Earlier this year we had a WBB coach who slept in and missed three scheduled radio appearances.
Now Fletch has been trying to get somebody from Tech to interview about Tech football for weeks maybe even months. Our fans have been calling, texting, and tweeting Fletch wanting to hear Tech interviews, but our football SID told Fletch that Holtz wouldn't be available until after the 3rd week of the regular season. Then Fletch requested anybody else from Tech to talk football (coordinators, assistants, players, president, etc... anybody) but never got a response back from our football SID. Crickets.
Not only do the thousands of Tech fans and potential fans in NWLA not get to hear about Tech, these blunders make Tech look really bad when Fletch calls out our guys for routinely being no shows. LaTech athletics puts "Shreveport is Bulldog Country" billboards outside of Haughton, but our athletic department is incapable of finding someone to take 13 minutes once a week between 6-9 AM to talk Tech football on Shreveport-Bossier radio. This is unacceptable.
The Fletcher Show has had maybe only one "Tech Tuesday" all summer, and now since Northwestern State is a sponsor of his show, we get inundated with Demon talk nobody in the listening audience cares about (good luck trying to find a Demon fan in Shreveport-Bossier) in addition to the usual LSU overload.
