The past means nothing to teams coming into Ruston. Sport is a game of "what have you done for me lately." Here is what has happened lately...in the Spoon years: consecutive losing seasons, in last place in CUSA (which is arguably a weaker middle of the road conference), lost every road game (so far) this season, record of 19-31 in the last 50 games, and that record is against some of the worst teams in the country. The Techsters haven't been relevant nationally for quite some time, that isn't Spoon's fault. But the fact that they are not even relevant in Ruston...well, it could be argued that Spoon has had something to do with that.
