Louisiana Tech Accepts Invitation to Hawai’i Bowl

[TYLERTECHSAS]

BBB is the only rival forum I've ever engaged. We are a young team this year with lots of first time starters on both sides of the line. Your biggest opportunity should be on offense as we've given up a lot of big plays this year. Offensively, we have two great qb's and a bunch of great receivers. We haven't had a lot of trouble scoring.

I'd love to liven it up again but it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job of kicking yourselves in the can. Hope we get to see an epic rematch. Good luck.

That is the typical BB&B way don't you know. Embarrassing.

Welcome back!

Gawd! I just remembered....I hate Hawaii! I hate Fresno too, and Boazy, and Nevada, and San Jose State...I never hated New Mexico State, always felt sorry for 'em. Oh, I hate Idaho too! Almost forgot the spuds! Utah State!! despise dem azzholes!

Man….I miss the old WAC. I hated all those teams! Now, I'm pretty much limited to UAB....so sad.

Back to Hawaii. They tried to make fun of our pine cones, but it was they who tried to crack one open and eat the damn thing! Not our fault they're so goofy.

Go Dawgs! beat dem coconuts!

Oh, and what's this with all the Hawaii mess? Usually this board is still showing last month's game...but today, wow! BB&B splashed with all things Hawaii. Someone must be excited about this bowl....second honeymoon, maybe?

Hawaii favored by 14?

Sagarin Predictor has Tech by 0.73. Current homefield advantage is only 2.28 this week, and that's about as low as it has ever been.

Hawaii can't be that bad and we know the 2.28 is a computer that has not been been fed accurate information.

I expect Tech to be at leas a 7 point underdog, but closer to the 14 I mentioned earlier.

I wouldn’t put money on us at plus 30

I expect a good game. It looks like you played well against LSU...and Mississippi State wasn't too bad of a blowout. We got manhandled by BYU and Utah St. We've got great offensive and defensive schemes and personnel...however, all are pretty much new this year. Freshman starters in a new scheme make too many errors...hence the low Sag rating.

The key is how our seasons ended. That's the only slight advantage for us that I can see. We haven't had this many wins in ten years.

Holtz has beaten Sagarin once (UNT) (well, Amik, Holtz tried very hard to lose), and has lost three times (UAB, USM, WKU).

So our 2018 schedule will end up being 5 home games and 8 road games. Shrewd!

played bad against a bad team at USA

played decent for 1/2 against lsu

played decent for 1/2 against NT

played well at FAU

played well at UTSA

Did not show up at Miss St

Played bad at USM

You are right, we were 3-2 at home this year against horrible teams. We did play better on the road.

[Geaux Dawgs]

If our receivers are healthy, we win this game........look at some of the Hawaii scores.

It is going to have to be entertaining to stay awake!!!!!!!!! 9:30pm kick central time.......yikes

Seems to me our normally chickenshite coach pulls out all the stops and plays to win in bowl games. Not saying we will this time but I've seen a trend. Last year I thought we sucked most of the season. Then we put a huge butt whoopin on SMU and I thought maybe we were headed for bigger things. Hasn't been the case but it would not shock me one bit to see us play really well in this game.
