Just wanted to let everyone know that my old high school coach, and Louisiana Tech Hall of Fame inductee, A.L. Williams will be on our show today at approx. 4:30. He will have some wonderful stories to share as well as we will get his thoughts on Tech Football.
Remember, the show is on from 3-6 PM and is streamed live at www.espn977.com
We hope to hear some more Tech calls today!

Can you guys reduce your coverage about the school in BR on your show?

The bandwaggoners are a loud bunch who call.
Blue I really enjoy the show and I am a La Tech fan. but if you dont lets the callers dictate the show it want last.
imho.
I dont think my comment came out right. Dont change a think about your show.
As much as I dislike the Tigers, (Fox can attest to that) we have to cover them for a number of reasons.
#1 We are a part of their network and we carry all of their Football games on ESPN 97.7
#2 Money!!! If we don't have advertising dollars coming in to the station and the show, there will be no more ESPN 97.7 and no more Fox & Co.
#3 Call volume. The number of LSU calls are double the number of calls we get about any other team we cover including the Saints. Also, in the previous 2 weeks, we had more ULM calls that we had Tech and Grambling calls combined.
We try our best to cover each and every school in our coverage area. That includes Tech, ULM, Grambling, LSU (even Though they are in BR, there is a HUGE market for them), 50 plus high schools, as well as the Saints & Cowboys.
Sorry, just wanted to reiterate what has been posted on here by me, Fox, & Ed countless number of times.
Now back to the theme of this post, I am excited that Coach Williams will be joining us live at Ponchatoulas. I hope that we get a lot of Tech fans geared up and excited for this weeks game and festivities.

You do a good job, guys. Keep on truckin.

I'd be VERY interested to know how you guys came up with these stats. I listen to most of your shows up until around 5:30 (ball practice) and I sure wouldn't agree with your numbers. I've ony heard one nlulm guy call in in the last two weeks and he is the same one who calls in almost every day. At the most I'd say lsu is 40% and Tech is 60% where colleges are concerned. I'd also say that well over 25% of your calls are concerning high school, which is a good thing IMO.
Push the buttons like you did on Tuesday and I guarantee Tech folks will call in. It's great to hear that Coach Williams will be on today. Looking forward to hearing him.
we werent planning on it. It's doing pretty well as is. I do however appreciate you listening
:icon_wink:
Glad you can give 125% Madddawg!
Everyone call and we will drown out the competition.
You must only catch the sections where Tech is talked about if you think we get more calls about Tech than we do LSU. Especially last week, there was hardly any call volume as far as Tech was concerned and there was more than the one ULM caller that you are referring to.
As far as Tuesday pushing the buttons, I don't agree. It was more of us just speaking the facts and knowing that if it wasn't for our family of stations, there wouldn't be any advertising as far as this week's game is concerned.
Thanks for listening as always buddy!
Maybe I didn't word that well. When it comes to college discussion it is 40/60 lsu/Tech. NOBODY cares about nlulm except the one guy who calls in and knows nothing about Tech's history. He is always comparing Tech/nlulm like they similar in 1A accomplishments.
In addition the show has about 25% high school talk. Maybe more when Fridays are factored in.
bluecrew, you have that goober nlulm grad from Bastrop who takes up waaaaay too much time with his Tiger Rag crap that is always old news by the time we hear him speak. That segment shouldn't count.
The show was GREAT today with Coach Williams! Y'all did a good job.
Tread lightly on the Bastropian
Really enjoyed the interview with Coach Williams. The man's an icon to Tech.
Nick,
You should of asked Coach Williams what team he is coaching now. He is my OC of the Tackle 1 Bulldogs--undefeated 9-10 year old football team where is grandson is the QB.
