95% my arse - sad for my Dawgs

[faninmonroe]

95% chance that some SEC team coming to Ruston - THIS is the reason we turn down Kansas' 1-1????

ULM had freaking Minnesota in Monroe but Oaks thinks that Kansas will not be a draw????

USF and Kansas have a 1-1 and each team gets $150k the year they travel.

Every time I think we hit a new low we sink even lower. Really - if we can not host 2 BCS teams in one year then we need to go back to 1AA TODAY.

I thought that I no longer cared. When I heard this nonsence this afternoon my blood boiled. So, I guess I care but screw it - until Oaks is gone we are a lost cause.

Just think how many other deals we have turned down: Auburn, Bama, Fla State, KSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, Penn State, Baylor.....WHO ELSE HAVE WE TURNED DOWN FOR A 1-1??????????????? Heck , I would not be surprise if lsu offered to let us be the home team in the dome for a 2-1 or 1-1.......but we'll just take the $900k and bus back to Ruston

Sad, sad, sad day to be a Louisian Tech Bulldog Football Fan............................................

$900k?!?! You think he got us nearly one million dollars to be lsu's bitch? Try half that.

[faninmonroe]

well - we are a cheaper whore than I thought......sucks being a ho......sucks worse being the lowest paid whore in D1A

[marketdawg]

LSU offered 700,000K for this year and only 400,000K if we decided to play them next year. They are afraid of what Dooley is doing here at TECH.

I'll take even money on the other 5%.

[rabiddawg]

95% The "administration" must think we are as stupid as Oakes to be feeding us such a crock.

[RGTech98]

95% makes me think of the saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Amazing that we're talking about letting the Jayhawks slip thru our fingers.

[johnnylightnin]

As Jay told me earlier...Baylor was 100% when JOakes killed it. His "teaser" means nothing to me.

[bluecrew]

ok they didnt say 95%. They sounded pretty sure that it was going to happen I just said 95% instead of 100% till I see it in writing. Didnt want to give folks false hope.

what hope is there with JOakes in charge of the athletic department...

[DONW]

Did I miss something? Did oakes say he has an SEC team coming to Ruston?

Oakes "respectfully declined" to comment. Administrative officials insinuated to Fox that we'd have a SEC team in Ruston in 2010.

I don't care if he brings Ole Miss, Fla, Ala, and LSU to Ruston next year. It is too little too late. JOakes needs to go and let us start picking up the pieces.

Who are the Administrative officials? How can Oakes just decline to comment on something like this?

Administrative officials = spin doctors

I guarantee that Joakes was running scared by 12:00PM today. Like any good political appointee, he has been plotting and planning since he was exposed by the Kansas paper this morning. What a dumb butt, for not seeing this thing coming! Almost exactly like the Baylor deal except they were able to keep that one out of the papers.
