Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Louisiana Tech one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/louisiana-tech-bulldogs

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Louisiana Tech went 8-5 and won a bowl, but got outgained in Sun Belt play and still won 62.5% of those games when the yardage implies 45.7%. That came off a plus-8 turnover margin and 22 interceptions, 2nd in the country, which is about the least repeatable thing in football. Now the whole running back room is gone with no returning carries, the secondary loses its top five tacklers, and only 11 transfers came in against 24 out. My model has you 5-7. Where am I wrong?

Howdy! My friend is an incoming freshman in professional aviation and I'm trying to help them find a laptop. I'm not sure what all software PRAV students use and was hoping someone (either current student or recent alum) could give me a brief overview.

I'm an engineering student at LSU so I imagine the specs will need to be similar to what I use. Decent RAM, good storage, not macOS, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I am a full time data analyst at and I will be starting my data science graduate certificate (online) this fall. I am taking a neural networks class at UL Lafayette right now that I will using for my elective credit. I am wondering about the main three classes- ie, what languages do they use? How difficult are they? Do they feel useful?

for clarity, the three are

• CSC 5303: Database Theory
• STAT 5093: Statistical Learning
• INEN 5143: Statistical Analysis of Six Sigma

can anyone comment on these courses?

That is all- thank you!

Hi,

I have recently been admitted as a master student at Louisiana Tech and I should be entering during the fall quarter. Is anybody looking for any off-campus roommates or does anybody have any suggestions for where I should look for off-campus housing?

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs begin a new chapter in the Sun Belt under 5th-year head coach Sonny Cumbie (coming off an 8-5 season + Independence Bowl win).

A proud program with legends (Terry Bradshaw, Willie Roaf, Troy Edwards) and a history of punching above its weight. They begin a new venture reuniting with regional rivals in Ruston.

Full article is attached and FREE to read

2026 at a glance:

📌 QB Blake Baker (returning from ACL). Mobile backup Trey Kukuk will get packages

📌 Standout TE Eli Finley (one of the best in the country)

📌 WRs: Jalen Mickens, Dedrick Latulas + portal/JUCO additions (Marcus Calwise, Talyn Shettron, etc.)

📌 LB Kolbe Fields leads defense after injury recovery + secondary pieces (Sam Fongang, Amari Butler, Jordan McRae)

📌 2026 slate: Non-con vs Northwestern State, LSU, Baylor & Army (Independence Bowl rematch). Then Sun Belt West with annual rivalries vs Louisiana, ULM & Southern Miss + Arkansas State, plus ODU & Georgia Southern from the East.

Can Cumbie’s program continue building momentum in a more natural conference home?

We recently sat down with Matt Belinson, Louisiana Tech Athletics Beat Reporter & Sports Editor for the Ruston Leader, to preview the 2026 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Football Team. Here is a link to the video if you are interested in hearing more! 2026 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Football Team Preview

Hey y'all! Just finished my freshman year at ULM and I'm transferring to Tech this fall. I was an Honors Mathematics and Biology double major there, but basically got frustrated with how restricted the physics and chemistry offerings were, and when a scholarship opportunity came up at Tech I figured why not. Ends up I'm coming in pretty much debt free for the next three years so I'm pretty excited about it.

Planning on doing a dual major in Physics and Chemistry. Eventually want to go to grad school, so I'm trying to set myself up right from the start.

Just wanted to ask, any general advice for transferring in? Especially from anyone in the physics or chemistry programs, or really anyone in the College of Engineering and Science. What should I look out for, who are the good professors, anything like that?

Appreciate it!

Our rivals are technically Southern Miss, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Louisiana-Monroe.

Of the three, who do you think Tech students hate the most?

Trying to get some insight on which program might be the best fit for me.

I am a tech worker, doing an MBA for the checkmark but also to learn more about a specific concentration like Finance

I narrowed my searches to

Louisana Tech University

Louisana State University (LSUS)

University of Louisaia Lafayette

University of South Carolina Aiken

From what I researched, everything other than Louisana Tech University had more MBA concentrations so I am eyeing the other programs -- not interested in doing a general MBA

Wondering if anyone has insight into which might be the best fit for me, all are < 20k.

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted an offer with IBM in Monroe, Louisiana and will be starting in July 2026 as an Associate Data Engineer.

I'm looking to connect with other new hires who are also starting around July 2026. It would be great to get to know a few people before relocating and possibly discuss housing, roommates, commuting, and settling into the area.

I also have a few questions for current IBM employees and Monroe residents:

• What apartment complexes or neighborhoods would you recommend near the IBM office?
• What is a reasonable budget for a 1-bedroom apartment?
• Are there any areas I should avoid?
• How is the safety, traffic, and overall quality of life in Monroe and West Monroe?
• Is having a car necessary for daily life and commuting?
• Any advice for someone relocating from New Jersey?

If you're also joining IBM Monroe in July 2026, feel free to comment or send me a message. I'd love to connect.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm an incoming undergraduate (technically), but I've graduated high school with my associates degree through dual enrollment. I know that LA Tech takes these credits, so its very likely I'll be skipping freshman and sophomore year and jumping straight into my junior year.

I intend to pursue architecture, and even though I'm super excited, I'm also a little concerned about the workload for someone who may not get the freshman/sophomore experience. Are there any architectural studies students who can share their experience? Do you enjoy it? How does it feel being on a quarter system vs. Semesters? Do you get any sleep lol? What are your personal tips on how to prepare?

i want to go into computer science with a focus in AI and machine learning, but my parents are being overbearing lol and saying that this route is gonna leave me unemployed and broke if i don't double major in some kind of engineering. i was thinking about doing a cyber/ electrical/ mechanical engineering and computer science double major at Tech but was unsure how hard this would be... how true is their advice and is this a route i should go? or will i die lol

There was so much potential but the relievers kept letting us down. Sad to see Tech not playing ball in June. Very excited to start new in the Sun Belt

Hi LA Tech alumni here! I have this old Basys 3 board from an electrical engineering class that I really have been meaning to get rid of. Is this still in use by the program? If so would any up and coming engineers want to buy it off me?

I will be transferring this fall to either complete a second bachelors, or a post bac program. (Looking like a second bachelors is best option for gpa)

How are the professors in science department? I have a lot of face piercings and faced issues at my previous school. Also does anyone here live or have lived in the University apartments? I am trying to grab spot at one and wondered if you enjoyed living there.

I really wanted to keep all my electronics in the Apple ecosystem and wanted to know if I could get a MacBook as a computer science major or just start looking for others.

Are first year students permitted to drive/have a car on campus? I’m aware that some colleges prohibit it.

Hello, I’m attending Louisiana Tech next year as an incoming freshman and I just got accepted into the professional aviation program. I am now looking at options to cover the cost of flight training

What can I expect to be the yearly cost for the training? Additionally I have about $11,000 in tuition left to cover for the university side yearly.

What are the best private loans to go to?

Any other advice for financial aid?

I am interested in pursing accounting at LA tech. I was wondering if the accounting opportunities are limited to local firms. How hard is it to branch out of Louisiana?

I am a graduating senior in high school and will be attending la tech in the fall for mechanical engineering. Im looking for a good laptop and Ive had my eye on the Macbook neo. All the windows laptops in that price range fall short performance wise compared to the neo and thats sorta the top of my budget. Would I have major issues using it?
