Dooley's team had 48 points scored on against them last night and were tied 13-13 at half. At least his old team ended up with 16 points vs a complete shutout TN experienced in the second half.
Maybe we should email Dooley and ask for a correction.
And ask if he's signed the contract to play the Cajuns yet LOL.
Seriously, I heard it too and I couldn't believe it. I thought, "Boy, if I was a Tech fan, I'd be PO'd right now." Then I thought, "Im not, and I'm still kind of PO'd."
Mike Patrick is good...really good. He just misspoke at a really bad time.
Not to defend Dooley, but ESPN employs some serious goobers. Herm Edwards and some other "I-never-played-sports-in-my-life" announcer were calling the LSPOO game on Saturday (watched the rerun at 3:00 AM while I couldn't sleep). They were discussing VA Tech's loss, and both of them mentioned that it nullified their win versus Boise. I thought maybe I heard them wrong, but then they again alluded to VA Tech beating Boise.
I sincerely hope the
Tech SID has contacted ESPN about this most-ignorant statement they made which did great harm to Louisiana Tech.
Good old Memorial Gym
I sent a not-so-friendly email, now whether it's read by Patrick or his boss remains to be seen.
