    LFR you are one tough dude. I can tell why you were a great linebacker, your intensity never stops.

    You remind me of Dick Butkus. I was in a crowded restaurant in New Orleans many years ago, when Dick and his wife came in. There were no empty tables and I was by myself so I offered them a seat at mine. After they ordered the waitress came back toward our table carrying a sandwich, and Dick thought it was his. He watched her with the same intensity that your avatar has, probably the same way he looked at Bradshaw when he was a young qb for Pittsburgh. When the waitress walked past our table, I thought he was going to tackle her, but obviously he didn't. Forgive me for my trip down memory lane, but I meant it as a compliment to you.

    From my perspective, one game does not a season make, and a lot of the kids are new to the team. I hate that the Techsters lost, but let's give Tspoon and our talented newcomers a little time before we throw in the towel.

    W. Basketball. Missouri State Downs Techsters In Season Opener

    A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:

    Christiana Shorter scored 20 points to lead four Missouri State players in double figures as the Lady Bears defeated Louisiana Tech 78-65 Friday night before 1,788 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center.

    Re: W. Basketball. Techsters Host Missouri State Friday at TAC

    Generally speaking, I find your posts to be spot-on. While I agree with your statements about these things being in place BEFORE the season starts, I also think it is too early to write-off the Techsters. I, for one, do not think Spoon has proven herself yet as a COACH. She has absolutely proven herself as a motivator and a legendary player of the game, but that does not always translate to coaching ability. Regarding the talent on this team, whether or not the term "mid-major" is real or not, the Techster program needs to demonstrate talent that is competitive in the mid-major market prior to expecting relevance on the national stage. Yes, I agree with Champ that Missouri was a decent team (he said good, I'll say decent) but the facts are that the game was a home game, opening of the season, and the Techsters were not ready for primetime. Missouri was ready, and well-coached. The same cannot be said of the Techsters. Dominance in the WAC does not convince me the program is rebuilding or on the rise. Some OOC signature wins will be the only factor that determines whether or not this program is moving forward, standing still, or sliding further into obscurity.

    Not an encouraging sign - Missouri State, at home, today lost to Louisville 73-64.

    It's been a decade since Missouri State made that FF appearance and that was mostly about Jackie Stiles. The problem is that the big conference schools have thrown major dollars at their women's programs now. Just look at the list of "mid majors" If one of them were to make a Sweet Sixteen, it'd be quite an accomplishment. If we're anywhere close to getting competitive players, we shouldn't be losing to teams like MSU. Every year we hear that this is the year we turn the corner, and every year we don't. I'll be happy to be wrong if it ever happens, but I'm not expecting it.

    Women's BB has gone the way of Men's BB. As you said, the big schools have thrown tons of money into WBB and it shows. Look who are the dominate teams, UConn, Tennessee, Stanford, Baylor, A&M, ND, etc. Pretty much the same situation as MBB. This year two non-AQ conference schools made it into the Sweet 16, Green Bay and Gonzaga. And the Zags have a pretty good basketball history, although on the men's side. Only five (including GB and Zaga) made it out of the first round.

    The football game thread of the Bulldogs playing Ole Miss in the 1st 11 pages talked about how aweful the Bullbogs were and the coaching sucked, then when we starting scoreing every one talked about how great the team was and what a great coach!
    For pete's sake it's just one game in a long season and every one needs to give this team and TSpoon a chance here!
    Go Techsters!

    Not encouraging? Missouri State was up most of the first half and lost by 9 to the #9 team in the country. How is that not an encouraging sign???

    It's like the Dawgs losing to Houston and Southern Miss if you ask me...
