Word out of our ticket office this morning is that SMU had sold only 163 of the 1,000 tickets sent to them by TECH.

Hell, we will take more than 200 people to Fresno.

What's the problem Pony fans?

Eventually I would like to see a 12 team WAC to ease travel costs and a split into division play.

Who those tow teams are? I think New Mexico State would be the best bet in the West with maybe Utah State #2. I think that ULL (USL) would be a leader in the east if they could get their football ...

"Just received the reservation for Horseshoe Casino for the La. Tech game. This is going to be a great trip every other year."

"Hope all KSU fans are like you -- you clearly represent your university well. See you in August, and best of luck this year, after what we hope will be an upset in Manhattan."

TECH wins going away...

The core of the team is still young, but not as young as last year when they experienced a heartbreaking loss to UCF and two close losses at Miami and Auburn - which were both ranked teams.

TECH's offense will be better this year because of Joe Smith and young Luke just ...

But as SMU isn't a member of the Big12, I don't see your point.[/B][/QUOTE]

A poster stated earlier that beer was sold at all SEC stadiums - I've been in 8 of the 12 and have not been able to by a beer yet.

I just included the Big XII because I have been in 6 of them and haven't seen beer ...

BEER will be available at the LA TECH/SMU game in Shreveport on Sept 1 - all of ya'll please come and enjoy.

BTW - I have never seen beer sold in a stadium on an SEC or Big XII campus.

Go Tech and Go Dawgs!

Yes, there is a Ralph & Kacoo's in Bossier City - you take the Benton Road Exit off of I-20 east.

You can see it from I-20 and there are plenty of billboards.

If you like Ralph & Kacoo's, I would also suggest Copeland's and Don's Steak & Seafood (my favorite) both are on the Shreveport side of ...

[[B]Does the stadium have a place for RV's to park over night? Or could you post the phone number so I can call them - Thanks.

Yes, the stadium is located on the Louisiana State Fairgrounds - directly off of I-20. It has overnite RV parking complete with hookups and it also has a lot (north ...

Dwayne --
What are some good places to go out in Shreveport, other than the casinos? Are Tech fans hospitable to visiting teams' fans?

I would say most TECH fan's are very hospitable, if you see any tailgating just walk-up start talking football and I'm sure they will feed you.

I'm sure our ...

How many of you are making the trip to Shreveport for the season opener on September 1 vs the Dawgs?

There is alot of discussion on our board over how many fans ya'll will actually bring -

My guess is somewhere between 1,500 to 2,000...

Many other are saying 4,000 or more...

What would ...
