La Tech Roll Call

keith · October 14, 2013

If you are "fresh" its better to use precaution - it is Homecoming and I expect the Tech Barneys and ATF guys/gals to be out in force...

You know we've turned the corner when......we are no longer considered Homecoming fodder. If there's a record for the most times a university has played as the opponent in a Homecoming game, we'd own that by a mile. Predicting the corner officially turned on 10/19/2013. GMG!

There will not be a lack of alcohol on campus, it's just better to use precaution...

Styrofoam cups are further proof God was a man

This guy. I like this guy.

I've only ever tailgated in the state of Louisiana once -- at LSU -- for baseball. Dear god and mother of all things indecent and foul, but I only vaguely remember being there. I couldn't walk five feet without some dude in yellow and purple shoving a beer and a bowl of red beans and rice in my face. And baseball being baseball, I was there for THREE DAYS!

Moral of the story, between my experience in Baton Rouge, and what I've heard out of Lafayette and Monroe from our Sunbelt days, I really do expect a great time in Ruston. Everything I've seen and heard tells me the entire state is one of the most hospitable in the country.

Any chance we can get the AD to get a bus ride to the game for students ?

be careful driving throughout Ruston or the blind people will come out of nowhere

Is there a drive-thru daiquiri stand between Shreveport and Ruston?

Do Louisianans eat crawfish in the fall?

Does the Louisiana government really think I'm gonna fall for that non-casino video poker they have in the bars ever again?

What do I get in exchange for beads in Ruston?

How's your duck call?

No, seriously, I freaking LOVE red beans and rice. I mean, I LOVE that stuff. If you threw me on a desert island with nothing to eat for the rest of my miserable life but red beans and rice, I'd be juuuust fine with that.

I had a girlfriend from Shreveport BEFORE it had casinos. Man that place was a dump back then.

So, no, really. Is there a drive-thru daiquiri stand on I-20 between Shreveport and Ruston?

I think there is one on the frontage road between Ruston and Grambling which is like only 3-5 miles apart and try Ponchatoulas for good Cajun food

Oasis Daiquiri - right next to Rabb's on the frontage road

cruise control is your friend...

Yep - that's the plan!

Was hoping that this would be the plan -- as it was a bus ride to hot springs in 2012 that really got me on board with loving the Mean Green. Unfortunately I don't see this happening... This bus ride to hot springs was planned out months in advance, and I have yet to hear anything about a bus ride to Ruston.

Be careful coming over -

Here are some tips -

3) If you drink - ditch the can or bottle and pour into the cup - white Styrofoam is best, red solo is for losers from Oklahoma

Hey now....I resemble that remark!

Be gentle - it was a rough weekend. Mean Green win helped heal the wound.

Green cup. You're such an athletic supporter.

Anyone know if the Green Brigade is going? Closest road game of the year.

It will be Scout Day at Joe Aillet Stadium as all boy and girl scouts are invited to attend the game. For only $10 per participant, scouts will receive admission to the game, an exclusive LA Tech Football scout patch, flag ceremony

Scout Day must be something new they are trying this season
