"La Tech" is part our brand now, and I've completely embraced it. Who cares what they call us, so long as they're talking about us.
I agree with this. We don't have an identity crisis. Louisiana Tech, Lah Tech, or L A Tech all mean the same thing. Frankly I don't care if they call us LA Neck or anything else. We don't have an identity crisis like some schools.Quote:

If los Angeles tech were a thing anyone had heard of you would almost have a point. If they played FBS football you would really have a point. Fortunately you don't.Quote:
