    Fletch blasts Tech's football SID on the radio this morning

    I don't know if this was mentioned in another thread earlier today, but this deserves its own thread.

    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.

    Our football SID is not an asset.

    Tech has a "football" SID? Do we also have a basketball SID? Baseball SID? Other sports SID? Or....just an SID who is supposed to provide information to the media and spend his/her time promoting Tech athletics?

    So we even have a SID????

    There are 4 individuals listed as part of the Communications department for Tech Athletics. Patrick Walsh is the primary SID for Football, Malcolm is listed as secondary. However, I think that Malcolm is the head of the department. Not 100% sure about that. The other 2 members of the department are Kaine McGuire and Anna Claire Thomas. They each have 2-3 sports for which they are the primary contact.

    Thanks Dawg06. I meant to e-mail the administration about this blunder because I was embarrassed during that 5 minutes of radio when he said all this.

    Re: Fletch blasts Tech's football SID on the radio this morning

    I will say this. Last week our football SID was interviewed at least two times on live radio. One time by Fox and another time by Nick Brown. I belive our SID was also interviewed by Nick Brown prior to Fan Day.

    Still, our football SID should be reaching out to S'Port media, not the other way around.

    Every day I listen to MLB radio and hear famous managers and general managers take time out of their day to be interviewed. ... We can't find a few minutes a week for one of our coaches to be on a Shreveport radio show?

    I've heard multiple times that this has been an issue with our football SID. He rarely responds to those who want to speak with Holtz. Malcolm is outstanding at promoting Tech, but his football guy needs to step his game up.

    We will never get the big pricey things right, if we don't get the little freebies right.

    This is an invitation to air time. This is FREE MARKETING for Tech football in our largest alumni market. While I am most appreciative of ESPN 97.7 and the MLU/ELD TV stations covering us, with all due respect, we're sucking wind in Shreveport/Bossier/Arklatex. Our largest concentration of alumni and fans, and we force our (mostly casual, let's be honest) fans to work for it...and try to listen on a 16-watt Low Power FM station we beat our chest and pass off as "KRMD-FM".

    There are days when it's hard to be a Tech fan. Then there are times it's darn-near impossible.

    He announced at the end of his show that Holtz will be on his show every tuesday starting next week. Someone complained to the right person.
