Any chance the Dallas or Houston channels will pick this up?

Somebody in the Tech Athletic Department prolly.

I bet it was our Sports Information Director, or possible some sort of Director of Marketing, maybe even Athletics! They deserve a raise for this pull.

Talked to Marco this morning. He said it took several trips and contacts to the TV stations, but he was happy with the results.

Congrats to External AD Marco Born. Good job of staying with it.

This will have a major impact on our North La. coverage, especially if it bleeds over into basketball.

Assuming he actually played even a small part in this, he came a long way from last year when he didn't have a clue about ASN not showing Tech football.

From "It's out of our hands" to "I'll take some credit for this positive."

Whoever was responsible for getting it done, I am glad it got done. It is the kind of thing that should get done. It is a HUGE step for Tech. And, I think many BB&Bers had a hand in it, because we kept bringing it up to anyone in the Tech athletic department we could get to listen. So, pat on the back to us BB&Bers, too.

There you go assuming again.

Just say nice job and go on with it.

I reckon...I don't have to assume that there is an almost new GM at KNOE, but the same guy who was clueless 9 months ago is taking credit.

Bitch, bitch...bitch!

I for one am excited for the opportunity to showcase our football program on tv every week. Should be good for recruiting both athletes & students. Now we just need to get butts in the seats for those home games.

Yeah, I was complaining last year when the guy getting paid to do this didn't do his job. I was concerned about the above last year. Were you?

That was false information last year.

Yep. They were made aware, but continued to put it out there. One Example...one of the "official game watching parties" at the Dawghouse did not come on. The whole crew had to leave and run to Pontchatulas. The guy taking all the credit now was told that the game would not be on. He ignored it.

Learfield handles all of this for Tech.

I personally KNOW they were hearing about how important it was to get this done.

Learfield handles all of this for Tech.

C-USA handles all this for all member schools. Period

This past year, however, there was some pushing by many, including the athletic administration, after the windstorm blew down the tower at MeTV. And, the work continued after the initial news release came out in July.

Results? Success.

Again, let's hope this transforms into more basketball.

Results? Success.

Wow! So it took more of the SOS to wake them up again. I was hoping this was a result of last year's cluster. Looks like it was a cluster combo of two years.

Oh, and C-USA has to know there is a problem. Nobody from Tech knew there was a problem and they failed to report it. As you and '77 pointed out, it took THE BBB members to get them off center on this deal.

[Dawgpix]

Ok. Ok. Pat me on the back. Whatever.

Problem solved. Let's move on to something more important like an ICEE sponsorship.
