7 years ago today. Shortly after 1:30 am, a tornado began moving through Ruston, taking 2 lives, while destroying homes, businesses, and both the @LATechSB and @LATechBSB stadiums. A day we will never forget. A day that we hope never happens again. #RustonStrong

@NealMcCready you know what you have to do….. #RustonStrong

6 years ago this morning. While every day we see the positive things that came from this, we also remember what we went through and the family we lost. #RustonStrong youtu.be/yKiHC2ZPFM0?si=w6Hp…

Louisiana Tech’s preseason All-CUSA LB Hugh Davis likes what he sees from the Bulldogs linebacker room at the start of fall camp. 🐶 “Our linebacker room is really versatile. Everybody has their own skill set, but if you put us all out there together we all blend well.” @HUGH__DAVIS Quote via: @LATechSports @LATechFB #RustonStrong
