    Mike White had my full support while he was here. He deserved it too. I do believe he inadvertently divided the team by too much emphasis on the "Big 3" to the exclusion of our best playmakers on the team (Hamilton, McCree). I think it contributed to our LOSING the biggest games under his tenure and, consequently, not making the tournament. Konkol is much more understated and I will not be surprised if his teams WIN more of the big games. I actually believe we have a better chance of winning the CUSA tournament this year than last year.
    Have you considered those Dogs?

This big rivalry game has been played for so long. Let's give north Louisiana what they want. Blah. Blah. Blah." It was a public plea. I've never seen anything like it.

    Of course it became a big news story leading to that article by Isabella that appeared in newspapers in Shreveport, Monroe, and Alexandria, another article in the Natchitches paper, stories on all 6 TV stations across the Shreveport, Monroe, and Alexandria markets, and local sports talk radio in Shreveport all with the intent of painting Tech as a bad guy and putting public pressure on Konkol to schedule NWST.

    It was bush-league, something NLULM would do. Without that pathetic press release, that Isabella article and all the other stories would never have been done.

    btw, it said, in glowing words, that "Mike McConathy has always been a proponent of playing local teams during his 16 seasons with the Demons.Whether that's games against Tech, ULM and even non-Division I programs like Centenary and LSU-Alexandria,"
    And, since the article also mentions Lafayette in the same terms, my question is, isn't LSU also a local team? Has to be cause the "local" population probably supports LSU more than NSU by 80% or more.

    Another purpose piece of crap to put us back where we belong. We've gotten too uppity for the local journalists, trying to equate Tech to ULM, NSU and even Centenary and LSU-A ??!?!!?!!
    Yep. It's a big problem. The vast majority of our media coverage is controlled by LSU fans and other Tech haters.

    Our last 3 Gannett beat writers? LSU grads.
    Gannett sports editor? LSU grad/Tech hater.

    KTVE sports director? ULM grad/LSU fan/Tech hater.
    KTVE weekend sports guy? LSU grad/Tech hater.
    KTVE extra sports guy? LSUS grad.

    KNOE weekend sports guy? LSU grad.
    KNOE extra sports guy? ULM grad/LSU fan.

    KTBS sports director? LSU grad.
    KTBS weekend sports guy? LSUS grad.
    KTBS extra sports guy? LSU grad.

    KSLA sports director? LSUS grad.
    KSLA extra sports guy? LSUS grad.

    These people have the world view that LSU is on an untouchable level and that Tech should be put down in their place with the likes of ULM, NWST, and Grambling.

    Our brand outside of Louisiana is SO much stronger! I miss Louisiana, but so glad I don't have to see the local media do this type of thing all the time.
