OT: La Tech playing in the Cotton Bowl in 2013

Great game for La Tech. Should help them recruit DFW better. Sonny Dykes is a great coach but I wonder how much longer he'll be there.

From Chuck Carlton:

Heart of Dallas, a charitable group taking over TicketCity Bowl, confirms La. Tech will play Army at Cotton Bowl Stadium on Sept. 28, 2013.

Just 2 straight seasons of success still a bit premature for La Tech to be "doing Dallas" for a game that would draw more in Shreveport. DFW is getting inundated with way too many out of state schools playing in our venues, but many will still play before many empty seats unless they are of Big 12 or SEC pedigree

I am not sure the Bulldogs keep their coach after this season, but I do think they should be in the Top 25 now or soon beings that Baylor was ranked #25 the week after they squeaked by ULM and then fell out of the rankings after their West Virginia loss.

IMO, we future CUSA'ers need to pull for all our present and future conference mates to get Top 25 rankings because that will mean we will have to work harder to get more recruits who can get us our first Top 25 ranking since the late 70's.

GMG!

PS: I am not worried one iota about our recruiting against La Tech. We have things with our campus and athletic venues that they don't have and most likely won't have for quite awhile. Not at the top of the list but how many realize Denton has almost 28,000 co-eds who attend both of its universities?

GMG !!
