    Bicknell take notes:

    Budke came on the post game interview and took blame for screwing up the TIMEOUT SITUATION. HE TOOK THE BLAME!!!

    You boys don't have a clue how hard it was to beat Tulsa with that young woman from Fayetteville and then somehow traveling to Houston and playing another good team on the road less than 48 hours later.
    The win in Tulsa was more important than this loss!
    The Techsters now can beat both those teams in Ruston and the harm won't be significant.
    Candice Brewer should have be a Techster. She isn't, so we have to beat her team in Ruston and again in the FINALS of the WAC tournament!
    Did anyone check to see what happened in the AP ratings today? Obviously, it was a one-week jump, whatever it was. However, even UCONN has a loss now. Women's basketball just faced the reality that the men's game lives with year in and year out.
    Texas Tech likely will fall before too long.

    He actually did say that they are a great team at home. 17-1 (the one being Tech) over the last two years is actually very good.

    It sounds like he needs to have some players step up and take leadership roles on this team.

    17-1 is Rice's WAC record at this point in two years! Not just home but overall in the WAC.

    The officiating was piss poor...and Rice could not miss a shot in the first half. We had our chances, but they would not fall.
    I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?

    We have to buck up and go forward now. At least we have a coach that accepts responsibility and knows that he has some work to do with this team. Rice is a team that only lost to Stanford by 10 after leading at the half.

    Time to move on. PAYBACK is sweet. COME ON TO RUSTON, RICE!

    Aub,

    sounds like you have accepted TECH's fall from the top echelon of the sport. That's too bad.

    How many years does Budke have left on his contract?

    What are the buyout options?

    I don't think Aub has accepted that at all. The Techsters are very much still in the top echelon of wbb. We have two losses. We had more losses than that in 1988 with a National Championship. Parity is much stronger in wbb. Just ask all the top 10 programs that have been beaten by lower ranked and unranked teams in the last 3 years. There are close games every night now and that is just the way it is.

    Budke is doing great. He is by far the best choice for that position. He will lead this team to another NC soon. Just watch. We lost our last conference game under Leon Barmore, not Budke. Budke is the one that took our team last year to the S16 and almost knocked off a top 5 lsu there with absolutely no bench and only 6 players that played the whole game.

    Budke took responsibility for the loss last night. He was very angry about our performance and lackluster start. He will have this team competing for a final four this year.

    I can't wait to watch Rice suffer when they come to Ruston this year. It will NOT be pretty. If this loss was going to happen, it came at the right time. It is much better to avenge the loss than to get beat on the second game.

    This is going to be a much more fun season than anyone expects. I just hope that this loss ignites the Techster fans. The TAC should be packed for the Rice game. They are the closest thing to a rival we have in the conference. It is similar to Western Kentucky when we were in the Sun Belt. They just seem to have our number on the road.

    Fasten your seatbelts now, though. We are going to see some high flying action from the Techsters through the rest of the conference games.

    It doesn't matter if the TECHSTERS run the table in the WAC. Their seeding will suck and it will take a miracle for them to reach the Final Four. The Techsers will be lucky to be a top 15 team come year's end. It doesn't matter if they run through the WAC and avg. 30 point wins.

    I'm sorry but all the time and effort that has made the Lady Techsters a top-flight team is gone to waste if they don't reach the final four. That should be their goal, just like bowling every year should be the goal for our football team.

    If not, fire Budke and hire someone for less money and lower your standards.

    Of course the FF is the goal. It is the goal of 100% of all programs. It is the realistic goal of 20 to 25 programs, including us.

    Do you think that Texas, Texas Tech, Tenn., UConn, Purdue, Penn State, Duke, Stanford, etc. should fire their coach each time they don't reach the final four? Of course not and all of those programs are powerhouse top 10 teams, along with us.

    I totally agree that this really hurt us with our seeding and our ranking, however, it didn't knock us out of anything. We will drop, but we will recover and be ranked in the top 10 by years end again. It is ashame and I am extremely disappointed (and angry), however THANK GOD we have Budke to lead us toward the goal.

    Every time the Techsters have lost in the last 10 years, people start saying that the "glory days" are over. Well yes, we are not FF every single year anymore. Only one team has accomplished what we did in the 80's and that is UConn. Tenn. is a close second, but they haven't done it in the 2000's either.

    And, if you didn't notice, UConn lost this weekend too. In fact, they lost last year to DePaul!

    We will be fine. I just hope that the team takes this and uses it as motivation. They did that with the embarrassing loss to Tenn. last year and, even though we lost a close one in the S16, we were not embarrassed again that year.

    I am FULLY expecting to get to the FF this year!

    UCONN lost to Duke.
    TECH lost to RICE
    TECH is not a premier program any more.

    Is it time to demphasize the athletic departments commitment to the Lady Techster BB program?

    LOL So, THAT is what this is about. Duhhhh I didn't figure it out. You are one of those that thinks that our wbb program gets more attention than it should. Let me get this right - you think that we should take away money from our ONLY NCAA sport that wins consistently and has been ranked in the top 10 Nationally for 95% of the last 25 years? Well, look around at other top 50 wbb programs. They pay more money and support their program better than we do. We treat our wbb great and that should continue, but it is a far cry from other name programs. Your argument is not with the Lady Techsters, it is with the administration not paying enough to get a winning football coach and marketing. THAT I can agree with. That is because I am a fan of Louisiana Tech, not just football.

    Gotta run! I hope that you can come around to seeing a good thing when you have it. Don't buy into the false impression that some give you about the money poured into any one program. It isn't true.

    LONG LIVE THE GREAT LADY TECHSTERS!
    BUILD A FOOTBALL TEAM!

    I'm a fiscal conservative and don't see the need to waste money. Budke is one of the top paid head coaches at TECH.

    Can he be successful to the Techster standards with what he has or does he need more? How much more does he need? Is he taking money from the athletic department that could be better spent on the only revenue producing program in Ruston?

    I don't see the Lady Techsters and their fans generating any revenue for the university. And there are Lady Techster fans who are not TECH fans.

    How many BD28's among the Lady Techster loyalists who give thousands of dollars to the university each year and are willing to stand up and demand excellence from the program?

    The Techsters are like the Notre Dame football program which will not contend for a National Championship again unless something drastic happens.
