Re: Being called "LaTech"?
It doesn't bother me at all.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I don't mind it, I refer to my alma mater as just Tech most of the time although have to clarify if I'm outside Louisiana.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I know a lot of people that don't like it (including my wife) but as long as it is positive I can live with it.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE IT! I HATE IT! I HATE IT!
We ARE LOUISIANA TECH! The one and only and proud of it!
I don't understand how Virginia Tech puts up with it.
What would you call Georgia Tech....Gah Tech?
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
Every time I hear it in my head, it comes by way of some "butchy" woman's voice. That's the main reason I don't like it.

Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I hate it in broadcasts. Unless we're playing texas tech, virginia tech, or georgia tech, why is the La neccessary? Just call us Tech. I always say Tech or Louisiana Tech if I'm talking to someone outside the state. I will say that recently we've been referred to as Tech more on broadcasts, I think some announcers are finally learning we dont like "La"Tech.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I don't mind La Tech. It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I use it quite frequently. I'd rather be called La Tech than ULL or ULM.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I don't mind it at all. Never saw the problem with it.

My wife actually e-mailed ESPN after one broadcast a couple of years ago! I think she hates it worst than me.
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
I think we won't ever escape it...we got latech.edu, latechsports.com, latechbbb, etc....some time you'll see LaTech displayed on a broadcast.
I liked how Gonzaga embrassed using their short naming convention of the Zags. www.gozags.com .
Re: Being called "LaTech"?
It used to bother me.
I got over it.

I am with the haters on this...
Been in Virgina for 13+ years and have never heard VA Tech referred to as Vah Tech once. Either by the media, their alumni, or even the UVA folks (who hate them more than anyone). It is either Virginia Tech or just Tech.
I do not mind L A Tech though (3 syllables).
