My friend from Montana...not so much. He graduated from Northwestern U and is a follower of all sports but I don't recall him ever sitting down and watching women's bb on ESPN. I think he pays attention to the Lady Techsters now because of me.
My boyfriend is a U of Maryland grad and a Tennesse fan (go figure) so he does have a bit of a historical edge as far as knowing about the Techsters.
I know people in North Louisiana (and on this board) disagree but I've found that the Lady Techsters are what people know about Louisiana Tech (if they know anything). That's just my experience. It probably doesn't hurt that I'm 6-1 and people assume that I played basketball in college either....
