No WAC stroke. Not in CUSA yet.

Take the Independence Bowl. ULM sits at home because I seriously doubt that they/ESPN would want a Tech/ULM match-up. No TV's.

That sums it up!

Really, Tech deserves better than such losers. I always thought it was DR that was the root of all problems. It turns out that he was just playing to a moronic audience.

I have confidence that any attempt by BVDV to cut a deal with Indy would have been vetoed anyway by Tech's gatekeepers that continually protect Tech from idiots like you.

We have found the enemy and it is YOU!

The real point, LFR, is not who we woulda/shoulda/coulda played! The real point is not even the school's reputation or the gatekeepers' (as you called them) opinions! The real point is that those boys did what was asked of them and they won enough ball games to go to a bowl. Because Bruce was too dumb or too cautious or too something to get duped by the Liberty Bowl folks, those boys don't get anything! They are the point, not which bowl or which team we hate! If the so called 'gatekeepers' you speak of will come out and be real men to that group of young men and tell them what you are saying, then I will give them a thumb's up for their integrity. But since they won't do that, how do you or anyone else explain it to a 20 year old that he is sitting home because his AD was too stupid to get something in writing???? Life lesson???? That's sad! Even you have to admit that!

thank you!!!

Coach was in on the bowl talks. He wouldn't let his players down on a whim.

Guess we need to retire this thread. We know the answer now.

The bowl picture is pretty bleak.

Roy Lang III @RoyLangIII
Intrm #WAC commish Jeff Hurd to @ShreveSports: Sat., Liberty Bowl exec director gave Bruce Van De Velde guarantee @LATechFB would get invite talked to Liberty Bowl officials. They plan to comment on claims made by Van De Velde, #WAC commish soon. Story on website when they do Van De Velde: Louisiana Tech originally had a written agreement with Liberty Bowl saying bowl would select Bulldogs if Iowa St not avail Then Saturday, @IndyBowl gives Van De Velde ultimatum. He says he has to call Liberty to get commitment or "I’m going to go to the I-Bowl.’ Van De Velde: "That’s when the Liberty Bowl said to me, ‘Oh no, we’re going to take you regardless.’ And then, on Sunday, they changed.’"

Find some more threads where you can post that. Better yet, write it on a sign and run around Ruston!!!
