These are great ideas. I completely agree that this would be an outstanding thing to do. My frustration is when people list what they propose to be a major problem, but do not come up with a plan...
I would have to say the greatest game I saw was when we beat Boise State back around 73. It was in Wichita Falls, Texas and the wind was blowing around 30+ mph. Boise State had the wind and went up...
The academic calendar is set up by the Registrar's Office.
When there is not a problem, I do not see a reason to try to solve it. If a student wants to come to the first game, he/she will have a place to stay and it might even require their checking with...
Ask Athletics what they think about Tech Housing. They give athletes special consideration for University Park, they give Athletics ALL the vending machine revenue in the residence halls, and they...
We cannot wait on athletic schedules to be finalized before an academic calendar is set. That is not an option.
We can advertise the fact that the residence halls will open early for the game,...
There was no poor planning involved. The school calendar is set up far in advance of the football schedule being set. Like I said on another tread, in my 30 years at Tech, I cannot remember one...
Located in the Research Park of the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, the $27 million, 70,000 square foot Louisiana Immersive Technologies Enterprise (LITE) Center is one of the most...
I would like to know from whom you got the information that students will not be allowed in their dorm for the first home football game. This is the first time that I have not known the residence...
They "fell on hard times" because they had cheated so much in their recruiting practices that they almost got the death penalty from the NCAA. Northeast paid for those couple of great years by the...
Oh, by the way, I did win the bidding for the ticket. Whoever else never bid on it again. I am now the proud owner of a 1938 Louisiana Tech vs Ole Miss football game ticket.

It was referred to as Louisiana Tech even when it was officially called Louisiana Polytechnic Institute. I may be a year or so off, but the official change to Louisiana Tech University came around...
I never knew that ebay could be so intriguing. :D :D :D :D

I would like to have it to donate to Tech, but I am not going to spend a whole bunch of money. I just gave $500 to Champs, so I have about reached my limit. We will see.

I have never done the ebay thing before, but for the moment I am the high bidder at $51.22. The year of 1938 was the year that my mother graduated from Louisiana Tech so the ticket would be a neat...
I was talking about the people on BB&B thought it was a terrible idea.
Not only do we get top quality young people coming to Tech, but also it keeps a number of people employed for the summer. Many of the food service personnel that would normally be laid off during...
You put your time in and then retire. I will have 30 years in a week and would be retiring except for the fact that I have not yet finished DROP. Plus since I am sick, I am using sick leave that I...
If my perception is correct, Enrollment Management who collected this data has not been a fan of the on-campus living regulations because they have felt that it hurt their recruiting to tell students...
I suggested this a while back also and was quickly told almost unanimously that it was a terrible idea and that it would not make any money. Whatever !!

Just to add one more thing about smoking -- I was over at Willis-Knighton having my 10 hours of chemo treatment when I saw a man who had just had his 31st session of 35 of radiation treatments. His...
It is so sad that people cannot go one day without alcohol. If that is truely the case then I would suggest getting some help. You have more problems than just the availablilty of alcohol on the...
Just to let y'all know, I began my latest and probably last treatment regimen this past week. I am taking four different types of drugs through chemo and having radiation on my leg to relieve some...
