SidJag..give the Techsters a chance? No thanks. Here is a post from the Tech board that is typical of most all Tech fans to the Sun Belt.

HogDawg:
"You've got to be kidding? That's EXACTLY why we just spent the last 11 years in the WAC: We wanted to disassociate ourselves from the extremely poor schools --which also have bad academics-- in the Sunbelt, and align ourselves with those that are more prosperous and more academically respected in CUSA.

Fact is, MOST of the schools in the Sunbelt are just like ULM. I guess you just don't know it."

HogDawg is a resident idiot on their board.

yes, that was immediately obvious.

LATech can rot on the vine as far as I am concerned!!

Sorry to disappoint you. We'll either be THERE (The Alliance) or HERE...get used to it. :)

Well, I have a $100 that says it won't be THERE.

What is the entry fee into the SBC, and is that money split amongst the member schools?

I'll raise 1000 that it won't be there and may not be here.

Some of us just wanted to give Tech a chance due to their proximity. They don't really add value to the Sun Belt just like they would be a bottom feeder in conference USA sucking up the TV money.

I really have no respect for that fan base anymore and I seriously hope we raid their home and don't give them a lifeboat. They can join a FCS conference with Idaho or go to the OVC. They certainly won't survive two seasons as INDY because they don't have the attendance or following to support.

And you could very well be correct.
