So, Where To, Cajuns?

[Chop]

I can assure you guys that the more bowl talk that happens on this board prior to us finishing the season, the more meaningless bowl we're going to. Talk about distracting, putting cart before horse, etc..bad juju. Let the kids finish the season on a winning streak before all the distracting talk--South Al and FAU are both quite capable of spoiling everything. The less bulletin board material for our opponents, the better.
Just my two cents.

What position do you play?

[Policarp]

I'd take Birmingham over Shreveport. Lived their after graduation. Once I got used to all the mullets it wasnt bad

[LOVAQUE]

BOP - IF Troy beats MTSU, the cajuns beat USA, and Ole Miss loses could you see bowl invitations going out a week early? This would guarantee ASU at least a share of the conference championship.

Ha. I played wingback in the wing T in high school in '83. Based on their performance at
NT and Ark St., I'm just saying this team has
Proved to be a little too neurotic and immature to warrant all this bowl babble.. going on about buying tickets and planning to
Play a big XII team...etc

---Just want to clarify what I think happened last year and is the modus operendi of the present bowl set up----A chosen school is given as many tickets to sell as they want---All the revenue of the Sales of tickets (UP TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT) go to that school---Last year I believe that we were able to get about $750K of money---in addition there was about a $50-$60K amount given for expenses----So I think that some Bowls let schools keep more money or give more expense monies---Can somebody give the correct procedure and how some Bowls are worth more???? Last year we burned the candle at both ends in that we had great revenue and pretty small expenses because of the NO location!!! I think that VOB and Jay will have the answer but probably 2 different versions!!! LOL

We are going to a bowl regardless. We are fans. We have the luxury of looking forward to futures opponents whether it's next week or next year. It's HUD's job to keep the team focused (as I expect he will). Relax guys. Enjoy the bowl talk and these next 2 games.

Cajunnation luvs the WAC, but hates the MAC.

It's possible, in fact, probable that some bowl bids will go out next week. There aren't a ton of games around the country on Dec. 1.

We'll know by the weekend whether the Liberty is open and that begins the domino effect.

I can't guarantee we'll know during the week, but if I were a betting man I would say yes...provided we win Saturday.

[BirdofParadise]

BOP....if we get to 8-4, and Ark State wins the conference....where do you peg our odds of playing in New Orleans?

Didn't read the blog, did you Charlie??? :-)

[CharlieK]

Didn't read the blog, did you Charlie??? :-)

Sure did. You mention Mobile or New Orleans if we are 7-5 or 8-4. I'm asking about the specific scenario where New Orleans has to choose between an 8-4 UL or SBC Champion Ark State.

[Cajunsmike]

100%. Ark State goes to Liberty or Go-Daddy.

I went to the Tech board. Many there are quite confident they will be in either the Liberty Bowl or the new bowl in Dallas. They view the Independence Bowl as somewhat of a letdown. I imagine that view is a result of their loss on Saturday.
