Louisiana Tech admins take too long on the pot, won't go bowling

[concise]

I was just going through the college bowl pick em ( http://www.the-coli.com/fantasy-sports/65833-official-college-bowl-pickem.html#.UL875Gf4IiM ) and making my picks, went through the whole thing, and noticed that I didn't see Louisiana Tech anywhere on the list. I thought I was seeing things.

But a google search showed they really weren't going anywhere and it's because they thought they earned the right to be choosy this year.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, 9-3, won't go to bowl game - ESPN

Athletic director Bruce Van De Velde told The Associated Press that Independence Bowl organizers offered a spot in their game on Saturday afternoon, but the Bulldogs had other possible options still available to them. Van De Velde said he asked the Independence Bowl for more time to make a decision, but was told by game organizers that they could not wait.

"Nobody turned a bowl bid down," he said. "We asked for more time to vet two other opportunities that we had that we felt good about."

Independence Bowl chairman Jack Andres said organizers had to set a deadline for Louisiana Tech. They were concerned if they waited they would be stuck with a team that was barely bowl eligible and too far away from Shreveport to bring many fans to the game.

wow

they finished 3rd in the WAC a conference which had two teams playing their first year of FBS football and two of the worst teams in the FBS

they overplayed their hand, and thought they were too good for the Independence Bowl against UL-Monroe.

Can you blame the Independence Bowl for not waiting?

"We don't want to say yes yet because we might get a better offer."

They found Karl Malone on the road trucking to comment. He was a dirty nikka on the court and that was with the cameras rolling. No telling what Mr. S-Curl can and will do behind closed doors.
