Throwback Thursday Photos
#TBT Back in the 1970s and 80s the Louisiana Tech campus grounds sparkled thanks to the two green thumbs of Supt. Herman Manuel (right). Pictured with him is the Tech Facilities Director at the time, my good friend
Rikki Black. The Joe Aillet Stadium grass turf playing surface was among the finest.

#TBT One of my best followers/friends is pictured in this photo.
Karl Terrebonne personally saved thousands of Tech memories/artifacts (photos, trophies, films) from the dumpster outside Joe Aillet Fieldhouse during one of the coaching/AD transitions.
Thank God he was passing by at the time.
I am so embarrassed I have to remind everyone of this rediculous, careless act . . . rescued by Karl Terrebonne.

Teddy Allen first nicknamed Karl Malone in 1983-84 when I borrowed a @USPS satchel and took this image. First of many great deliveries.

But alas there was no Tech athletic history prior to 2013 -

Great staff! And the best basketball ever played in Tech history. Such a joy to watch a well-oiled machine...5 moving parts...no one part more important than any other. If you can find a video of our demolition of the Pitt Panthers in the 1985 NCAAs...that run when we outscored them 41-10 over about 15 minute span...you will be awed! Perfection.

Can you expand on that? Sounds like there's a real story there. Did this have anything to do with the firing of Larry Beightol in 1979?

No. They and SI did their own version months later.
