Thank you! I agree 100% with your original post, btw. Too bad fans like DONW want to exist in their comfort zones and choose not to progress. It is fans like you and I that refuse to look at everything through red and blue glasses that Tech needs more of. Fans like DONW are just enablers of mediocrity and underachievement.
Alright. I will man up and admit I could be wrong. It has certainly been dead around here LATELY though. I am not exactly a regular, but that is mainly because I get ran off for playing devil's advocate. I only try to be a realist. Tech needs to make some big changes, and it needs to start with the mindset of many Tech fans.
Wait, you come to our sandbox and tell us how we should play/act... I could understand if this was ncaabbs, or we went over to that pathetic excuse of a Scout board ya'll have, but come here and tell me how I should react to the Haleys comet that is ULL/ULM football the past few seasons... please...
It WAS a big win, DONW. It hurts to see that, doesn't it? What if it had been our dogs that did it? I just as heck would love to see Tech get more home and home series with teams like Wake Forest. So they suck... who cares??? They won last year at Wake, and they beat them at home this year. They got Baylor to come to Monroe...etc. What has our admin done lately to get anyone of significance to come to Ruston? You can knock ULM's win all you want, but as I said, I am a realist. Tech is underachieving while ULM and ULL are maximizing the limited resources they have to work with. Instead of debating, all you can do is hide away in Conway behind your key board and make childish comments. It really is sad! LOL By the way, I am not a ULM alum. I graduated from LSU. Born and raised in north Louisiana though, and I have always loved my Dogs! That doesn't mean I don't HATE it when they are underachieving though.
Donw, you congratulated the wrong guy. I went to Tech.
I sure wish Tech would jump on that comet. At least someone is shining other than LSU in Louisiana right now! Tech has sooooo much potential. I wish more Tech fans would realize that. Much of it starts with us as Tech fans being nice to other fans. That helps generate excitement, acceptance, and builds onto the fan base. The overall mentality of the fan base has a long way to go before seeing any significance though.
I would just like T1 to acknowledge that I've been labeled a sunshine pumper!

I am the counterargument to your claims. I'm as doom-and-gloom as they get with the football team. I haven't been shunned, banned, ignored, talked down to, accused of being a lesser Tech fan, etc.
And you are the first I've seen ever say that it is a Tech fan that has driven away anyone from our program. Typically it is the product and lack of production and organization by Tech that is cited for people not caring and/or leaving.
Can you point to someone who has been banned that shouldn't have been? I have yet to see any banned posters that aren't spam, bots, etc. Our admins are pretty great and open about things around here.
