Wow. I had no idea they would practice on Xmas day. That's dedication!
...Tech's first bowl game since 2001 and only its third since the program joined the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1989.
Well it looks like somebody is really proud of this little snippet. It's the second time I've seen it.:angry:
Dooley said it at the I-bowl announcement party on the news

Independence Bowl Pick: Louisiana Tech 30 - Northern Illinois 20

So, two weeks off since the Nevada game, and then another few days off....in reality the "month of extra practice" everyone touts is actually a 1 1/2 weeks of extra practice.
Question: could Tech have practiced the week after the Nevada game, or did we have to wait for an official bowl invite?
So, there is no rule preventing bowl bound teams from beginning practice immediately after their last regular season game?Quote:

Actually, in the interest of competition, Belch teams should be ordered to practice more!
Cheap shot alert! :D
