Probably becuase Marshall didn't make the decision.

Okay, Idk how many times I've heard over the past few years that the conference champion gets to choose their bowl. Hamrick tweeted that Banowski made the decision which goes against everything we've been told. Remember a few years ago Southern Miss chose the Hawaii Bowl and everyone flipped out?

That was a beatdown Tech 52 Illinois 24. Then they had fireworks after the game! Can you imagine; fireworks after a loss?!

Not. Funny. 05-nono

Okay. It's funny. 03-lmfao

It's only 4 hours west, straight down I-20 from Ruston. We should have a very good turnout.

CUSA needs another bowl against a P5 to get us to six bowls. We have too many schools for only 5 to go bowling and only 1 get a marquee matchup. The reward for doing for a 8 win or better season should at minimum be a game against a 6-6 P5 school. I would be incredibly ticked if I were Marshall or MT.

RE: Heart of Dallas Bowl: Louisiana Tech vs Illinois
Illinois is a very similar team to WKU , they use tight ends and have some nice receivers with a QB that's very accurate. They do tend to give up some points though. If you compare them to WKU......take 10-15 points away from our offense and they are about 15 points better on defense than us .

I'd say La Tech by 9.

37-28

For about 5,000 of LA Tech's alumni it is right down the street. :)

I don't disagree with what you are saying, but playing in Dallas allows me the opportunity to go to a bowl game, that I would not be able to attend, if Tech had gone to any of the other CUSA bowls. I think there are many in my situation.

We need an eastern bowl against the ACC for one of our eastern schools.

Good luck Bulldogs!

Hey Monarx, maybe when we get our sradium plans together Norfolk Southern would be interested in sponsoring a Thouroughbred Bowl. 04-cheers

We can't make it but my wife and I are going to buy some tickets and give them to friends and relatives. Anyone have the schedule of events for the HOD bowl. We will attend some of those.

Im angry we didnt get a shot at a p5, but i will say that NIU vs Marshall will garner higher ratings than HoD this season. NIU is by far the best opponent, G5 or not. Also its a 6pm game with no others on at the time. Winner of this game finishes in top 25 as well.

NIU who?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding . . .

Tech is 11-2 vs teams from Illinois:

Illinois 1 - 0
NIU 6 - 1
Illinois State 1 - 0
Illinois Wesleyan 3 - 1

Lost 2 - 0 to Illinois Wesleyan back in 1937.

I think it is the second largest metro concentration of Louisiana Tech alumni behind Shreveport. I see LA Tech alumni here on a regular basis.

LA Tech is closer to Dallas then UTSA is to Dallas.
