I agree 100% with Tdawg. I guess the administration reads this board because they definitely acted out of baseless arrogance in asking the Indybowl to wait. What were they holding out for? Did they actually expect the Sugar Bowl to come calling? All of the top tier bowls that matter are always going to be filled. The rest of the bowls are basically the same so why in the hell are we trying to pick and choose? I feel so bad for Patton, Cameron, and Holley. Our athletic department let them down!
They absolutely read this board!! I have been called on the carpet for some of the things I have said and initiated on this board!Originally Posted by oletimer
So I gather you are changing your mind, and not pouting off and quitting? Yes, LUCKY!! He was lucky enough to have a skill that allowed him to get a free college education. He did work his ASS off, I am sure. Guess what? So did I, and others that weren't talented in sports enough to get a full paid scholarship. You say he sweated in the hot Louisiana summers. So did I, except I did it in the oil fields toting 48" pipe wrenches. I did it to get enough money to subsidize my student loans that took me 10 years to pay back.
I contend you are the arrogant ass. I am glad, however, you state that "I want some folks heads to roll". I assume this means coaches, and since the offense was #1 in the nation, and the defense was dead last, that means defensive coaches, of which TS is the head honcho. Surely you cannot be happy with the performance of TS and SD (the HEAD coach). I still contend that if we would have won only one of these last two games, we would not be in this pickle.
I concede that there is plenty of blame go around, and the players are hurting, but they too have to shoulder some of this blame as well.
Take it outside, guys.
This is like Dawgs eat Dawgs! Come on you all! I am an alumnus, buy tickets & support my Dawgs. I am as sick as anybody here about what happened. But I am sicker for the players whom worked their arses off & now get no reward. Hopefully this will be a lesson to the AD, HC, Admin & alumni/fans. We are what we are. A non-AQ FBS program in a small town with small attendance (growing) & an even smaller budget (growing). We as alumni look like jackasses taking shots at everyone & everything because we don't like where we are. Let's not look like jackasses. Let's try to fix the issues that I bring up & move forward.
We are melting down because we missed an opportunity to play ulm ....
Seriously?
Good old Memorial Gym
I think this is much bigger than that. Also, we missed an opportunity to play Ohio, not NLULMLSU.
Nothing to do with JUCO. Is all about players and recruits.
ULM would not have been in the I-bowl if we had accepted.
Thank you, many posters have lost sight of that fact. Think about recruits coming in and being hosted by current players who have been let down by Tech. That could be disastrous.
From the players tweeting, they are a pissed off bunch, which I don't blame them at all.
My biggest worry right now besides being laughed at across FBS, is what is the impact for recruiting?? If I were a recruit being looked at by multiple universities, would I commit to La Tech? Again, looking from outside from a recruits perspective, will the head coach be there next year? Concern about administration given what just went down from a bowl perspective?
Well we know Dykes doesn't give a damn about recruiting...unless it is for Cal or some other big money school.
We've got some things to overcome, sure. But CUSA with its five bowls and regional appeal will overcome these. Sell on CUSA and bowls.
4 bowls. Liberty gone after this season.
