    I think it's good that we have a link to Shreveport - Bosier since we play some of our games there, have the largest concentration of alums there, and have a remote campus there.

    But has anyone on the Board Admn ever gone over there and looked at what they have?

    I can't find a single reference to Louisiana Tech on the entire site.

    If you go under sports and then to football, you only find a reference to the Battle Wings, the Independence Bowl, and the Red River Classic between Grambling and Pine Bluff, which is listed as an "annual classic".

    They still have the AA minor league baseball "Swamp Dragons" listed as plaing there , long after the moving vans have pulled out!!!!


    What's the point of promoting their site with a link if there's NADA about Tech????

    Believe me, this is one of those topics that the admin's have been round and round about on numerous occasions in MANY different forms.

    First, the link isn't there nearly as much to promote their site as it is to make ours more comprehensive. It's for our visitors and if we believe that people come to Ruston and don't look for things to do in Shreveport while they are here, we're sticking our heads in the sand.

    Second, do we tell the site administrator that Tech is going to reference their site and if they want our reference, put Tech in there. Or do we reference the site, then when people visit, politically ask them if they would make some mention to Tech since we are playing 2 games there this year.

    A lot of this takes time to happen. But the more we embrace the media and community activities/promotions of those areas around us, the larger the Tech voice becomes and the more weight we carry when we request Tech's attention on sites like that.

    If you know of a Shreveport visitor info site that DOES make mention to Tech, please forward it to us and we'll look at changing the link.

    Ultimately, the idea is to create our OWN Shreveport and Ruston visitor pages, with data only applicable to those coming to Tech games (stadium info, restaraunts, golf courses, clubs, etc). But that was lowdown on the priority list when we were launching the site. Since we didn't want that to be the hold up, we just linked the CTB sites for the time being.

    What you are seeing is temporary.

    This is a very comprehensive Shreveport site maintained by an individual that has a number of LA TECH links and links to the CTB:

    http://www.lizswwworld.com/travel/sbc.html

    I am sure if you contact Liz she would immediately make a link to BBB.
