    Re: Do not understand IBowl?

    If I read one more comment attributing this debacle to Dykes, I'm done with this forum. It was the AD's job to get us in a bowl. We had a 9-3 record and lost to teams with a COMBINED loss total of 6. That is less combined losses by opponents than just about any team in the country. It's not a threat (like any of you cares), but I will be avoiding this forum and focusing on basketball going forward. See you in Natchitoches.

    Are you a Tech Alum on the I-bowl committee?

    So ESPN or I-Bowl thinks Ohio or any MAC school will bring in more viewers, much less 1/10th of the fans, a Tech team would. That's funny

    If this is so then when the I Bowl formally invited NLU the bowl totally wrote Tech off. So, if they wanted Tech, why not get Ohio Saturday and give us the time we wanted?

    Exactly. I wonder if the I-bowl felt snubbed by our delay (maybe they think we are beneath them) and offered ulm in spite. And once ulm was penciled in, were we effectively blocked from later accepting the I-Bowl bid due to TV requirements?

    Of course, the media (Shreveport times, etc.) would spin this as us declining the bowl because we are afraid of playing ulm.

    Totally agree.

    This isn't SD's fault. That's just crazy.

    Re: Do not understand IBowl?

    The question still remains that the I-Bowl will NEVER answer (at least nto honestly) Why did they JUST HAVE TO know Saturday night??? Ohio was going NO WHERE. Almost EVERY bowl in the country waited until Sunday why couldn't they??

    The I-Bowl was scared Ohio might get snatched up for another Bowl


    Quote from
    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...velde/1741769/

    "Van De Velde said he received a call from Missy Setters, the executive director of the Independence Bowl, on Saturday during halftime of the Oklahoma-TCU game. Setters told Van De Velde that the bowl needed an immediate decision. Van De Velde told Setters that he was still waiting on other opportunities, and that he wouldn't know how the Liberty Bowl and Heart of Dallas Bowl would go until Sunday. Setters replied that if Louisiana Tech wasn't ready to move on Saturday afternoon, the Independence Bowl would take a MAC team – Ohio.

    PREVIOUSLY: Louisiana Tech could crash BCS party
    "We had played there in 2008, and the sponsor is a graduate of Louisiana Tech, so I thought they would wait for us," Van De Velde said. "We all agreed we wanted to wait, so we said to them, 'We don't want to turn it down, but we need time to see how this plays out.' "

    Re: Do not understand IBowl?

    Yeah Ohio was gonna get snatched up. Some of us are blaming Sonny for us losing our last 2 and saying THAT is why we aren't bowling???? Ohio lost their last 3 and last 4 out of 5 and they are going bowling. And on top of that they aren't going to travel worth a shit. The I-Bowl snubbed us. Plain and Simple. Ohio wasn't going anywhere.

    Yep, none of this makes any sense. Sure has the appearance of some I bowl agenda. Otherwise, wait until Sunday, do what's best for the bowl. We were snubbed for some reason for sure.

    Snubbed? Seriously? Two facts are indisputable.
    1. The I-Bowl extended an invitation to La Tech
    2. La Tech is not playing in the I-Bowl

    Now, since the I-Bowl sent the invitation and is hosting the party, you're upset that they dictated the terms of the RSVP. Guess what? It's THEIR party. Tech took a gamble and lost. Period. They should have accepted the invite when offered. Period.
