    You can spin it however you want, but that would be like us saying how we are glad our games in the past were on CBS Sports Network instead of regular national broadcast CBS.

    When an individual decides to ignore facts, clearly rational thinking isn't in his/her ability to use.

    One can only take solace in a quote by the late great George Carlin and take note of how envy can create insanity.

    Re: Bayou Classic Organizer Talks About Move To NBC Sports Network

    Just so we are clear what I think

    1) The move will certainly increase attendance.
    2) NBC probably did increase the payout as well to move it to NBC Sports Network.
    3) I do envy Southern's fans and their passion for their team as evidenced by their huge turnouts at ULL and ULM and think it is way overdue that they came to Louisiana Tech. I wish we travelled 1/4 as well.
    4) The event is certainly not going to approach demise.

    But the move from broadcast TV to a cable network is certainly a hit in status, will result in much lower ratings, and will be harder to access for alumni not able to travel to the event, despite the statement spinning things like streaming and using the word million.

    Sorry. Thinking about NWSt. Attendance was 15k for Southern and averaged 6K the rest of the way at home.

    D80, although we know a SWAC team has never been competitive in the 1AA/FCS playoffs, we also know that they make zero money (maybe lose money) by playing in the playoffs. It's silly for them to give up "classic" games for a chance to play in games they can't make money in even if they win.

    I'm doing my best to not to insult your intelligence.

    So for the last time the SWAC has NEVER had an auto bid to the playoffs.

    Every bid they have gotten was by way of at large.


    Even so the only teams that aren't eligible to participate is Grambling and Southern and if you think giving up millions of dollars to pay 70k for a bid to give 75% of your gate to the NCAA makes sense, I just pray to GOD you're nobody accountant.

    At the end of the day you can talk all that rabid fan noise who don't have to pay one bill all you want to. But the truth of the matter there's only one reason that Tech move up and schedule Southern and that's for money.

    And you can spin that however you like, but this is far from my first rodeo.

    Right, as if the Classic can't be scheduled the week before the playoffs start. Bullshit.

    But, keep hiding behind your excuses. Okay, fine.

    The real numbers that matter in this argument are:

    66-19
    44-21 (was 44-0 until the bench was cleared)
    and scores like that.

    1) lasted I checked all colleges games were played on Saturdays long before there even was a D1aa playoff.

    I could be wrong but odds are that I'm not

    2)The Bayou Classic is the annual college football game between the Grambling State University Tigers and the Southern University Jaguars, first held under that name in 1974 atTulane Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, although the series itself actually began in 1936. Since 1990 the game has been held the final Saturday in November after being picked up by NBC.

    3) D1AA was created in 1978. I understand that might have slip by you, because Tech may have been trying to decide which one of the eleven conferences in ten decades its been a member of, that it wanted to join at the time.

    Or you simply could have been to young to know that.


    4). Southern has never had any interest in participating in the D1AA playoffs in its present format

    5) The SWAC was never given an auto bid even though for many years it schools ranked in the top 5-10 polling of D1AA.


    Hopefully that clears some things up for you.

    You can start the campaign for Tech to move down anytime. The chance of them infiltrating the P5 playoffs is slim to none.

    I'll be the first to sign the petition.
