OFF TOPIC WAPO Mulkey article


I have to say this. I was not a Tech fan until the tail end of the Lady Techsters run of greatness. So many people have shared on BTB about Mulkey and everything that was going on back then. As I have read the article I don’t understand the negative reaction from Mulkey threading to sue WAPO. The article is honest and shows her as being human. She is a tough woman and has very high expectation. I read this article and it sort of reminded myself of the last dance about Jordan. I’m sure that Mulkey would love the comparison of being like Jordan but it isn’t too far off. She wanted it all. She wanted to be a wife, a mom, a coach, and a champion. She had expectations and her ego and her greatness doesn’t want to be tarnished. She comes off cold in the article and expects loyalty from those that are close to her, the same as MJ. She holds grudges just the same as MJ and yet she is viewed as being a terrible person. Yet we view MJ as the greatest ever and his legacy is never tarnished by fighting teammates, allegations of betting while playing, grudges with Grant, Thomas, and others. After reading this it makes me proud that she was a Techsters and that our greatness comes her grit and the grit of others. It makes me wish that we made more of that again in Ruston.

If you have not read it I would highly recommend that you do. Lots of Tech things in there. Also so much more to unpack as well.

FOOTBALL March Madness w/ a Football Flavor - Bracket

My buddy @dnade07 reached out to me in the last couple of days about putting together a March Madness Bracket together for Tech football play. All-Time. He's put together 32 names, and we'll vote on players throughout the next couple of weeks and find out who is the "Best" Louisiana Tech Football player of all-time.

What are the qualifications for "best"? That's entirely up to you.

The 32 players that are in the bracket are as follows:

Xavier Woods
Smoke Harris
L'Jarius Sneed
Justin "Jellybean" Ellis
Amik Robertson
Terry Bradshaw
Fred Dean
Troy Edwards
Jeff Driskel
Boston Scott
Tramon Williams
Ryan Moats
Josh Scobee
Quinton Patton
Willie Roaf
Ryan Allen
Kenneth Dixon
Trent Taylor
IK Enemkpali
Matt Stover
Vernon Butler
Mike Barber
Carlos Henderson
Roger Carr
Pat Tilley
Luke McCown
Tim Rattay
Milton Williams
Roland Harper
D'Anthony Smith
Jaylon Ferguson
Jordan Mills

That's 32 names. Here's the catch, David is young and might have left off a guy or two from "back in the day." If you think we should add a guy, please post in this thread. Post who we should add, and who we should drop. First round matchups start on Thursday at 7 AM.

Fire away!!

BASEBALL GAME THREAD | Diamond Dogs vs FIU

Louisiana Tech will play its first road series of the season at FIU this weekend.

Thursday | 5:30 PM
Friday | 5:30 PM
Saturday | 11:00 AM

All 3 games will be on ESPN+/SportsTalk 97.7 FM.

Lane Burroughs loves to talk about how talented FIU always is, but I love to talk about all the “names” they like to recruit. Orlando Hernandez’s son is a reliever for them. Joel Pineiro’s son is a starting pitcher for them. AJ Puk’s brother is a starting pitcher for them. They love some good pedigree, I guess.

Offensively, the Panthers have been pretty good hitting .290 and averaging over 7 runs per game.

On the mound, FIU has an era nearing 6. They walk a bunch of guys, and they hit a TON of guys.

Should be a good road test this weekend. Need to win this series.
