Get ready for more disappointment...
Everyone else gets a Covid year if they want it too. I have a feeling we will have a winning record, play in the CUSA championship game, and be ready to switch to baseball.
Tech basketball had a GREAT finish last season. I'm ready for more. I have found that Eric Konkol's coaching is much more reliable and consistent than Skip Holtz's. Konkol is a better coach. Let's just hope we stay away form the foolish injuries like what happened to Cobe Williams last season (broken hand) just before the CUSA Tournament.
Konkol is fine but he better bring home the bacon this year (conf champ and/or Dance).Quote:

I feel that we will get that elusive NCAA bid this year AND get a decent seed by winning the conference. I even believe we will finish in the top 20! I have VERY high hopes that this will be the year we have needed for a while now. Let's face it, we have been better than about 30 teams that made the NCAA tournament for years now. CUSA needs to be a multiple bid league every year.
Always the eternal optimist...ya gotta love it! Don't ever stop being you, Champion, we need a dose of optimism in Tech Nation.Quote:

One would think the good, ole "law of averages" would have caught up by now and the Dawgs danced a time or two. Maybe this year...
Go Dawgs!
Interesting. LA Tech BASEBALL let me down last year. We literally could have won the CUSA Championship on our own field in our brand new stadium, by simply defeating ODU in the CUSA Tournament. But once again, LA Tech Athletics took a pass on a championship.Quote:

However, when I lose faith in one thing, there is always the next! :laugh:Quote:

I saw a buy one get one deal on tickets for the lsu game in Bossier. The deal expires tomorrow and I saw it for the first time today. Has that been offered for a while if just a day or 2?
If we are ever going to make the tournament, we better hurry before this conference falls apart.
I'll find out 11/15/2021 if I'll be attending another Louisiana Tech sporting event. I have this administration.
