Rivalries
In football, LA Tech's rival is the Southern Miss Golden Eagles as the two teams compete in the Rivalry in Dixie which dates back to 1935. Southern Miss currently holds a 31–13 lead in the series. This will become a conference rivalry in 2013 when LA Tech moves to C-USA.
While in the WAC, LA Tech's conference rival was the Fresno State Bulldogs as both Bulldog football teams competed in the annual Battle for the Bone. Fresno State holds a 7-4 series lead in WAC play, but with Fresno State's 2012 move to the Mountain West in 2012 and LA Tech's upcoming move to C-USA, the future of the rivalry is in doubt.
LA Tech had a historical rivalry with the Northwestern State Demons as both teams used to play in the annual State Fair Game in Shreveport, Louisiana. However, LA Tech sacrificed this rivalry seeking greater national prominence for their programs by moving back to Division I-A.
The Lady Techsters basketball team's rivals include the Tennessee Lady Vols, LSU Lady Tigers, WKU Lady Toppers, and Fresno State Bulldogs.
