    Errors in Today's Times coverage

    First-- I have never seen as much Tech coverage and I really like Isabella. This is not meant as complaint -- just Correction


    1. We are not 4-0 in October-- we are 5-0

    2. Not first time we have Qualified for 3 straight bowl but hopefully the first time we will be Invited--

    Nitpicking but I would refer to it as " since moving to division 1"

    OK got that out of system

    Not surprising that Isabella made those mistakes. He gets much more credit than he deserves for being a great Tech beat writer. He does his job most of time, but often ingores the obvious questions because he fears those he is covering.

    Your mistake was reading the Times.

    Houston Chronicle says we are 5-4, and I saw another article on the internet saying the same.

    The Baton Rouge Advocate also put our record as 5-4 instead of 6-3.

    I finally had to cut the cord with the Houston Chronicle. They wanted $71 for "eight weeks" but would slip some extra "supplements" and charge you for them. I primarily read the comics and did the puzzles.

    It's a shame but it seems to be true. I'm a youngin compared to most of the guys here but there's something about a newspaper that's better than online articles. I prefer them and I hate the direction the journalism industry is going.

    Re: Errors in Today's Times coverage

    So what was the other consecutive 3-year period that LA Tech qualified for bowls? 1997, '98 & '99? Our 1998 team was 6-6, including a victory over 1AA Nicholls St. But I'm not sure that counted towards bowl qualification back then.

    It really is absurd that LA Tech didn't receive a bowl invite in 1999. The Dogs had a Top 25 ranking late in the season, and finished 8-3, including a 29-28 win over SEC champ Alabama. Our only 3 losses that year were at #1 Florida St, at #6 TX A&M and at Southern Cal. I mean....geeesh.....

    Seems like equal coverage sometimes.

    He was at that game before the Tech game. Was watching his tweet updates for the score. He witnessed a lot of one-sided football yesterday.

    . You may be right-- think Nichols did not count.

    My frustration is it ignores years prior to Division 1 . Sounds like 100 years without 3 winning seasons ... again, no big deal and I am excited and proud of these Bulldogs -- Coac Holtz and staff

    . Remember days when everyone on my street got the morning paper -- I am it now-- no one but me ( -and the USA Today. Watching World Series -- top of ninth 3-2 Cubies and Dallas -Eagles ( 23-23). Way past my bedtime
