Tech won all 6 of those games, and only one of those matches was close (2004, 20-24 Tech). To really drive my point home, I’ll put it another way: Nearly half of Tech’s student body wasn’t even alive/born the last time ULL beat Tech. Yes...they should be envious (or at least a little more humble).
LSU is better than Tech... We all know this, especially this year. Every metric in football tells us this. That being said, our records and performance against LSU and ULL seems to imply that the gap between ULL and Tech is much wider than the gap between Tech and LSU. Granted, we aren’t remotely comparable to this year’s LSU team, but in our last 2 meetings Tech has given LSU much closer calls than ULL has given Tech in the past decade.
In short, I think it’s safe to say that if LSU is Tier 1 in the football world, we’re at least tier 2. If we are tier 2, ULL is like tier 3 or 4. But don’t just take my word for it. See for yourself:

I hope the trophy of their bowl has a compass on the top to indicate directional school champs.
I see Miami of Ohio seems to have lost the "Ohio" on their merchandise much like the Leopards lost their Lafayette. Maybe this is the WANNABE bowl.
