3/15 UL-Lafayette @ 6pm

[Dowty]

Good Job DAWGS, the Leopards/Cajuns look pissed (41 pages on RP), HBTD!

There are 41 pages on their board because none of them had to work today.

Lafayette fans are mad and feels disrespected on raginpagin (if you can access the site) that our SID and announcer did not comply to their preferred name.

Oh, no. Guess the next time we play down there they will claim we UL-Ruston.

Edit: I have been on the raginpagin site. Some on there seriously believe our legal name is University of Louisiana - Ruston and that TECH is - and has been - in violation of UL policy all along.

It's funny they seem to think the name of the host city for their University is an insult... I guess Lafayette isn't so great a town after all

I'm not sure where they are getting it.

This is the policy i found on the UL System site.

That's very plain and easy for most people to understand, but, I guess there are some that are too stupid to understand it.

Probably started by a trying to deflect from their wrongdoing. Less inquisitive/intelligent posters probably took the quip as fact, often like today's media on rumors...

Pretty sure the error was on Diaz for a throw down to first that got by Daigle. The ball should have been scooped and no error, but it allowed the runners to advance and they ALWAYS score the E on the guy thowing the ball. Lunceford saved Diaz on the throw to 3rd to get the man out. Had he not scooped that ball there would have been another E on Diaz.

I thought the error was on the line drive that daigle dropped. If he doesn't drop the ball, all he has to do is step on the base and the runner is out and the inning is over. They scored all 5 of their runs after that play.

It wasn't

It was well before that play...

I listened to the top of the 1st inning before it went into Blackout mode. I messaged Malcolm who texted someone at the radio station who hit the switch and turned it back on. It crapped out again when the game "should" have ended (it's on a timer) and was turned back on in the top of the 13th inning. Not sure who's fault all of it is, but Malcolm came through for me. That's what he gets for being Facebook friends with me... I can message him anytime!! :c)

The listen link through the X app never worked for me either. Gametracker was very up-to-date though.

I listened directly from ESPN 97.7 website, it blacked out with some canned music somewhere after the 9th or 10th inning. I imagine they had it on a schedule to close their broadcast on their streaming player. I later found a website http://www.radioline.co that somehow had a connection to the live radio and listened to the rest of the game.

Learfield is responsible for everything. They told the radio peeps to allow 4 hours. Obviously they needed more than 5 hours.

There are some old aps/links out there that look "offical" but are not good links.

I'm not sure where they are getting it.

They are getting it from the bolded portion above. I've seen some reproductions that actually state University of Louisiana @ Ruston as another example. Of course it was never there to begin with, but their fans believe it.

[rabiddawg]

The way I remember it, on the uls website there was a list of member universities. They were all named followed by a hyphen then the city they were located in. Ours looked like this.

Louisiana Tech University-Ruston

Thus the leopards started the LTR thing and saying we were not using our legal name.

It appears the site has been change and shows the state T for us now.

Yes, that's what I saw as an example, but it is not in the legislation...just the Rayne example I noted above.

The example LaLaff was using was not on an official site. It was a bad attempt to make it look official on one of their own sites.

[DJDAWG]

Like coach Burroughs says "Win today right now and worry about tomorrow tomorrow". The exact opposite philosophy of coach Slimtoneaux.

You know, DW, you are exactly right.

Tech is playing to WIN the big games, no matter what day it's played on!

[DJDAWG]

What an incredible game. We Cajuns proved again that our offense is nowhere near our pitching talent.

Great game, y'all earned that win for making our Ace closer blow that save. He's an All-American for a reason.

Our offense left way too many runners stranded it's sickening. We had plenty of chances to put the game away.

Anyway, good game, onto the weekend.

I hope everyone will now understand, the Cajuns are still ranked and will continue to be ranked simply because of their pitching staff. It is truly a national power pitching staff.
