Someone Has Finally Listened - Southern Univeristy Coming to Ruston in 2015

[Terence32]

Bruh....C'mon The average tech fan wouldn't even know an SU logo if it slap them in the face.

Your kidding right lol?

[Statboy]

ASN is not our "parent network." Our primary TV contract is with Fox with secondary ties to CBS. ASN can pick up any games not picked up by the others.

None of which, are broadcast in the Baton Rouge metropolitan area.

If an SU person doesn't know about Louisiana Tech, they are completely ignorant when it comes to college football. Tech, as an FBS program, has been very successful. Do they know Southern Miss, SMU, etc... or do they only know programs within their FCS conference and within an hour of B.R.?

Your kidding right lol?

Terrence you do realize the phrase average doesn't include those who have family ties to the university right.?

[T1]

Not around here, we are very realistic when it comes to evaluating our team. You guys have no shot dude. Come on now, just enjoy the halftime show.

L O L (you were among the worst). (just messing with ya)

Hol up! Don't get your panties all in a wod.
Who said that any SU fan didn't know about LaTech?

We have a few of them too.

I knew something was not right on this thread, was wondering when you were going to join in lol

[Cool Hand Clyde]

I'm sure the average LaTech fan can tell us where Southern is located...,correct?

Absolutely

[ChuckK3]

No offense but why should the average Southern Fan know much about LaTech?

1) Most live in Baton Rouge or the local area where LSU/SU/Saints are king

2) There's no radio broadcasting of LaTech games

3) There's hardly if any ever tv broadcasting of your games

4) They spend their time either watching their team or LSU when not participating at the games.

I don't doubt those four points at all. Baton Rouge is a weird, insular, myopic place. My experience with BR has always been, the people there think nothing else exists outside of it...and anything north of Alexandria is a foreign country to them.

Well when you live in the states Capital and have two of the largest colleges in the state within 15 miles of each other. With two of the largest and best fan base, It could foster that perception.

Personally I think it has more to do with people supporting their local community. It'll be hard for you to convince me it's any different in Ruston.

If it is, than that may be the problem to your lack of fans support or at least to the level you would like to see it at.

LA Tech's first WAC game ever was in Indy Stadium......absolutely DONKEY STOMPED SMU 30-something to 3.

I could argue that one either way. It didn't really NEED to be in Shreveport, but it was a special occasion and didn't seem to hurt.

I could (reluctantly) make the same case for Grambling.

New Mex St in the freezing cold........

That game was when I finally realized that DR & JO were intentionally sabotaging our efforts in S'port.

Mm


No you're not. Your parent network is ASN that as I recall started here in Baton Rouge ( don't remember if they are still here or not)

Their main focus is regional broadcasting which will never be shown here because of contractual obligations CST has with LSU/SU.

I consider myself to be a true sports fan, although my primary focus, at least for college athletics, is the Southern Jaguars. But I can truly say I have never seen a televised sporting event involving Louisiana Tech.

Come on now! No need to insult intelligence. Just clean fun!
