Or is there that big of a separation in your mind?

Just look @ the results of signing day. That is all you & the "recruiting trailers" need to know. Enough said!:laugh:

Yeah, bot it works for us. We have name recognition but not as much as GA Tech or VA Tech.

Only four known Techs right?

Texas and Georgia get the full name because of only two syllables. VA and LA needed some shortening.

I didn't like it at first, but it needed to be done.

If some random person refers to it as LaTech I won't correct them. But I'll still bitch at tv announcers for doing it :icon_wink:

Cal Tech - that was shortened.

Tennessee Tech - not shortened but has that double "T" thing going.

Always seems to bother me more when we're losing and the announcers won't shut up about LAAAAA Tech.

Anyone remember when Doug Evans said "The University of Louisiana Tech" on MNF? I got a kick out of that.

The one where you finished five spots ahead of us and neither one of us finished in the top 85.

Hey, you guys signed a great class, I'm pleased with our class as well. Tough to talk football smack, because you guys have been better than us for a long time. I'm pleased with our new coach and the direction we are going.

We will see where we end up.

A little off the subject, but I have a genuine question. What ever happened with the Baldwin lawsuit?

We won in appellate court. They found no discrimination. I think the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
