We recruit head to head more often against TCU and The gators have the best chance to beat LSU...
Personally, I wanted TCU to win so we didn't have to listen to "THE SEC IS SUPREME IT'S AN ALL SEC FINAL BLAH BLAH BLAH"
As it is... Geaux Gators
It's really easy now... We are all Gators! Beat LSU!
Might as well listen to it because it is true. As DFM said we recruit against TCU and we are already losing the battles. I didn't want them to get more TV time.Quote:

Baseball is the sport we are talking about, hence my comment.Quote:

I love quizzing our fans on how they root for other college sports teams and how it applies to Tech. I think it was a little before your time here, but it was also baseball that applied to sports in general...It was a Lafayette and lsu baseball series and who did you want to win? Looking though Tech fandom glasses you'd want lsu to win because a Lafayette win would increase the Walmart fan's positive perception of Lafayette's over all program. Nobody would be surprised by lsu winning, so no noise and they remain a sleeping dog for us to have a chance at some day. Of course we had many fans say they ALWAYS want lsu to lose even if it is to nlulm or Lafayette.
I almost always want LSU to lose, but they can beat ULL, that's fine with me! I'm not sure there's a scenario where I would ever want ULOL to win.
I think I've said this before somewhere, but my dream is that (in football) we'll beat LSU in 2018, and then after that all the other La teams (except maybe ULL) start beating them. That way, the perception that they are "Louisiana's team" goes away, but we get to be the first ones and get the biggest boost.
