One of the big reasons that I do not visit this board anymore is because the perception that Tech is to good to be in the Sunbelt. LAst I checked nobody drives from Hawaii or Fresno to attend a road game in Ruston. Nobody talks about Tech in Monroe, or Lafayette, or New Orleans, or Dallas, and even Miami. Thats because we don't play those teams. That also affects our recruiting base. Do you realize we would average about aobut 20 to 30K fans a game against ULM, ULL, NorthTexas, Muddle Tenn. Thats fans spending mony on our campus. Not some California guy complainig about how we don't have tofu pizza at the Pizza Inn. Please take into acount that I am a Die Hard. I live in Baton Rouge and get constantly ridiculed by al those LSU, ULL fans. Thats cool but when I turn on the TV and get a ULM game on Cox four out five times on Saturdays I rrealized that we need to stop lining in isolation and play our local rivals. Southern Miss, Central Florida, and UAB made it into the CUSA not by running away from the lesser schools in the region bbut by feasting onthem. I have to argue that being in a conference that has four Bowl bids and usually more NCAA bids is nice but what happened when we were 7-5 last year. WAC put us out on our A!@es with out even looking twice. I am not saying that The Belt is the key to victory but it does look like a stepping block towards CUSA. Look at this Conference titles are Conference Titles, We already have established rivalries with most of the CSUA West and more people in the stands would be more of a benefit than living in a Dying conference wher Boise jumps any minute to the MWC. Thats just my opinion and I hope that red dots will not be to plentiful for ME EXPRESSING AN OPINION. Good day and Go DAWGS.
