Would that really surprise anyone?Quote:

That comment was made assuming the ol' AD would include ALL interested parties in the court design. Yeah, he got the C-USA logo in the design . . . . but NOT the current, newest one.Quote:

The mid-court logo is already growing on me.
Will the same logo be at midfield in the Joe? The image of the field on the season ticket brochure has the LATECH logo at midfield, not the State T.
Personally, I am fine with either. Both are sharp and recognizable.
I prefer the State T but I have no hard feelings against the full thing. Looking great!
I like the two tone stain. Also, no gradient columbia blue to reflex blue lanes, nice!Quote:

FB update from a few minutes ago.
Looks good.Quote:

No Lady Techsters blue? or is it the lighting? The court looks clean. I like it, the LATECH State-T doesn't look bad at all.
I hope they paint the Louisiana Tech wordmark on the outside of baselines.
That looks REALLY good...
Vast improvement
Still wish the center court LOGO was bigger though
What about our football field?
I wonder what the reaction will be if the Lady Techsters BB team hits the floor in reflex blue this year...maybe with Techster blue accents. Just a thought.
What picture has the midfield logo being the LATECH logo? The only season ticket poster photo I have seen has the State T logo?Quote:

Absolutely LOVE this new floor design!!!
Me, too.
Looks awesome!
I think the floor looks amazing. You couldn't go wrong with either logo IMHO.
Classic look. I like it.
Me too!
FWIW, I like everything centered, i.e. Karl's signature, etc.
I will say that graphically, our design team has be knocking it out of the park lately (in my opinion). The court looks great and the website splash pages look excellent too. Now if we can just get latechsports.com to look a little cleaner and less crowded we will really look like a top notch athletic department.
I agree.Quote:

I think you're right. For one thing, the forgot the "E" in front of the "L" and the "Y" after the "A" in the state and T logo.Quote:

The Shreveport politicking/marketing resumes:
“Apparently the scoreboard and I aren’t on the same page. We should be closer to syncing together,” McClelland joked on Friday during a visit to Shreveport to meet media members, radio hosts and members of the Advocare V100 Bowl.
Sounds like he will have it under control and in place by our first game.
Great job by TMac in taking to this urgent need. BVDV had pissed everyone over there off so bad that they didn't want us in Caddo/Bossier parish.Quote:

He didn't have the sense to recognize who he was supposed to meet - while every other 9 to 15 year old kid did -
WoW! What a goof! I am definitely not going to miss that jackass.Quote:

Pop. It looks like you joined the board in January 2019 and made your first post in 2024 in a thread that petered out in 2013.
What’s up with that?

speedy, kyser & applebee’s senior year had some good crowds. Also some NiT games when I was in school (Gerrod Henderson days)Quote:

I have seen a few "standing room only" crowds too, which had the fire marshal been there....well, maybe he was there, just sporting the red & blue and cheering on Tech!
I'll add to the list. The women's game against the U.S. Olympic team in 1996. The Amy Grant concert in 1989. Standing room only for both.Quote:

However, if you wanted to attend the WBB game, and sit on the floor, we would start lining up outside Memorial Gym between 3:30 and 4pm. Most of the time, we would be talking to friends, hanging out, and even occasionally, taking books to do homework. But you definitely had to be there early to get a seat. From there, it would be packed and so loud for the WBB, the refs would blow their whistle and play would continue because the players couldn't hear it. Such great memories............ when the HC of SFA would walk on the court, the Tech band would play "The old gray mare". The coach would just die laughing. Back then, it would Old Dominion that was likely our biggest rival. I remember my dad and his friends would actually drive from Shreveport to go to a game, and it was only for the experience as in truth, they weren't that big of basketball fans. But he and his friends would meet us after the game, take us to eat, and we would just talk about how loud it was in the gym for the entire game. Those were fun times back then, and oh how I wish we would get back to that.......... but sad to say, won't likely happen.Quote:

Techsters blasted Delta State by 30 pts, something like 95-65 and we never looked back.Quote:

We took that as a compliment. We made a Nebraska player cry and walk off the court...we did! Didn't limit our abuse in WBB, we were even rougher at men's games. A UNO player charged at us and had to be restrained by his team mates and security guards. An Arkansas State player hurled a basketball at us and got rung up with a "T." We were asked to tone it down or we would be escorted out...
Fond memories...:shocked2:
Hey, Wednesday night games, Saturday AFTERNOON games just don't provide the best opportunities for our 70-mile radius crowd to attend hoops games.
Thursday nite & Saturday nite games presented the best opportunity.
I never missed a single home game during the Malone years, made some road games too. I made most of the home games after Malone left, from 1986-1991, we were still very good, and I was still young enough to make the 140+ mile roundtrip over lousy roads at night. Tried to make at least 7-9 home games most years even during the leaner years. But now, it's a chore to drive at night, even if I take Hwy 84 to Winnfield and use Hwy 167. Now with the games on ESPN+ I prefer to sit home in front of my 81-inch big screen TV (I see there's a 95-incher out...hmmm.) stay safe and enjoy the games.Quote:

Wednesday nite to me is just as easy as Thursday - maybe better cause that frees me up to eat steaks at Carter's Corner on Thursday nite in AthensQuote:

Basketball court idea…….in large letters, paint
WE WIN UNLESS IT MATTERS
House of cards collapsed last night. Zebras didn't help but it was mostly an implosion of the team. Missed a ton of FTs when it mattered...no surprise there.Quote:

Chavez was MIA
Got pounded on the boards - and guards sucked at the FT line
Batcho got exposed by their bigs and he couldn't make a shot from 2 feet
First time Western has won in Ruston since 1998 - let that sink in...
I still say for the most part our bench is very limited on the X & O side of things - Lutz coached circles around him
Heard through the grapevine that Chavez was out for personal issue. No idea what or if true.
That's what the TV guys said, Chavez missed game for "personal reasons." No details provided.Quote:
