Not the kind of article I want Tech associated with, but it is publicity.

I saw that this morning as well. It publicity though.
Hell. I'll buy one of those birdhouses. I think the one of those guys was on the fourth floor in Mitchell during my freshman year.
I wonder where they sell them?
At the federal Pen, and they cost 4 packs of cigs and a date with Monreaux Tiger
The Jaycees Chapter at Wade Correctional is one of the best in the country.
It's a positive story so it's probably good publicity. Better than nothing. A while back I saw a rerun on MTV of Pimp My Ride and the host "Xibit" or whatever his name is was wearing a Louisiana Tech basketball jersey.

BUT, I don't think we'll be able to sell them season tickets.

At Wade Correctional they have a day when they announce the public can come in and view items made by the prisoners which are for sale. It is unbelievable how much talent is incarcerated. What a waste.Originally Posted by oledawg66

I really see nothing wrong with it. It is not like the article is pointing out that 25% of Tech graduates end up as "lifers" or anything. Maybe we are neglecting a whole demographic out there. But like Dawgpix said, probably not going to sell a whole lot of tickets to them. Wonder if they would donate to the Jumbotron???

I'm thinking we get about 100 of those guys to some to our games in their orange jumpsuites and changes and sit them behind the vistors. Can't hurt.Originally Posted by hookdown
Yeah, just need the PA announcer to say "and a special welcome tonight to the Lifers from Wade Maximum Security Correctional Facility. Stand up guys for a warm Tech welcome!"
And monro tigger could bring them soda, because they would be chained to their seats!
The flip side is - maybe they are producing what sells.
