[1] The two teams have met 43 times on the football field, with Louisiana Tech currently holding a 29–14 lead in the all-time series.

The game was put on hiatus in 2000, following the Bulldogs' transition to the Western Athletic Conference,[2][3][4] but future matchups have been scheduled.

The early history of the series was dominated by Louisiana Tech, as the Bulldogs won 20 of the first 25 meetings between the two schools.

[5] Following Collins' tenure, however, Louisiana Tech once again began to dominate the matchup, winning 7 of the last 8 meetings, with a 1989 game that the Bulldogs initially won on the field, but later forfeited the victory, as the only blemish.

[13][14] In the summer of 2013, at his inaugural press conference, Louisiana–Monroe's new athletic director, Brian Wickstrom, announced his intention to play Louisiana Tech in football every year.

[15] In a press conference with a local newspaper, Dr. Les Guice, Louisiana Tech's president, indicated that an offer would not be heavily considered, as the future out-of-conference schedule was full.
