Who would you rather see the Cajuns play in the New Orleans Bowl?

[LOVAQUE]

I just want a W. With an 11 am kickoff it could be a long day in the quarter after a loss. On the flip side, it will be one hell of a party after a Cajun victory

Who would you rather see the Cajuns play in the New Orleans Bowl?

These are the choices I have on the poll on my website www.thedailysportsbuzz.com

UCF (C-USA)
East Carolina (C-USA)
Tulsa (C-USA)
SMU (C-USA)
Rice (C-USA)
San Jose St. (WAC)
Louisiana Tech (WAC)

I have these choices because the New Orleans Bowl technically has the 6th C-USA tie in, and they only have 5 bowl teams,
and the WAC only has 1 bowl tie in and 3 bowl teams.

what do you guys think?

Other than the Liberty Bowl (which has the first selection of CUSA teams), there is no pecking order among the CUSA bowl tie-ins.

CUSA also has an agreement with the Military Bowl as a backup should the ACC or Army not be able to supply a bowl eligible team. Well, Army is not eligible. Thus, this is a seventh bowl for CUSA (with five eligible teams).

Rice. Beating a WAC school does nothing for us, and I see no reason to want to play a top tier CUSA school. I want a win; the only thing that anyone will remember is that we won or lost. Unless it is a top tier team from a power conference, I want the little sisters of the poor to play us.

Yep

guess the bowl game tie in wikipedia needs to be updated if your info is correct

Wikipedia says this:

The Sun Belt Conference has two guaranteed bowl tie-ins, with a contingency to fill up to three additional bowl slots.[13]
#1 The GoDaddy.com Bowl gets first choice of participant, not necessarily the Conference Champion as long as the champion is accommodated with another bowl. Must host the conference champion two out of every four years.[14]
#2 The New Orleans Bowl will host the second selection from the Sun Belt.


Isn't this backwards?

Yes backwards. You have remember what Abraham Lincoln said "You believe everything you read on the internet."

Rice is the team we want to play in New Orleans.

1. They will bring 3k-7k fans, which could go a long way towards breaking the attendance record AGAIN
2. We would be favored to win the game

I fixed it on Wikipedia. Hopefully some ignoramus doesn't change it back.

Yeah, you can see that someone had changed it to that earlier today. I was wondering why it was backwards.

Nola.com reports CUSA off ice says it will be ECU or Rice depending on outcome of CsA championship game.

I think Rice vs UL brings the most fans because of geographic location.

Rice played Troy in the New Orleans Bowl a few years back in front of 26,000. Not sure how many of those were from Rice.
