Tech to play at Kansas State in 2015

[ETXBULLDOG]

Exactly what I was thinking!

At Mississippi State in 2015 is the front end of a 2-for-1.

I like this a lot! SEC team that is beatable in most years, close enough to drive, and willing to come to our place (better not be in damn Shreveport).

2 for 1s are a bad deal for us. We lose a ton of money.

The new AD is going the money game route.

Did we hire Jim Oakes back as AD?

Exactly what I was thinking!

What would y'all do differently with our schedule?

The better question might be, "Was this done by direct order of the 16th Floor?"

We know it was several times while Oakes was AD.

That said, Kansas State is the type of money game Tech should be scheduling if the price is right. Oklahoma and Auburn do not fall into that category.

I agree RC.

I recall JRP saying he refused to take his football team to Nebraska regardless of the paycheck.

Couldn't agree more. There are teams in the B5 that we could play and compete with every year. Our AD needs to bust his butt scheduling those teams, not the OU's and Auburn's.

It's Bush's fault! I mean, DR's fault!

Right....obviously these recent body bag games have been scheduled because DR is hiding on the 16th Floor still calling the shots.

That's all we heard for decades on this forum, everything horrible re: Tech athletics was (is?) Oakes and DR's fault. Why, just get rid of those clowns and we'll be athletic nirvana, baby! Well......?

And. . . . if we are gonna go the money route, our minimum cover charge should be no less than $1 million.

We might be whores, but atleast we will be expensive whores....

Some of you guys need to give suggestions on how we pay the bills if we don't do this.

Hire a better coach who will excite the fan base.

While they are at it, explain how we make more than $750K on a home and home or a 2 for 1.

Every program has its own value. Louisiana Tech HAS a name of value.
