves with the misery of Ruston by invoking Los Angeles.

I also noticed on their board the other day that they constantly refer to us as LA State. I think it's supposed to be some sort of slight.

Louisiana Tech is the name. Tech short. LaTech is used for Athletics.

Personlly i dont know why they care so much about how its pronounced. Since its a state abbreviation, L-A is fine. Just as Georgia is G-A, or florida is F-L. Nobody pronounces those out. “Lah”Tech just rolls off the tongue better. But its not as big of a deal as they make it.

Yep, it's just Tech. Like Mississippi State is just "State".

Well, people on this board freak out over the most trivial shite. I remember some years back a guy freaking out over Brando(?) referring to LSU as "Louisiana State". You just never know with a fan base that in a perpetual state of rustlement.

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 wouldn't go calling out another fanbase for posting inane shite

L-A Tech vs LaTech

Both wrong. It's "Louisiana" Tech.
