We have the facilities and equipment, equal to that of a 4A Baton Rouge public school, and people around this town get mad when we lose games? Get serious. Boise St's video room contains state of the art video equipment. This includes the newest editing computer containing their last 3 seasons worth of games, and ALL of the games they have received. Louisiana Tech uses the Webb Advantage system to edit games. Not many people understand this. Let me break it down. Webb doesnt even sell this sstem anymore. They have 3, yes, 3 vcrs in the editing room at Tech. and enough space to store 6 games of the current season on the system. As far as weights, no one in the big round round building wanted to help them either. But they got what they needed. Thanks Jim. Wait. You didnt do it. So if you want a winning program, help the people that need helping. Help the weight room. Help the video room. Tech is a laughing stock to the nation. You would be surprised how much better the team that you all 'love' so much would be, if someone would grow some balls, and do something. Its not hard. And this town has money.
