It is sad when our fans allow themselves to be provoked by Monroe fans.Originally Posted by ChuckK3
I'll tell y'all, I expect certain types of behavior from children, the adult ignorant, and those incapable of understanding.
I'm more disappointed in more than a few TECH fans, who...apparently...deep-down, REALLY believe that we still are playing 1AA ball. I expect ignorance from a fan base that has never been there before, but I DO EXPECT an individual with a degree from Louisiana Tech to UNDERSTAND that everything is not always what it might appear, and to have a little faith in THE PROCESS. But a larger-than-i-thought percentage of Tech fans are still in a 1-AA mindset.
REALITY: Tech already has an invitation to a bowl game. We aren't at LIBERTY to say where at this point, because the bowl committees are swapping, switching, and trying to make their game a better draw, better TV ratings, and to appease the conferences with whom they have contracts. THIS IS A COMPLICATED process, and it has to work itself out.
While we're sitting here with an invitation in hand that we can't really talk about, along comes this Indy Bowl thing, to which literally all we can say is "no thanks" ... and all hades breaks loose. The ignorant react predictably, but it was obvious to me last night that we have a LOT of Tech folks still stuck in that 1-AA mindset too. I literally could do nothing but shake my head at some of the posts last night...again, not from ULM posters...they have an excuse, they've never done this stuff before. Tech folks? INEXCUSABLE.
Truly a shame.
