Go Dawgs !

I was In a store today in Bossier and the guy behind the counter saw the Louisiana Tech logo on my shirt peeking out from behind my jacket and said, “Go Dawgs”. I smiled and said, “Go Dawgs!” and stuck out my fist for a hardy bump.

It also happened a few days ago at Tractor Supply and last week at Shane’s Restaurant. Then I started thinking how it had happen at least five or six other times within just the last month or so, and that’s not counting the “Go Dawgs” I always get from MARKETDAWG whenever I go into his store for something awesome to throw on the grill. I can’t remember anytime in past years when this happened as often as it is now.

I usually keep pretty much to myself (my kids describe me as ‘generallly not liking people’), but I am committing to, from now on, saying, “Go Dawgs” to anyone I see wearing any kind of Tech gear, and I’m hoping to help make it spread. Anytime I’ve been with DogtorEvil he always yelled his favorite, “How bout them Dawgs!”, and I guess I just didn’t think about it much, but that’s all about to change.

Has anyone else experienced or noticed anything like this, and if so what do you think caused it and how can we help it spread?

When I'm traveling (on the road, airport) I tend to wear Tech stuff like a polo, hoodie, cap. I've been approached a few times with a "go dawgs" or "HBTD".

If someone is wearing Tech stuff, they have a connection with the university.

Happens in Tyler and Bullard,Texas quite a bit.

Saw a Louisiana School (for Math, Science, and the Arts) student decked out in Tech garb this morning. I made the bulldog hand thing, and added a "woof! woof!" She smiled and said "Go Tech!" So I spoke with her for a moment. She will be majoring in engineering at Tech starting in the fall. Smart young lady.

Had on my La Tech hoodie going through the craziness that is Chicago O'Hare one day. Tap on the shoulder, "How Bout Them Dawgs?" I turned and grinned...American Airlines pilot, aviation graduate.

I thought, your passengers are in good hands, Bulldog brother. BARK ON. :)
