Payback La Tech.....You guys stole one in Arlington earlier....Or should I say the refs stole it for you.... UTA wins 63-60....
I can see how a UTA fan would feel like we, or the refs, stole the game. I've felt that way many games we've lost. That UTA game could have gone their way with just one different call. I think I know one he is remembering.
The road win at UTA was the game I consider a turning point in our season. Lose that one and it could have significantly different. We have a young team and confidence to win on the road is very important. We have gained that confidence now.
Welcome to the WAC buddy, if you cry over every game you think you lose b/c of bad officiating you will be crying alot! WAC refs have to be the worst crew in bball so get used to it.
Does anyone know about what minute and or half gibson gets clocked?
I'm not sure if this is what you want...Brandon took an elbow to the head in the Utah State game in the 2nd half with a little over 6 minutes to go in the game. After Alex Hamilton made Brandon's two free throws, the DAWGS only scored 3 points the rest of the game. The last 3 points by Raheem was the margin of victory.
That's what I wanted to know. Thank you.
I really hope Tech packs the TAC
A true 4K will be a great crowd. Grow from there, keep winning, and we might be able to announce 5K just before the USU game.Quote:

I'm going to try and make it to the game
We need Tech athletics to promote this game on campus like a mid-day Pep Rally, meet/greet players, basketball shoot for prizes, etc.
Updating the bullentin board in the Tonk isn't working.
You mean that little sign?Quote:

Bringing at least 15 from Haughton for the "Faith and Family Night" promo. Good job by Logan Lewis of calling to let me know about it, then emailing publicity for me to use. Hope to get at least 5 more.Quote:

Student excitement is very high right now, expect an awesome turnout by the student body.
UTA is 4-0 on the road in the WAC (2nd best in the conference). We were very lucky to pull out the win at their place. Hopefully we will bring our A++ game.
The foul at the end of the game could have gone either way, BUT, UTA never should have gotten the ball for that possession. The player throwing the ball CLEARLY stepped over the line and back before throwing the ball in. I saw it. I was there.
yepQuote:

That is great. Love the behind the scenes stuff.Quote:

I've had some basketball recruiting stuff this year. The two high school guys and a local 2014 player who visited recently for a game.Quote:

So I know, those of you who don't subscribe presently to BTB would you pay if you knew this was happening weekly (football and basketball)?
Do you have a senior discount, AAA discount, LTAC member discount, or any other discount?Quote:

No discounts, but did have a promotion during Christmas to have $99 of gear with a year's subscription which costs $99.Quote:

Ironic that none of my kids will be able to attend the Faith and Family Night because they are involved in Spin Weekend over here.Quote:

I want to take my new Pastor...but I need to warn him, he 'bout to see a Baptist go all-Pentecost up in there.
Seeing this being a "Faith & Family Night", I know it's geared towards the Christian crowd....what about other religion? Buddhism? Hindu?
Nah. Big Picture, those don't really matter anyway.Quote:

not cool...not funny...don't be a hater...come see...you might find something Real my brother.Quote:

That post is the definition of being a hater. We have to respect all. I think that will happen, though. Tech has done a good job in the past of making it friendly for all persons - no matter what their beleifs. It might lean toward Chrstianity, because of the area that Tech is located, but certainly resepctful of other faiths.Quote:

Nice! Now, let's get some monitors down there, new food choices geared toward Louisiana, and a new video scoreboard. This looks good!Quote:

I heard we are going to stop at the 10 minute mark of each half and sing three hymns. Don't know if that's accurate or not.Quote:

Um, I haven't seen the promotional materials on this, but it said "Faith," not "Christian." Do Buddhists and Hindus not subscribe to faith?Quote:

Awesome atmosphere tonight! Largest men's crowd I've seen at Tech since the Malone days. The Dawgs played some great defense, the lanes closed up quickly tonight! The bench probably out scored the starters but with this team coach white can only start 5. Can't wait for Thursday night! Go Dawgs!
Yes it was! Took my nephew to his first Dawgs bball game tonight. He is already asking when I can take him again!:) Lets keep this momemtum going!
In post-game with Coach White, Dave stated 11 played for the Dawgs and all 11 scored. Our depth is overwhelming for opponents. CJ had a great game tonight. great atmosphere in the TAC!
Tonight's game was an example that home court advantage is more than just being familiar with the facility. Our crowd got into the game early and that fired up the team which fired up the crowd even more. It was definitely fun.
I brought two TECH grads who had not been to a TECH game of any kind in many, many years. They even bought TECH shirts to wear to the game. I think they may be hooked after tonight.
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
The Louisiana Tech defense forced 20 turnovers and Raheem Appleby netted a team-high 15 points as the Bulldogs extended their winning streak to 11 games by defeating UT Arlington 64-51 on Saturday night in the Thomas Assembly Center in front of a season-high crowd of 5,024 fans.

Best regular season atmosphere since Malone era. As one of the 186 at the end of the Loyd era, all I can say is Hallelujah!
I am sure that my old friend Sooner (also one of 186) can agree.
That was FUN.
