If I was Sonny I would take any job now... What a complete joke and Tech deserves all the crap they get from the Sunbelt folks. Thanks Bruce

Not good. This LTU/ULM thing needs to get fixed.. Players deserved better.

I put this one squarely on the influential people in our fan base having too big an ego.

FWIW, I do know that NIU going to the Orange Bowl was what they were banking on NOT happening. If that was the case we get a bid to play Tulsa.

It's a really ****** up situation.

I understand not what you were hoping, but it makes La Tech look like a petulant kid. Doesn't look good in any fashion.

Maybe its wrong but I had heard our offer was on Friday. And Monroe wouldn't have gotten invited had we taken it. Would ESPN really allow two small market teams 30 miles apart to play in a bowl game on their network?

Wow....how in the heck can somebody let something like this happen? The AD should be fired ASAP. That move might end up setting the program back a few years. Wonder what the recruits will think of this?

Hell I don't love that ECU is going to the New Orleans Bowl, but the idea that we'd have turned that game down hoping to get something better would be grounds for someone to lose their jobs.

Sad day for Tech athletics. I hope they fire the whole admin. So disappointed not only as a fan, but for the huge number of Seniors who got mixed up in a bunch of STUPID politics.

ULM is going to eat La Tech alive on the recruiting trail over this. "La Tech is scared of us".

Given how much money is being shelled out to pay for the upcoming CFB playoff, I'm sure ESPN wouldn't have been financially crippled by the Independence Bowl. C'mon now, be serious.

I for one would prefer to play Tech and be in a league with you. Posters are right, ego's are screwing it up for the players and the real fans of the game...

Wow, and I thought Southern Miss made a bad bowl decision last year. This definitely tops it.

As they should this is a pathetic move by Tech. It's small time. Losing to ULM (who is a solid football team) isn't anything to be ashamed of, but making it clear you think you are above playing them when you clearly aren't makes you look like a joke.
