11/17: @ Southern Miss

[stodgdog]

So typical, no killer instinct... playing it safe. This has the Holtz late loss strategy written all over it.

The TE was wide open and Smith threw to the wrong guy. He should have seen him as the intended receiver was right behind him. Would have been an easy TD after a great 8 min drive.

Guys.....LA Tech needs a fresh start. I'm tired of this crap.

Since Holtz has proven for 4 consecutive years in a row that he just can't beat USM, I think its time for him and LA Tech to finally part ways. I don't want or need to hear about this being LA Tech's "golden years" with Skip, or any of that nonsense. Tech really needs new leadership in the football program. And trust me, with a new strong leader, LA Tech will continue winning, but do it without all these embarrassments. We'll be fine with someone new at the helm.

Agreed. Even the players look like they could use a change. Fans for sure. We need a young offensive minded coach who can add some energy to our lifeless offense.
And while we’re at it, let’s find a new AD and a new QB!

Now I want UTEP to beat USM. Not that I care that USM bowls or not, I don't. But a UTEP win will rub salt into this wound. Make it hurt even worse. And....it would be funny too. After all, it would be said, USM would have bowled....if not for losses to ulm and utep.

This game was lost when Holtz got off the bus. He’s gutless, and has no imagination whatsoever. Having a departed QB beat our ‘Rock Star - loser’ QB is a real ball-buster. S.Miss are laughing their collective asses off right now and they should be. This coaching staff is out and out embarrassing.

[StrongBad]

We do seem to attract the Jayden's Smiths of the coaching world (talentless bottom feeders that parasitically ride their father's coattails).

Skip is the living embodiment of this analogy.

Bicknell, Dooley, Dykes, and Holtz all in a row, and that embarrassing guy who coached the Lady Techsters. Ditka's son is next, if he has a son.

[Blue Dawg]

From the way Skip sounded, I think he knows he just went from a warm seat to a hot one.

Lol, if Holtz wants to be buried in Ruston, he will. Not a single person in our athletic or other administrative dept (cough, Guice) has the balls to show him the door. Add in the boneheads who think he's the greatest thing to ever happen to Tech football, and you've got yourself a pretty bad case of kudzu.

IT'd only hurt to us fans. Guice, TMac, and Holtz don't care about football.

If the money people really want this program to move up to the next level, Holtz has to go. I hope they do. I wish I was money people but I'm not. I am though a season ticket holder, Who will NOT renew my tickets or attend any games, until this changes if there were enough of us change could come. You can not coach successful football with his ho hum attitude. As long as we compete he is ok. Well I'm not. I want a coach with some fire in him, who wants my university to succeed as much as I do. Fire him now. We have reached as high as this PUTTZ can take us.

Careful D80: we may be playing ulm in a bowl, and we just may lose that one, too!

[stodgdog]

Win or lose, the 2 game changers was a missed chipshot FG and a bull$hit personal foul call that give them a 1st down deep in their territory.

+1 later was the killer

[HogDawg]

This is what’s so frustrating. Holtz is the definition of mediocre. Great to lose to the QB we let leave our program because our commitment to our Rockstar.

This is exactly what I predicted.

To all those LA Tech fans who repeatedly laughed and said it couldn't happen (you people know who you are, and I know too), you can now all eat crow and choke. Because the guy you called "too little", "undersized", "horrible", "a quitter", blah, blah, blah, just kicked YOUR ASS and mine, just like I warned you he could. He's celebrating now, and you're not.

You are correct. I made the same comment earlier in this thread during the game.

[FriscoDawg]

Careful D80: we may be playing ulm in the NO Bowl, and we just may lose that one, too!

READ MY POST ABOVE. ULM will NOT be in the New Orleans Bowl because the SBC announced that it is sending its champion to New Orleans.

ULM now has to beat ULL while Arkansas State loses at Texas State and then beat the Appalachian State-Troy winner to be the SBC champion.

All the talk about Holtz makes me wonder how Les Miles is going to do at Kansas. Will Miles turn things around at Kansas, or will they continue to suck?

Miles can lead Kansas to a National Championship for all I care, as long as Holtz is not in Ruston at the time.
