  1. I am sure the financial situation at La Tech had something to do with the decision. If he had dreams of bigger jobs the next five years of financial hardship probably isn't the best way to bolster your resume.

    I think Tommy had also been open in the past about his son's autism and how he has reached a point where he needs more care than they can get in Ruston. I am sure Vandy has more resources for that situation as well.

    I like CUSA's future, a lot more than the Belt. 

    Just like I like the AAC's more than CUSA.

    All three of these conferences would be better off swapping teams a making regional conferences. 

     

    Agree 100%.

    Would love to see some regional conferences with UNT, SMU, UTSA, Rice, Houston, La Tech, UL-L, Tulane, USM, UAB, etc.

    Disagree 100% - I like the academic reputation Rice and also the opportunity to play  in Houston every other year.   I have been to Lafayette and it is nice little town (great seafood).  I would be fine with adding them but I think our friends in Ruston may have had an issue with it in the past.  I know UL wanted to get into the C-USA at one time.

    UL-L has repeatedly tried to get into CUSA but we (along with USM) have been in opposition. They might not even want to move now that the belt has improved a little bit.

    Personally, I would not be against letting UL-L in under the condition that they go by their state mandated name UL-L and drop the UL/University of Louisiana crap.

    I was reading the La Tech board and saw some comments about La Tech getting screwed by the state but not LSU...my response was not a well thought out one....

    All good. Many Tech fans complain about the state screwing over Tech, which they do, but LSU football has been pretty good to Tech when compared to the other state schools because Coach O and Holtz have a good relationship. We have held camps together that ULL has not been allowed to attend and I think Coach O steers kids to us that LSU doesnt have room for (see Amik Robertson)

    Hope you all are recovering.  I've experienced two in my lifetime and it takes a while to get things back in order.  Thankfully it was a fast moving storm.

    I am in McKinney but I understand that it is devastation in Lake Charles. Still no power three weeks later.

    Weird how that hurricane skipped over Baton Rouge and landed in Ruston....

    I am not sure what your point is or if you know about the hurricane, but Laura made landfall in Lake Charles near the TX/LA border and rode the border norther before turning east around Shreveport. Baton Rouge is hundreds of miles east of where the action happened.

  7. I posted the same in the other thread.

    Word is now that there were not 38 positives, but an unknown number of positives and a bunch of contract tracing.

    The remnants of Hurricane Laura knocked power out in parts of Ruston for almost a week so apparently there were a lot of sleepovers at places that had electricity that contributed to the contact tracing issues. Given that is a 14 day quarantine this puts our game @ USM in jeopardy as well. Could have ripple effect across CUSA scheduling.

    TRUE freshman!!

    This year provides an awesome opportunity to play true freshmen since everyone gets an extra year of eligibility. Basically a playing redshirt year.

    Tech has a freshman QB (JD Head) from Pearland that is looking fantastic in practice. We are either going to start Aaron Allen (who was the #2 last year) or the transfer from Abeliene Christian. Personally, I would rather play the true freshman and get him ready for next year.

    And you guys for everyone else 😄

    Considering we haven't even won the conference, that is surprising to me! We as a fan base are sick and tired of playing spoiler, but until we can reliably beat USM and UAB (who we call "daddy"), I guess it will remain that way.

    This season has been nothing but confusion so far. I did hear that a lot of the team was caught up in protests and such. I do t care which side of the fence they are on, but at this point, focus should be on playing football. If he let them off the reservation for that....maybe....but right now is not the time to fire someone because of a 1st game loss. 

    Based on what I am reading on Twitter from the USM universe, most fans are happy. For whatever reason, he has worn out his welcome there. It doesn't sound like an overreaction to week 1.

    Bean looked the best.

    D sucked.

    Addaway is a player.

    Zappy may be the best QB we face other than Shane.

    I watched the first half of y'alls game and would just say I would not worry about your defense yet.

     

    They were dinking and dunking all game. Cheap yardage. Why do anything about that? First game against HBU, no need to press and get creative. That brings me to my second point: I am sure you were playing base defense all night. Why show blitzes and schemes against HBU?
