    Random Observations

    Academy Sports in S'Port, Bossier, and WM was a pre-game show sponsor.

    Tech went 11-1 against the spread this year. An 8 game streak of covering the spread (after Hawaii) would have turned a $25 wager into $3200 if a person "let it ride".

    I bought a lot of Tech stuff from Academy this year. I hope they get some new and interesting things soon though.

    Lou Holtz is normally a topic of conversation at the expense of his speech impediment, but I've heard MUCH more about his performance during our bowl game than ever before. None of it has been positive. It's time for ESPN to get him out of the booth.

    I kept trying to figure out what he was looking at while the cameras were on the announcers? Mark May and Joe Tessitore were looking at the audience, Lou was staring down the whole time. Was there an episode of Gunsmoke playing on one of the tv's or something?

    They were in a hurry to get off the field, out of respect for TCU, and the presentation of the Bowl trophy. The thought crossed my mind too...but I understand why they did it now.

    Dave said toward the end of the game that they were going to be pushed for time to make the flight. If we had won or OT?

    Stopped in Academy WM after lunch today. They aren't giving Tech a chance to sell. Equal amount to nlulm stuff. Gobs of lsu stuff with lots of toothless people buying it.

    San Diego has a Noise Ordinance and flights can not leave the airport after 11:30, so they were crunched for time. There were two flights for the team, staff, cheer, Reneau & Co., etc and they were wheels up about 11:00 and 11:15 respectively.
    If there had been OT they would have been looking for hotel rooms for another night.

    Re: Random Observations

    I don't see enough official LA Tech license plates around. So I may have told the lady at ANC Auto Title in Shreveport that if the folks on the Tech message board knew she had LA Tech plates they would sell out in a week. She said the plates came in boxes of 10 so I told her to order a box and then me and Mrs. Chip bought the first 2. She has 8 left. Mine was to register my new pickup, but Mrs. Chip just changed her plate which was only about 6 months old, and it only cost $27 after showing her current registration and insurance card.

    Yep, I remember seein' you pass by on Coursey Blvd all the time!

    Of course I've got my Texas LaTech license plates on my car. I got 'em the first day they were available, and my old one from Louisiana is still in my garage as a souvenir!
