Tech and Louisiana Tech work and I don't use anything else when speaking about our school.

Side note.....went to Zachary this past weekend to help with the flood recovery. Several of us had on our Tech gear and of course there were a couple of lsu shirt wearers. One guy asked where we were from. Upon hearing Ruston, he said, "oh yeah, isn't there a school up there?" We laughed and let it go because we knew the devastation had obviously gone to his brain. We tuned in to the ballgame while we worked and they kept asking who was winning. When we said "we are" they all said, "oh, I thought Wisconsin was up?" It took all day, but they finally acknowledged that none of us cared that lsu was playing or losing or anything. They couldn't fathom it and we all loved it. Hopefully they will always remember when those guys from Louisiana Tech came to their aid!
