    I agree and really hope Dan was listening. I also thought it was interesting the Bruce did not say anything about Sim when talking about our head coaches.

    I did as well. I had forgotten about that until you brought it here.

    I think he was surprised at the fans' response when he was introduced. I'm not sure if he's used to getting standing ovations with the way he tried to motion for everyone to take their seats.

    Great event. I was blessed to be to be there. A lot of hard work ahead, but we are up to the task!

    Technically, they did not mention 12 of our 16 head coaches....probably because they can't quite remember all their names and sport...LOL! They only mentioned SD, MW, TW, and Hungate's ex Gary Stanley that has both Men and Women's track.
    If they don't want to just band aid and have Southland conference budgets or lower in those sports trying to play in WAC, they better step it up now for CUSA or can get even more embarrassing. Question to be seen within next few years is, will they?

    This, this, this!!!! I can't wait to finish grad school and finally start giving back monetarily. I hope the money is put to good use as well...

    One more thing. I got the slight impression that this was a crowning achievement for not only the university and athletics, but also for DR. His reflection on his early years as he opened almost seemed like a story a retired grandaddy would tell his grandchildren. 25 years?

    We don't have 16 head coaches. Gary Stanley is our head coach for 6 sports.

    Now that was a great event! I thought I was gonna have to have this lump in my throat surgically removed. Banowsky is the kinda guy you just can't help liking right off the bat, really glad he made the trip!

    I think any warm body not named Benson would be fine with everybody.

    Yes, this is a perfect time to re-evaluate every sport and determine what needs to be done to improve it. Our goal should be to field a CUSA top four team (at the least) in all of them and then dedicate the resources needed to do it.

    La. Tech did this the right way. They really showed the country how appreciative we were to join Conference USA. When you see this much emotion and ceremony, it makes the Commisioner and the league feel that they are special and they really are. Saw some other acceptance speaches video in this thread and we were hands down the most excited and the way we did it was totally awesome and out of the park !!!! I hope San Antonio realizes how fortunate they are to get in on such short time.

    That about sums it all up right there! Banowsky was clearly impressed with us. I think Louisiana Tech is now ready for launch!

    Quick questions: Other than Coach Dykes (saw his picture in the gallery), what coaches attended the announcement?
