Not from LA, don’t care about the team. As an outsider I find their fans annoying.

We are giving money to LSU every time we get a pay check and they are getting more than Tech is even if our children or ourselves are attending Tech. Do not ever think that LSU does not screw Tech, as well as ever other school in the state
Amen!

I would have thought the Alabama game would have been the CBS 1:30 game.

Most people don't care for them because of their protected status through La. politics. Louisiana Tech hasn't prospered as well as deserved because of unequal funding and too many 4 yrs in sparsely populated N. La. partly due to protecting LSU from competition. Louisiana Tech and LSU should be more along the equal status of Georgia Tech and Georgia. So, dislike of LSU is more political - and certainly not illogical nor irrational.
I certainly hope your loyalty is not divided. Graduates of any school that supports another school over their alma mater is abominable, IMHO.

LSU/Bama has been primetime on CBS every year since 2011

Do you make all the Tech games?

If there was a degree that was offered there that my son needed, I’d pay for it no problem. Have no problems with the school itself. The Walmart fans are a different story. They are the lowest form of life on the planet in my eyes. So when I wish for LSU to lose, it has nothing to do with the school itself. I just love seeing those pathetic losers act like their worlds coming to an end. What a bunch of pathetic parasites.
You nailed it. If you went to LSU and you cheer for your team, more power to you. And I get it; the whole culture, the mystique of LSU and the connection to South Louisiana. It seems this wave of North Louisiana support LSU coincides with increased TV coverage and even more so into the Digital Age.
But woe to the traitor who gradutated Tech and sports LSU garb and rah-rah-rahs for LSU. They ought to get at least an asterisk on their brick on campus. :)
If we could ever play LSU at a neutral site, or (really dreaming) get a home/home set, without SEC refs, I like our chances. But I think a unicorn will prance down Tech Drive before this happens for the reasons frogdog stated.

I see where Tech is Mississippi State's homecoming. I'm going to watch the Troy-LSU replay to, you know, stay full of sunshine.

Moo State found itself tonite, as did Fitz. Of course, opponents always seem to get "right" when it's time to play us. They also play defense as well, or better, than anyone we've seen, including LSU and UAB.

With the offense Alabama has you are probably safe this year. I do not believe the opening point spread though, Alabama -14.5. Seems a little high to me, but we will see.
Re: 11/3 @ MS State - 6:30 PM on SEC Network
I hope we find Fitz easier to tackle than FAU’s Singletary and Whyte. I have some doubts.
Re: 11/3 @ MS State - 6:30 PM on SEC Network
I’m just hoping we have a healthy RB after the game is over. Our read no option offense might get them plastered. If we score 17 points, I’ll be shocked.
Re: 11/3 @ MS State - 6:30 PM on SEC Network
If I’m coaching Smith for this game, I turn him loose to see what he can do. “Go make plays son, this is your chance to prove them wrong.” Don’t worry about INT’s, or turning the ball over. Just go out there and make plays and have fun. Our conservative offense WILL NOT win this game. Period. The defense can only hold for so long. This game was written down as a loss by most to start the season, so we have nothing to lose. Turn them loose and see what they can do.
