I read once, the UCLA and Notre Dame and LSU programs went through major lulls in the years after they turned down a bowl game appearance.

The deal is to go to a BOWL and MAKE MONEY---Ready to go with Jay to a NO repeat---a win win win win!!!!! Money fun press recruiting!!!!!!
By CDC mortality tables, utilizing the LOWEST death rate for any age in the 18-35 age group [males only], which would skew the actual number downward, if we assume a constant deployed military presence of 200,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the expected death rate from all causes would be 4,966 per YEAR... Turns out it is quite a bit safer to be in the military in a war zone than to be anywhere in the US, at least in terms of mortality. I do not have tables for accidental injury.
So, no, it isn't a stupid statement, though I doubt he researched it before he made it.
You all should visit Flint, MI!
But, how many fans would travel to a bowl game in Detroit? We would look like SD State did in the NO Bowl and maybe not that many. I'm afraid we would lose money on that one. But, better than no game at all. I sure hope we keep it to a bowl game within driving distance of Lafayette and can have another great showing of fan support.
Detroit = boxes and boxes of REAL Cuban cigars across the river in Windsor, Ontario. That makes it a worthwhile trip.
I'm going to say this...not ready to expound yet
I think, as far as the Sun Belt is concerned, any previous thoughts on how which bowls wind up with which teams will be moot.
We have a new commissioner and he doesn't think the same way as the old one.
Just sayin.........
It's not that a bowl game in Detroit is beneath us, I just don't want to die....yet.
Jeez---Let's win another game or two before we pack our bags!
(All this speculation will put the gris-gris on us)
