Kids aren't coming here unless we're their only SEC option. All these kids know and other coaches know that this program is being run by slapdicks.

It's a dumpster fire. Every single fanbase out there that isn't winning makes negative comments.

Dan Quinn is so pathetic. This team is coming off a bye and looks even worse.


As an Arkansas fan, I can relate.

Drink is butthurt HY passed him up for Pittman. The dork is from Alma.


I believe he passed on us vs. the other way around. He saw that Missouri was a better situation.
Mizzou will kill us. They will be motivated after that arse whipping from Ole Miss.
I'm happy for them and Silverfield. It's been a rough year already.
Seems like Tech is playing down to its competition. Last week with ULL and now this.
I'm going to be mowing the front yard and sweeping up pine needles. I'm sure I will check the score once I'm done, but I hate watching this team right now.

Once I'm done, I will probably be watching the ULM-LA Tech game which was a really fun game back when I was a kid.
I love that this game has returned.

I would watch the games in Ruston as a kid and they always seemed like the biggest game of the year. NLU was a powerhouse under Collins and he was hated by Tech fans. Super intense games and NLU fans always packed the stands next to where my parents had seats. Good times.

At this point, the only way the SEC could punish us more would be to exclude us friom the super conference that will eventually be formed.

Of course, we would likely be left out anyway no matter what we do because football is such a joke and the decision makers don't care as long as it turns a profit. Why would you want a school in the new conference whose leadership is not committed in football?

Is Ouachita down this year? I thought this would be a lot closer.

56-14 Ruston

Not looking forward to seeing a kid from my hometown go crazy on us (Arkansas) for the next 3-4 years.

I guess i missed something. Why fire Silverfield, he that bad?


Most of the anger is directed at the AD, the BoT, and the administration. That being said, there's been no improvement as the season has gone on and our offense is the worst it's ever been. The coaching sucks.
I heard from.a couple of our talking heads that both Will Stein and Eric Morris were interested, but that HY didn't want to wait around for them to finish their seasons before coming onboard. I don't know how true those rumors are, but they were put out there.

It's not just our AD that is the problem, although he's a lot of it. The BoT allowed this problem to deteriorate over several years without doing anything about it. They seemingly didn't care how football went as long as it made money and to all of a sudden act like they're so concerned that they need to do a study about it is a joke.
I'm happy to see Tech doing well and it looks like Sonny has started to turn it around. They're now in the conference they should have been in years ago and these old regional rivalry games should be fun as heck. Those games against NLU, Arkansas State, and USL were always intense.

Arkansas won't win another game this year, so seeing Tech do well brings me a least a little football joy.

If a smaller, poorer state can fund two SEC schools, and we can’t fund one?


As I stated in my post, Ole Miss fans knew they had to step up with donations to be competitive and Lane was their coach. It was initially an investment to keep him and fund NIL so that he wouldn't leave for a bigger program if he could compete there. That was the thinking.

I doubt they would have gotten that involved if Matt Luke was still their coach. They've had a lot more to be excited about in recent years than we have and it's not that close.
Grew up in N. LA where we were effectively equidistant between Dallas and NOLA, but I've been a Steelers fan all my life.

Terry Bradshaw played at LA Tech and my dad taught Larry Anderson while he attended Tech, so I was raised to be a Steelers fan. Everything I got in my early childhood years that was football related was Steelers related. I grew up wanting to be able to hit like Jack Lambert and catch like Lynn Swann.

I wasn't even aware of the Saints until I saw a friend wearing a helmet and thought it was pretty cool, so I asked about them. I think this was when they were rarely ever on TV since they were just awful. I did adopt them as my "other" team during my junior high years and still root for them as long as they're not playing the Steelers.
