LA Times: LA Tech is change we can believe in

[Dawg06]

I keep forgetting about our other hometown newspaper.

Los Angeles Times: Louisiana Tech and up-tempo offense: Change football can believe in

[Guisslapp]

Californians will believe in any type of "change" you sell them. Tis a very silly place.

Who needs TNS and The Shreveport Times? We get almost as much coverage out of the LA Times.

And notice they use "Louisiana Tech" in almost every reference. There's honestly no chance it can be confused with Los Angeles Tech (whoever that is)

That was a pretty fun read. I would love to see the center 63 screen in person (but only if we were up by 28 points with less than 2 minutes left).

Tech scored 57 on A&M.

LSU, Florida, Miss St, and Ole Miss COMBINED for 58.

Good story

Have you noticed that no newspaper has ever used "LA Tech" in any reference?

No reputable journalist ever will. I've tried to explain this to the marketing folks in the athletic department. The AP style -- which almost every newspaper in the country uses -- for Louisiana is "La." not "LA." If Louisiana Tech is going to be abbreviated in print, it will be "La. Tech," not "LA Tech." My information, however, has fallen on deaf ears.

Someone send to our local papers.

Exactly. I've been beating this drum for a while.

GREAT article!

This is a cool article and I hope people don't wake up. Let them keep playing the way they are and we'll just keep winning. Thank you very much.

Excellent article that was well-researched and presented. As many of us have been saying, Louisiana Tech is more known and respected outside Louisiana than inside.

Here is a motto - "Louisiana Tech: The Other 49 States' Team"

I'm not so sure letting the secret out is a good thing. Not that it's a "secret", but I'd rather other programs agree with Saban and look at Tech (and Oregon) as some kind of faddish freak show.

Of course, if it were to happen that both Tech and Oregon crash and burn in some big bowl game, the naysayers are sure to say "told ya so."
