ULM knows their place in Louisiana and NCAA football...cant say that about La Tech.


frick you're right. Tech needs to scrap this idea and realize they need to be playing the likes of McNeese and Northwestern and then sell themselves out and play a bunch of money games. I mean they have sucked, do suck and will suck for eternity so why in the hell are they spending $20MM dollars in order to attract better recruits and more fans? Boy am I glad you set me straight...I'm going to see Dr. Reneau tomorrow and I'll tell that son of a bitch that Louisiana Tech University has no damn business trying to improve athletics. Someone needs to tell him to look 30 minutes down the road at ULM so Tech can follow their lead and aspire to move down a level.

I'm both an LSU and La Tech fan, and just an overall fan of Louisiana and it people. What are you, besides the obvious, an idiot...

The design looks great except looks like they are going for a retro (60s-70s)

Tech, unlike the UL twins, has some supporters that have deep pockets. Davison was going to put up the bulk of the money to keep the Saints in NO after Benson talked about moving the team after Katrina.

Nice to see they are improving things and doing it without state money.

Davison, Karl Malone, Terry Bradshaw, Trace Adkins, and Kix Brooks could probably pay for the expansion by themselves without having to do any fundraising

I was wondering early if Brooks and Atkins would or have chipped in. But Malone gave a lot of money for the new court at the TAC so I wouldn't fault him if he gave little to nothing for this one. Although I do think he will give

First off, I'm happy for Tech and wish them all best as far their athletics goes...

I've always thought that if Tech was to get Brooks or Adkins to perform at the halftime of a football game they might do a little better on generating more butts in the seats

Looks like they finally get rid of the hills, which would be a small sacrifice fans will have to live with

Oh absolutely but that'd never happen. Kix doesn't have much appeal with Ronnie and while Trace has been to games recently, I couldn't see him performing.

And yeah the hill is scrapped and the spirit of 88 has been moved to the middle of the sidewalk behind the goalposts.

No. They've raised 9 or 10 million of the 20 million they need. I would guess they're going to wait and get a little bit closer to the 20 mil before they start construction

The lower level of 1-A...basically 1-AA. Tech is no better, yet they think they are...so is ULL. They all have 1-AA facilities and are money games for the big boys like LSU.


Thats correct, its wrong to have aspirations to be better.

You sir, are a moron.

No matter how much money Tech spends, it just doesn't work. They tried so much harder than ULM over the past four years, but look at the two teams' (and other FBS shools in Louisiana) records:

LSU 40-13
ULL 22-28
ULM 20-28
Tech 20-30
Tulane 13-35

Everything Tech does amounts to nothing.

I didn't realize that was what they were trying to do. It seems to me that they are just trying to improve their facilities, just as the school has done

Tech knows this.

Why do LSU fans constantly have to say idiotic comments like "Tech will never be AS GOOD AS LSU!!!" or "DEM DER TECHSTERS ARE BUNCH OF PUSSIES!!! YA!! GEAUX TIGERS!!! TIGERBAIT!!" everytime someone just mentions Tech?

What the frick has Tech ever done to LSU? Nothing. So why constantly put them down? Let Tech try to improve their athletics.
