And it's time for my official congratulations to xiv for starting a ULM vs. Tech thread that extends to eleven pages. Whodathunkit.
And it's going to continue forever until Tech quits being afraid.
They cancelled the series in 1990 because they were "too good" to play NLU (yet the fact that lil' ol' NLU had OWNED Tech for 12 years had nothing to do with it, I suppose), and they are the ones who do not want a traditional, annual rivalry. Nay, they prefer to have traditional, annual rivalries with Utah State, New Mexico State, Idaho, San Jose State, and Reno, all of whom are so much bigger than ULM.
frick Tech with a dick made of AIDS.

"What makes them a huge pussy is that they cancelled the series originally after 1990; NLU had owned their asses for 12 years. And they just happened to want to renew the series in 1997 when they'd gotten decent again. Funny how that works out" - xiv
That is not true. NLU had success against Tech during the '80s winning 6 of the 10 played in the decade. Tech won the last two games of the series. Tech bought out the last contracted game of the series because were playing in the 1A division. Also, Tech has won the last 8 games or so played between the schools and has a winning percentage of about 70% in the history of the series. To say NLSC/NLU/ULM has ever dominated Tech in football is ridiculous.

Tech then spanked NLU twice and pussed out of the series. They then proceeded to suck donkey balls for four years, during which NLU was consistently a top ten 1AA team. Plain and simple, Tech didn't want to lose repeatedly to a 1AA team.
Then NLU moves up and has a better 1A record than Tech for three years. Tech finally felt comfortable resuming the series once they were decent again (under Crowton).
No two ways about it; they're a bunch of pussies. And the only way to prove me wrong is on the field. First at the Joe, then at the Jim. There's no other way.

Tech is not afraid to play ULM. Louisiana Tech recently offerred ULM $325,000 to take a bus ride to Ruston and play Tech. ULM refused. Explain that.

Tech agreed to a return trip, right? Right?
Wow. Your argument is that Tech is afraid to play ULM. You've said throughout this whole thread that Tech is a bunch of pussies and won't play ULM because they're afraid of losing. Ok..now why aren't you calling ULM a bunch of pussies for turning down an offer to play Tech?

"It would actually be your income statement, not your balance sheet. But could you cite some numbers supporting this? Just curious, how many of your conference away games are profitable. Other than probably Boise and maybe Fresno, chances are good it costs more to travel and play the game than is paid to you. I certainly can't imagine a trip to Nevada or Idaho being better than playing ULM in Monroe. No telling what a loss that a Hawaii trip causes." - CalBengal
I read the income/loss statements from athletic of Louisiana schools somewhere a year or so ago. I can't recall the exact figures, but in the cited year (which I don't recall either), Tech's revenue far exceeded the ULx's and income(loss) was comparable to the two, both Sunbelt affiliated universities. So actually Tech's finances from athletics doesn't negatively compare with thos in the Sunbelt and the potential for revenue/profit is much better in the WAC.

Amazing - an endless La. Tech/ULM thread.
Despite folks like choupiquesushi, this is why we have a More Sports Board.

For xiv and other ULM fans: What is ULM doing to better their program? I honestly do not know. I'd like to.

A new set of coaches every few years? I miss Pat Collins.

"One solution for Northeast would be to make it a JUCO. That way it could live up to it's full potential." - arrakis
Northeast was a JUCO. Would have been better for the Louisiana taxpayer had it remained so. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion, and the Tiger fans wouldn't be having to put up with it. LSU has a lot to be proud of. I appreciate them putting up with a "cyberwar" they are not interested in.
Why is xiv so interested in berating Louisiana Tech on an LSU forum? It doesn't make sense, but I can't help defending my university. I've intruded enough on the LSU fans and I'll try to stop, but I am just as proud of Louisiana Tech University as they are of LSU. Thank you guys for allowing me to stick up for my school. I have a vested interest in Tech. I don't see that xiv has a vested interested in any university, so I don't get it.

This is the More Sports Board. This is where we talk about sports that aren't LSU or the Saints or the SEC or fantasy. What part don't you get?

But that's irrelevant. I love college football, and I hate to see a rivalry die because somebody has the wrong idea. And Tech has the wrong idea. In no way does not playing ULM make Tech better, and playing ULM every year does something that Tech cannot do for itself in the WAC--it creates interest for its program.
Tech has a CUSA boner like I have a Salma Hayek boner. But I'm not gonna turn down a 7 because I think Salma Hayek is gonna call me up.

Does NLU ever play grambling? That would put fannies in the seats
