Alsander to USL...nope, now LaTech

[StrongBad]

Fact: Louisiana Tech does not play "Quality Football" not in two years anyway.
Fact: Your not an Ivy league school. Never will be.
Now how about you shove the recruiting trailor thing up you a## and get real with who you guys really are. A football team trying to establish some identity and respect nationally, just like ULM or USL.

For the record, what makes tech academically Superior to ULL? Please bqck it up with something of substance

We know how to use the proper contractions, punctuation, and capitalization. Also, we know how to make complete sentences and spell correctly.

At least we don't ban you and edit your posts. Welcome back.

I've been playing around a bit on ULL's message board lately, but I refrain from typing "ULL," since it always corrects you... THAT is just silly.

ULL and it's fans have major max insecurity issues.

Can we change the wording under Dawg06's name from "Champ" to "Fact Master"

[dawg80]

It's so nice to see all you Bulldogs playing with your little brothers, being nice, answering questions...makes me proud.

I like the lil Cajuns. It's a good school and at least their fans/supporters don't worship at the puke purple/vomit yellow altar like folks at other in-state schools do.

Y'all be nice to the lil Cajuns now, ya hear!

I prefer "Something of Substance" as Cajun82 would say...
