I don’t think coach trusts anyone else back there and doesn’t want Veal to get injured.

I’d love to see Smoke back there making plays.

HOWEVER, I like the fact that we no longer let the football hit the ground on a punt, and roll another 20 yds. :icon_razz:

Our HC changed strategies when Trent Taylor fumbled and that turnover led to a loss. Since then he has refused to treat the punt receiving team as a valuable part of the team. While making this silly move he allowed our second most valuable offensive weapon (Carlos Henderson) to receive kickoffs which is THE most dangerous special team position. FWIW, we had PLENTY of guys who could have done as well or better at receiving kickoffs and punts, but they were walk ons. COYHCSH does not like to play walk on guys.

I wonder what Skip would do if he had Phillip Saturday Nite Livas
as a returner. Veal isn’t Livas but he’s pretty elusive

So if I apply Skip’s own logic to his coaching, he shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the football field on Saturday.

Met his parents a few weeks back heading into the Tech - lspoo game. Really nice folks and fun to talk to as we walked.

If Skip had been the coach when Livas was here, we would have lost the Indy Bowl because he would have told Livas to let that kickoff go into the end zone for a touchback.

My prediction for the game (if the dawgs I had the misfortune to watch last night show up):

45-17 UTSA. Our defense scores 2 TD’s and skippy kicks a field goal in the fourth to make it a “respectable” loss

Go Dawgs!!!!!

had a great time in SA and obviously enjoyed the game ( sat on 50 yard line) your post indicates you judged game on one of the worst .. that said we missed 2 RBs - sub fumbled twice and O lineman missing. we will qualify for bowl and hopefully win at least 4 of next 6 ...

Assuming he was coaching only the kickoff?? Assuming he did not understand the talent of Livas ? funniest thing is assuming he does NOT know how to win Bowl game !! oh well , haters gonna hate ....

Apathy sets in on almost everybody at some point (President Trump being the most notable exception). I know several people in their 50's and early 60's suffering from the same thing.

This being said, UTSA will destroy Tech today. This Tech team has quit. Who can blame them.

??? take a brake-- why keep posting when you never right:: #4 offense and defense in league - being in BR has turned you into a Tech hater-- part of it must be embarrassed that Tech held on to 4 minute marker against your beloved Baton Rouge team .... lot of hate coming out ...

Hard to argue when the guy at the top is Coach Fair Catch.

No one that knows me has any doubt about my loyalty to Louisiana Tech. Neither does the Tech administration. Granted, I was totally disgusted by one of the worst performances by a Tech offense that I can remember ever witnessing IN JAS when we played UAB, and I admit that I may have over reacted a bit, but to call me a Tech hater is beyond absurd, and I don't appreciate it. You owe me an apology whether you're man enough to admit it or not.

I've been a member of LTAC at the Champion level for as long as there's been an LTAC. I buy 10 season tickets every year and I give away 8 of those tickets to people that probably wouldn't attend otherwise. I do everything I can to make sure that there are butts in the seats for all 10 tickets every single game. I succeed about 95% of the time. Your calling me a Tech hater bothers me more than you know. And as far as my "beloved Baton Rouge team". You have no idea what you're talking about. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, despises the purple and yellow (I'm one of the few in Baton Rouge that know the difference between gold and yellow) more than I do. In fact, I'm willing to bet that not even you can match me in this area.

Oh please … I bet you dont even have a scholarship named for you.

DS65 is the single greatest Tech fan to have ever lived. He's the effing messiah of Tech fans. Women love and men want to be him. He watched Terry throw 6 interceptions in a blizzard, and HE LIKED IT TOO! If our dear leader DS65 says you are a Tech hater, then by golly, you must be a Tech hater. Game, set, match, end of discussion.
