No worries man. We're all black friends.

Are these guys the biggest docuhers in the NCAA? They have to be in the running.

[cl_1_2008]

I'd say they're treading dangerously close to that line.

[GreenBat]

I hope La. Tech sits home. They actually could have made money playing in the Independence Bowl. But because they hate ULM so much they are going to cost the program exposure and their conference money.

[PlummMeanGreen]

No worries man. We're all black friends.

My main man was Herman Cain (even over Rick Perry) but he didn't make it to the finish line.

GMG!

PS: La Tech will now have more pure recruiting time and probably with all the players

they are losing wanted the extra time that a bowl game "might" have taken away?

Hell, I think I would have still taken the bowl game if I were the Dawgs.

Total crap since the Independence Bowl has accomdated La Tech in the past. Feel bad for the seniors on that squad

It wouldn't suprise me in the least if the players had a say in the decision. If that's the case, I don't feel sorry for any of them.

[THOR]

Why the hell would you ever say no to a bowl??? What a bunch of wankers!

[GreenBat]

A post from the La.Tech board. This guy is not happy.

The IBowl gave us an offer and we spat in their faces and told them that we were to good for them. Then when we come crawling back to them and ask for them to take us and they say no thanks... You idiots thing it is THEIR FAULT. God you people are morons. I am a Tech alum and this has just reaffirmed my belief that this school is run by too many arrogant pricks and too many arrogant alums. We have the first back to back winning seasons in a decade and somehow now we are TOO GOOD to play a bowl game. Hope your happy while your arrogant a**es sits at home. Im going to go watch ULM play in the Ibowl even though I have no ties to them.

La Tech was really good this year- great game against the aggies. I am really shocked they passed up a bowl.

This was a AD & HC decision. Dykes probably wanted the time to interview for other opportunities & their AD has been vocal about his dislike of ULM

Players Are upset

[NT03]

Looks like it will be Ohio vs ULM. I may go if I get bored, it's been awhile since I've been to a bowl

Karl Malone not too happy with AD , check him out on twiiter @TheDeliverer_32

La Tech AD explains why Bulldogs aren't going bowling

La Tech AD explains why Bulldogs aren't going bowling

That doesn't make sense to me. HEart of Texas bowl had already got an acceptance from Purdue and the other tie in was a BIGXII team and all of their tie ins would be filled

Karl Malone ‏@TheDeliverer_32

I am Bulldog to the core, I am heart broken and embarrassed that our university would do this to Tech Nation. To our football and staff this

Karl Malone ‏@TheDeliverer_32

Wouldn't it be nice to hire a person doing it for university, and not somebody doing it for a bigger and better job in their mind?

"Louisiana Tech was offered a bid Saturday to play Louisiana Monroe," an Indepedence Bowl official told ESPN. "They turned it down."

[Runner]

What a bunch of dumb shits turning down a bowl game. Let me guess they thought they would get a crack at Notre Dame. Memo to La Tech " You Suck" big time. So moving on how many of you UNT fans are coming to SA for the show down with UTSA? Come and tailgate with us. should be fun. No there won't be any KFC chicken. lol.
