I can't believe those people gave that guy a show. He offers NOTHING to talk radio.

First and last time time I'll ever listen. I didn't realize he had a show then. I listened to Aaron and Nick this morning instead of Fletch cuz I was curious about the spin they were putting on the JUCO mess. Then Waldrop came on talking about how C-USA and the Sunbelt are "low DI conferences" like the SWAC. I couldn't make up that kind of ignorance.

A quick Facebook search yields that he attended Southeastern Louisiana University but he is decked out in purple and piss in photos. Why do y'all put up with that bull in NELA?

My commute lasted about thru the end of the Viator interview.

We try not to...

Peeve of the day.. Dumbass head coaches.

referees that call late hit out of bounds on plays where the player was not clearly out of bounds before the hit was made.

i propose a rule change: paint the entire length of the sideline 12 inches wide. if any part of the player's body is still inside the outer edge of the stripe, a hit is legal. you can't expect a defensive player to be watching the runner's feet when trying to make a play on the sideline.

Also, the offensive player was still engaged with our defender. Either a hand pushing on a jersey or face mask. On several plays anyway.

Yeah, if you're tangled up, sometimes you are going to fall down. I understand why they are strict on the sidelines calls, but sometimes it's over the top.

Maybe our guys are still being shown the tape of when Patton faked going out and then kept running against A&M in 2012 and they're just careful.

My peeve is message board trolling and the resulting touchiness anytime a fan from an opposing team posts.

We don't have to kiss up to anyone, and we don't have to accept smack talk here, but good grief. Sometimes we really pile on. And I really wish some Tech fans would just stop posting on the ULL and Sunbelt boards. Why is that worth doing?

Who do you feel that we piled on? There is certainly an accepted way to enter an opposing forum if one chooses to do that. Starting a thread with compliments (no condescension please) and explanations of why they are here usually works out well. Even some who come over to flame are accepted as great fans of other schools.

People like Statboy are usually given a lot of rope, but it doesn't take long for them to go from a fan of another school to a hater of LaTech.

Okay this is a whole football season peeve. Why doesn't our official web site publish a numerical roster? I sometimes make one from the alphabetical one but it takes a lot of time. When you're at a game or watching on TV you normally look at a number you're not familiar with and want to know who it is quickly. But no, you have to scroll a long list until you see his number. Do then even have a numerical roster in the program?

Houston Techsan - Just go to the roster and click on the "No." column header and it sorts by number. You can sort the roster by Number, Height, Weight, Year and Position.

Thanks. Now if I just remember this next season.

People that drive with highbeams on through fog, especially thick fog.
