For the past 6 months I have been truthful and honest about my feelings of Tech going to the Sunbelt and its chances for Conf USA. I took criticism from nearly all of the members for my stance simply because I stated my opinion. Now that my predictios of La.Tech not geting in Conf USA and La.Tech returining to the Sunbelt have come to fruition, I would like to say it is for the better. The Sunbelt conference is a natural fit for La.Tech and it is where we should have always been. It is where we are wanted and it is where we can have a major impact on conference races in all sports.
I'm sure there are some of you that will contest that Oakes said we are going to stay in the WAC but that is just his hope: Here's why.
1)Travel will be murder for all WAC Schools (espeially with no travel partner)
2) ONce the expenses start to add up for the schools, they will kindly ask us to leave or vote us out anyway.
3)There are no bowls for us even in the WAC. (Hawaii Bowl wants .....duh Hawai Humanitarian bowl would like Boise and that Silicon Bowl does everythin to get Fresno. Trust me the Wac conference does not want to see La.Tech in a bowl ever again. We are simply not wanted in th the WAC anymore.
4) In the New Orleans bowl, ( A La.Tech vs Tulane bowl would be coveted or even a La.Tech vs. Southern Miss) We'd actually be wanted.......what a novelty!
I have advocated this idea for the last 6 months and was criticized yet now i see many others putting for the same ideas. I know my biggest critics want to apologize to me but their egos wont allow it so I'll do it for them. I'm sorry Geedawg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apology accepted.
