    fwiw, the hat I wear up here in Arkansas has the LA ECH on it and people routinely ask if I went to lsu. Some people are just dumb.

    Have to ask... Where are you wearing the state-T logos when asked if you are an alum or fan?

    If you're talking about a 50-100 mile radius of Ruston, of course people will know the logo. A lot of people in the Dallas area don't know what the state-T represents. Many assume it's another LSU logo. Admittedly, I can NOT figure out how they make the connection other than they see the state; therefore, it must be LSU. I can honestly say if we were in a P5 conference or men's basketball was consistently in the Sweet-16 round of March Madness the state-T would be just fine because of all the visibility it would have in the sports media. Someone posted earlier that we are trying to grow enrollment. That requires drawing in students from outside a 100-mile radius of Ruston. If the LA T ECH helps kids associate the university with the little sports media coverage we get then that is what's needed.

    I saw a lady in the grocery store the other day with UMHB on her shirt and cap. In the parking lot I saw a car a big UMHB sticker on the rear window. I have no idea what the heck that refers to. Haven't taken - and will not take - the time to google it. Only reason it stood out is because someone reacted to my Frisco Bowl shirt by saying they had a neice attending ULM. So I saw the U and M and thought of NLULM.

    Re: We got El A Tech'd again.

    I live in Houston and I have gotten many comments on just the State T. Several years ago a couple of guys asked what was Louisiana Tech's mascot although there was a small one on the back of my cap. But they did recognize the plaint State T logo. More recently an older hispanic man recognized the State T logo. I was pleased since he was a rodeo cowboy of the old school and in the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. He has grand daughters at Nebraska and I believe Okla State.

    Re: We got El A Tech'd again.

    People in San Antonio definitely know that the state T IS TECH. Most comments are that they want to pattern their sports after TECH's success. Some just come right out and say that Dixon was a beast!

    Almost everywhere I go actually. Disney World, Gulf Shores, Nashville, Utah, Colorado, and Hawaii to name a few. I don’t know if some of the people lived close to Ruston and were traveling like me.

    UMHB is University of Mary-Hardin Baylor. South Texas. My aunt and uncle are both professors there.

    Well, that beats University of Mane-Harbor Bay.

    No, I have no idea whether there is such an animal. If so, their mascot is probably Larry Lobster.

    Re: We got El A Tech'd again.

    People can know what the logo is outside of the immediate area. They can be on vacation or have moved from the area, or just br a big college sports person. But just because one or two do, doesnt mean everyone does. When someone recognizes it, that would not be someone who the logo with the name is making it easier for. Its better for people who are seeing it for the first time.

    Re: We got El A Tech'd again.

    I've NEVER had anyone confuse our logo with LSU's logo in all of my years - and I wear TECH garb just about everywhere and I try to buy just the State and Block T gear whenever I can...

    Now confusing the geography and thinking we are close to New Orleans and have alligators everywhere is a different matter altogether

    Agreed. I knew you were joking. As was I. We're good. Only one other didn't keep up.

    Just tell them "yes", that you went to LSU when the school colors were red white & blue.

    Its an interesting case study in academia...the ivory towers barely know what campus they're currently on.

    The baseball fans here, though. They recognize the hat.

    Re: We got El A Tech'd again.

    My wife and I just returned from a church group tour of Israel where I had a guy run up to me in Jerusalem pointed to my hat and said "go dogs". Never saw him before but he seemed to be with another group and was wearing a Tech polo (don't remember which logo).

    He was in Israel last week sporting his Tech gear
