re: Pray for Tyrone Duplessis family RB La Tech

it is certainly a tragic day for tech. most all universities deal with this at some point. from what i remember, tech have actually been relatively fortunate in this regard.
ironicaly, his best performance was probably against lsu in the 2009 game. first and second string backs hobbled or out with injuries and he had around 70 yards rushing if i remember right. thanks for the kind words.

he is absolutely fearless across the middle, knows he is going to get rocked and rarely drops the ball, even after violent contact. and you never hear a peep out of the guy either, if he catches 1 or 10 balls in a game, no prima donna at all.

as a latech alum and fan, i am obviously thrilled with beating any sec school at their place, no matter how bad they are. and the "how would tech do in the sec debate" i read about on this thread got me thinking just how unusually unbalanced the sec is this year. bama and lsu are great, but after that the next two best teams are arkansas and georgia. really good teams, but i would not call them great. i would not give latech much of a chance against any of those teams (maybe a slight chance vs. georgia if we played them at home, which would never happen anyway). but no one else in this conference looks that good. i watched south carolina play florida yesterday. good D, bad offense. vandy, auburn, florida...decent teams. tennessee, msu (i know they beat us), kentucky, ole miss, not so good. it is a top heavy league this year.

dooley is the real deal. he seems to be a great hybrid of nick saban (who he worked under at lsu and with the dolphins) and his father. he is organized and meticulous, very detailed oriented, much like saban. he is much more media friendly and personable with alumni.
he absolutely will get in a player's face on the sideline (see it on you tube). yet the players seem to love him.
he has done two years of a five year contract so far. he did have an interview with auburn but seems happy in ruston. he seems like he wants to build things and see them through.
he has upgraded the athletic department and also is the AD on paper now, although he has an assistant that runs the day to day operations.
unfortunately, i am sure he will move on (later than sooner i hope) and i would assume his destination is either virginia (he played there) or an sec school.
as for women's basketball, beating tech is no big deal anymore. as for next november in tiger stadium, we'll see. we are young and should only get better. if lsu gets it together and finds a qb, we don't have that kind of depth. but neither does troy state. i'm looking forward to it.

ull is eligible and could be taken, but the I bowl and espn want a match up that someone outside the state might watch.
memphis, nc state are the likely candidates to play tech. i actually think tech and ull would produce a good crowd in the stadium, but definitley not appealing for tv.

i am a tech fan and grad. not an lsu hater, just ambivalent about lsu mostly. anyone reasonable understands the pecking order and that lsu has the $, conference, state suppport, etc. to be the superior team in the state. but as a tech fan, we think we are #2 in that spot and hopefully will gain some more ground. now if lsu continues to falter (early 90's tigers) for a few years, tech could make significant in roads in recruiting, especially if we can hang on to dooley for 2-3 more years. who knows about next year's game? hard to predict what college athletes will do tomorrow much less a year from now. if these two teams played tomorrow, i think it would be a very competetive game. see you in november 2009.
re: We are the second best team in the state this year

ok, i'll play...i am a 42 y/o tech grad and fan, but i only became a tech fan when i went to college there. as a boy, all i knew was cholly mac, charles alexander, and john ferguson. i don't hate lsu now, just relatively ambivalent. i would guess if tech and lsu played on a neutral field next week, lsu would be about an 8-10 point favorite. both teams have the same record and lsu has played the stronger schedule, but in that strong schedule they haven't beaten anyone good. who is the best team lsu beat? auburn? south carolina? average at best, but better than anyone tech has beaten. our best wins are probably vs. mississippi state (our only common opponent and very similar results),and vs fresno state. we did lose to army 14-7...no excuse, but it was several weeks in a driving cold sideways rain. and our nevada loss yesterday was the mirror image of lsu loss vs arkansas the day before, letting a big lead slip away. and nevada is a quality team. not great, but a good team with a matt jones type qb, minus the cocaine.
give lsu vs tech a neutral field game right now and i would guess lsu wins 7 times. the problem for lsu is it would seem tech is ascending while lsu is descending. clearly, things can change dramatically from season to season, so who knows what will happen next year when they play. i am looking forward to it though.
tech is probably in the I Bowl, to be announced monday afternoon.
