Not going to happen dude, stop reading the Tech board. The WAC has no shot at placing a team in the NO Bowl.

The NECHS wouldn't bring 2,000 down here. FORGEDDABOUTIT!!! :hot::hot::hot:

If the NO Bowl officials honestly think the NECHS would bring more than a few thousand people down here, then they're COMPLETE idiots!!

I really think that USM would travel better than SMU to New Orleans. But I think your lower end would be about right for SMU and the upper end and beyond would work for USM. JMHO

You could be right about that.

Playing a middle of the pack WAC team, a conference that ESPN rates lower than the Sun Belt, is not the kind of opponent I want to see the Cajuns play in a Bowl game. I'd prefer the Cajuns to play someone that can provide some competition.

As much as I dislike Tech, they would provide plenty of competition for us.

And they would bring a decent crowd. But, after the stuff their admin pulled few yrs ago, I'd rather see them play in Idaho.

"worst case" for whom...

been in new Orleans since monday-ish, scouting places I may think will be "Cajun friendly" and I see.. and think no way , really huh?

I am ready for a Cajuns Nola bowl..

please don't think it would be "worst case" for, and maybe it is just me...although and
Therefore;

ps. selfishly and graciously i got no problem w/this match-up (giggles)

I was looking at bowl projections just 1-2 days ago on some smaller websites, and I did see one site that had the NO Bowl projected for this match up.

They were predicted a WAC and maybe MAC trade somewhere that would get this done. CUSA will be short teams...
