It seemed like more than 2-3, but I may be wrong. They were loud regardless (for their number).

Then again, I don't remember half the game anyway.

1. They are afraid to play ULM. Certain sell-out.
2. They are afraid to play ULL. Likely sell-out.
3. They won't play Grambling. ULM proved this will sell a 30K stadium out.
4. Tech is too busy wet-dreaming about a C-USA invitation that will never come instead of doing anything to put asses in the seats.

Because LSU plays on saturdays during the regular season. When there is nothing better to do in shreveport, quite a few LSU fans will go to the indy bowl to tailgate and take in a game.

I would think a team like ECU would get it before Memphis.

this is the biggest reason, I think. Tech doesn't have very many casual fans that would choose them over LSU. They have 10,000 or so die-hards, and that's about it.

41.5K was ticket sales, may have been more that 30K in attendance IMHO

It's realistic to come up with pure conjecture saying that Tech is scared to play ULL or ULM? Get the f' outta here
