    Why is it so hard to be a DAWGS fan?

    Why do I keep putting myself through this? I should expect the "no guts" coaching style from Skippy, its who he is. But DAMN, it ruins my evening.

    Because we put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and more into Louisiana Tech during our time there as students and then that and more as alumni. We expect something good to come from it and not be wasted. Unfortunately, part of that causes a bit of optimism to always exist no matter how bad things actually are.

    Can honestly say I’m not even upset. I knew before the game we wouldn’t win. If you watched Holtz demeanor when he came out for the 3rd it was a total 180. He already knew what was coming. If we don’t can him after next Saturday, we are going to see attendance numbers like we haven’t seen in some time. We won’t average 12k next year.

    It is HARD to be a Tech fan. That's not whining, or bitching...that's just the truth.

    Well if we have the Skip/J’Mar combo next year, I’ll have more free time on Saturdays, although it will be a long wait till basketball season.

    Knew what would happen. Texted a friend that we would lose 21-20 early in the fourth. I have ZERO interest watching a game now. Spoiler: We barely win the last game and get blown out in the bowl game because our offense is as dysfunctional as a one legged rooster in a dog race.

    Maybe for our bowl we get to play a school which lost its coach and appoints a student grad assistant as interim for the bowl.

    Okay...enough of this gloom & doom (since our Sunshiners remain in hiding). Put this one behind ya....focus on beating WKU, 8-4, and winning a 5th straight bowl game, 9-4. That's NINE wins! That's the ceiling for Holtz. Last year we didn't reach our 9-win potential. This year we will!

    D80...I'm tired of Mediocrity. I'm tired of being satisfied with just being bowl eligible which means we will go to a tier three bowl. I'm sick and tired of crossing my fingers and hoping we are NOT going to have to play a Sun Belch team.

    The best case scenario for a bowl is we go to the Bahamas, no one sees it on tv, and no matter win or lose we leave Skip there

    We don’t deserve a bowl game with the coaching staff and quarterback we currently have.

    I just hope we don’t play a SBC team in a bowl...... cause we probably get slaughtered by them.

    You are right that the coaches don’t deserve a trip anywhere, but we do have a lot of players who have bleed this year that deserve the reward.
