    The reasons I don't support playing nlulm have nothing to do with attendance in Monroe. It has to do with bettering OUR program. When we all drive up to Joe Aillet stadium on August 30th (if "they" don't move the damn game), my point will be made. We have better options. It just takes someone to make it happen.

    "They" better not move nothing!

    And Clyde you are exactly right. It does nothing to better us except maybe shut them up once and for all. What bliss that would be.

    More Thursday night ESPN crap. It's not a dead issue from what I hear.

    LA105 in Monroe can barely bring themselves to mention Tech other than an afterthought. It all just kind of makes me sick. Other than bad news which makes front page, Tech is the red headed step child of the media in Monroe.
    When ULM was seeking a new mascot I thought they should have gone with the "Water Turkeys". It was a natural fit because Bayou Desiard runs through the campus, and the bayou is full of water turkeys. I could already hear their fans shouting look at them turkeys play.

    I agree with needing a larger media outlet. Where is it going to come from if not the Daily Leader? Shreveport's paper is gannett and doesn't do us justice and has no college team of their own. Monroe is gannett, has a college team and never will do us justice. I just don't understand why everyone gets upset about monroe coverage. Just being honest.

    Ideally, the Daily Leader would get out and market their paper to become all of N. LA's source for news. Then we could complain about a hometown paper not giving us adequate coverage.

    I am sorry. I put market and Ruston in the same sentence. I know there is no marketing allowed up there.

    The papers will support a winner. With our program getting back to where it historically has been, I believe the coverage will occur.

    Tell that to the late 90s football team. Let's revise to "Being LSU begets coverage, for them winning begets more coverage, for everyone else winning begets some scraps of coverage."

    Still, winning would help.

    It'll shut them up for a few years then it'll start right back up, I was there in 2000 when we beat the snot out of them in Monroe by the time I graduated (2004) people were already bringing it up again.

    Maybe I'm sensitive, but it does seem that NSW does have a problem with Tech sports and working to provide balanced coverage of our program. There are a lot of Tech people in Monroe/W. Monroe areas, so you think their coverage would reflect that.

    ...but as others have noted
    - winning will take care of most of that, and
    - we have bigger catfish to fry in getting front page space in the S'port area, and all of North Louisiana.

    You do realize that this was 8 years ago??

    They are no longer intimidated. They are the 13 year old teenager that now thinks he's a man and is getting nose to nose with Dad. If Dad (we) don't beat him down occasionally, he'll never stop getting in Dad's face. :icon_wink:

    Tech fanatics should demand . . . and get more from the Gannett bookends in Shreveport and Monroe.
    And, Tech fanatics should demand more timely online publishing by The Leader, not just a story or two here and there.
