    FBS/ 1a

    We have been trying this for 30 years and we suck at it. It has destroyed our BB programs chances of ever making another tournament. Is the New Orleans Bowl really that important?

    It was cool, but they really sucked last year. But they have seemed so far to really turn it around this year. A new QB can really make a difference.

    So I see someone was drinking last night!!!!!


    So when was the last time NSU, McNeese, Nichols, or SELU made the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Also, do you think the Lady Techsters would be a national power in the Southland Conference?

    I think every single one of them has made it since we have. To be exact I think every team in Louisiana has made it since us except Grambling, who has never made it. Not that I am suggesting moving to FCS at all.

    When you bring up WBB as part of your vision of success you lose cred. "Come on Man!"

    Right. They have all made it since we have. But, if I'm not mistaken, none has made it in the past decade. They toil away in almost total obscurity with nothing budgets and no fan support.

    Again I am not advocating a return to that level. Only Northwestern has made it in the last decade. But with a much larger budget and way better fan support we are looking at three decades, that is unacceptable. 32 teams from Louisiana has made the tourney since us. You would think we would slip in there once. CUSA isn't a basketball power.

    Yeah there ness to be a path to G5 national championship otherwise G5’s will always just play for regular season upset victories over P5s & their own conference championship
    IF BCS playoff expanded to 8 I think one G5 has a chance to get in but it is unlikely they ever make it to championship game
    I’m all for creating a G5 national title playoff with G5 conference champions plus (3) highest ranked at large teams it would add more games but it would make some bowl games worth more
    Basically we have come full circle to 1A & 1AA just called G5 & P5
    Tech fans I think would love an opportunity for their team to participate in a playoff system for an eventual national title even if it’s among G5s

    Self-segregation is not the answer to a lack of respect

    Re: FBS/ 1a

    Here we go with a silly meltdown overreaction thread... Why not just get rid of the football program entirely so we don't have to ever lose again? lol. The BYU game sucked hard, but it happens. Besides, if we're suddenly not even worthy of FBS, why are folks like Vanderbilt still in the SEC? Regardless what your opinion of our bowl games is, we are on a SIX BOWL GAME WIN STREAK. Folks up where I live would LOVE if either Iowa team (uhhh both P5 teams) could ever achieve that.

    Go Dawgs!

    Amen! This is just a reaction to losing to a VERY good BYU team on the road. I like our chances this year in the conference. I don't think any of us were expecting to go undefeated this year (even before the pandemic disrupted our schedule).
