Monroe News Star article

Saturday's game against North Texas represented a chance for the Bulldogs to make a statement. As the four-time defending champion of the Sun Belt Conference, North Texas is the league's standard bearer.

The same Sun Belt which Tech spurned in order to cast its lot with the Western Athletic Conference, a move Sun Belt commissioner Wright Waters has ridiculed ever since.

In easily handling the Mean Green in a 40-14 homecoming victory before 19,481 at Joe Aillet Stadium, the Bulldogs (3-3) were able — for one Saturday — to make a point.

"I think this one game does," Bicknell said. "When you look at what the WAC has done and what the Sun Belt has done, frankly there's no comparison. That's not to say anything bad about the Sun Belt, but the WAC is an established conference that's had some success against some very good teams."

That disparity was evident in the first half as the Bulldogs rolled out to a 27-0 lead, dominating the Mean Green (2-4) in every facet of the game.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Haven’t seen this mentioned, but once again…… We started the season out pretty well. Got some local and national attention, to the point we were a trendy pick. “Tech better watch out!” Reece Davis on ESPN Game Day picked us as his “superdog”. We were starting to turn a corner regarding perception. And not only do we get beat, we got absolutely destroyed on national TV. Outclassed, out coached, out played and embarrassed. We were taking a few steps forward only to get hit in the face ONCE AGAIN and get launched back to what many think is our rightful place. How many people paying attention to our game vs TTech didn’t even bother to look at the schedule to see our next games much less make plans to show up. This probably happened about halfway through the 2nd quarter of that game. We are in a situation where we have no room for error. When you’re in this situation, no amount of marketing can overcome getting embarrassed like we were in Lubbock. We had our chance. Blew it.

      If Tech steals Eric; should we give Dave Aranda a shot?

      Yes, please. Why do we always relegate UNT to thinking we just have to go after someone else’s failure? We need to find a Lance Leipold, in my opinion. Find a proven winner at a lower level.

      I was just making a joke regarding the thread about Tech stealing Morris.

      And he just scored a TD to make it 35-10 with 8:00 to go in 3rd.
