UAB Recap Tech beat UAB. All is right in the world. Digging a little deeper than that, there were two things that I suggested would be key for Louisiana Tech if the Bulldogs wanted to continue their home success against the Blazers: Win the rebounding battle Don’t fall behind early Tech was able to check […]

North Texas Recap There may be no such thing as a moral victory, but Tech’s 19-point comeback to tie the game in Denton is nothing to scoff at. Especially when playing against perhaps the best team in C-USA this year. Or maybe it is something to scoff at. But I’m not 100% sure what a

So here’s the plan. Each week, we’ll do a quick look into the men’s (and sometimes women’s) basketball program. We’ll recap the previous week’s game(s) and look ahead to the next week’s games. We won’t have a basketball contest up (this year, at least), but we all know Daniel Adams was probably going to win

Trades aren’t a thing in college sports. A coach can’t just go up to a student-athlete at Tech and tell them they’ve been traded to ULL. Not only is that not how things work, it would also be the meanest thing you could do to someone. But, like, what if you could? What if you

This Saturday, Tech and LSU are poised to meet up on the gridiron for the 20th time. But how have the last nineteen meetings gone for the Dogs? The short answer? Not well. The long answer? Umm, here’s this graph: This shows the point differential of each game played since the series started in 1901.

Author: Nathan Ruppel | @ntruppel Special Teams are such a weird concept in football. 87.5% of the time, the game consists of an offense versus a defense. (Okay, fine, I made that percentage up.) The two sides battle it out over the course of a possession, but once the drive is over, we let the

This Saturday, Tech opens up its season on the road against the South Alabama Jaguars. Then, next week, the Bulldogs return home to play the Southern Jaguars. That’s two straight weeks of playing a team called the Jaguars. At first that doesn’t sound too impressive, right? I mean the SEC has three teams named the
