Swap Loser Tech with stAte instead then. We're getting stuck with a sucky MAC team in our bowl game. I'm sure C-USA could've done better for us.

LA Techs stubborn issue with ULM is just beyond stupid.

What could be a great game back and forth between close rivals is nixed because some of thier administration (and fans) have a major ego complex against ULM.

This one could bite the bulldogs in the arse big time.

SMH at this whole thing.

This happened to Memphis back in the stone ages. We turned down one bowl game thinking the Gator Bowl was going to invite us. They didnt.

La. Tech AD telling Bruce Feldman they wanted to wait to see if Heart of Dallas and Liberty Bowls would take them. But Indy Bowl wouldn't wait on La. Tech, and just moved on. He also says it has nothing to do with ULM being in that bowl (which I don't believe of course).

This still amazes me... How in hell can Bruce be that damm stupid? Even if he isn't making all the decisions he is going to take the fall for this. The fanbase base beyond pissed as they should be.

As a counter point the Indy Bowl isn't going to make many fans in the area either and they should have done whatever they could to get Tech in despite their own stupidity...

9-3 and at the house - seems like '97 or '99 all over again

La Tech obviously overplayed their hand, but their situation highlights the problem with the bowl system. A 9-3 quality team deserves more than one invite.

Sucks to raise 20k dollars in the one year out of the last 7 you don't go to a bowl.

I could understand that , if that's true.. You wait to see who all is going to make offers, and if the Indy bowl just said.. "yes or no, choose now", I don't blame LTU at all for waiting to see if they got a better offer. Because once you choose, you can't back out of it.

But usually don't the bowls directors get together to say who they're going to make the offer to? You'd think someone would have told La Tech nobody else is calling, you'll have to take the Indy Bowl

But if it was because they didn't want to play a local team in a bowl game, that's as petulant as you can get, and then the AD needs to get fired, ASAP.

Normally this wouldn't happen but since the WAC only had 1 tie-in this year......

My thoughts exactly. Yes, I'm mad that we aren't going but if we just tried for a bigger bowl and a spot didn't open I can live with that. If we turned it down not to play ULM I'm furiously mad at our administration and the AD needs to be hung from the goalposts at Joe Aillet Stadium.

Has the independence bowl named ulm's opponent yet? If not, I suppose it could still work out. Some people would have to swallow their pride.

Not according to the Indy Bowl. Official says you were offered Saturday to play ULM, not you or ULM.
