As I understand it, the excuse many Tech fans give for not playing ULM is because "Tech is moving in the right direction."

Well, could someone explain to me what part of losing to other crappy WAC teams and playing in a league that consistently only has one decent team constitutes "moving in the right direction"?

---

Tech just lost to a team the WAC picked up from the Sun Belt, and a team who was previously winless vs. FBS teams!

And the student section actually makes Dooley masks.

quote:

---

Tech doesn't play ULM because Tech doesn't want to play ULM... bottom line. They say it is because we are scared. We say it is because it might drum up some interest in their program. You can draw your own conclusions.

---

Both sides are correct.

Tech is scared that it might drum up some interest in ULM's program (and therefore cause Tech to become less popular).

Pussies.

It's still early and things can still go bad, but I see a winning season for ULM this year.

---

Gotta win at least three of the final five to have a winning season. Western Kentucky and North Texas are gimmies; ULL and MTSU are in the title hunt; Troy is the best team in the conference. Big test this week for the Warhawks. If they can pull off the upset, buy your tickets for the New Orleans Bowl (I'll make sure and provide a link in this thread for any Tech fans who want to see a bowl game).

I thought Troy is the Sun Belt's bowl team this year?

Tech looks absolutely awful tonight. This is what happens when you have one team who is too good for their conference playing another team who isn't good enough for the same conference.

Tech is closer to moving down than moving up. Don't believe me? Imagine the WAC disbanded. Where would Tech end up? (It starts with an S.)

Hey xiv go $uck yourself!!!

ULM would never bring out 23,000 on a Friday night

---

That's because ULM has a college football team. High school football is played on Friday night, as we saw last night.

quote:

---

Tech has averaged around 20,000 fans per game this season.

---

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether anybody shows up. I get it.

quote:

---

Keep trying to tell me why Tech NEEDS ULM.

---

When have I said that?

quote:

---

LA Tech Attendance Average (As of Boise Game)

21,169: 3-6 Record

We're doing ok. Winning would be nice though. If we would handle business on the road in Utah and Idaho, we'd be sitting at 5-4 right now.

Next year, Tech fans. But we can't be upset about 2 good-looking National TV games. And I don't think we've ever averaged over 20k for a season.

---

Emphasis mine. Tech is a joke.

Nothing can hide the truth; you're scared of ULM.
