From an outside entertainment perspective. New Orleans is obvious to all of us. Houston - Correct in the fact that downtown Houston is dead after 5:00 Very little in direct vicinity of Reliant Stadium either. San Antonio has the riverwalk a very short distance from the Alamo Dome. Plenty of entertainment. I would actually take this over the French Quarter. Dallas - Stay in downtown Ft. Worth and catch the game day shuttle to the stadium. Plenty to do in Ft. Worth. Shreveport - When you leave the stadium head east on Kings Hwy and then merge right onto I-49. Proceed approximatley 206 miles to Lafayette La and party like a Ragin Cajun upon arrival.
Uhhhh, no. This had nothing to do with staying in the Sunbelt. Seriously.
Somebody called revenue sharing the "Obama Bowl Tax." I was being sarcastic in belaboring the point that if there were indeed some Kenyan/communistic/socialistic system in the NCAA of redistribution, I'm sure the powers that be would be more than happy to take the $150 million the University of Texas experiences in revenues and spread it around to the have-nots. I just find such accusations to be unproductive to our argument. Hence the sarcasm.
Sorry.
Hope you have a Happy New Year as well. Its supposed to be raining, so please be safe if you're out driving around.
The history of revenue sharing in other conferences has nothing to do with the NCAA. The attempted simile of "revenue sharing" isn't a poor one. You included the NCAA that has no more to do with revenue sharing in the SEC than the UN has anything to do with the U.S. internal revenue sharing attempts of liberal politicians. Conferences revenue share to "socialize" their wealth. You do see how that relates to Obama don't you? A pure capitalist would believe each member should retain their own earnings. I think the simile sticks.
My point to you was that this new SBC construct has and will hurt the Cajuns. It would be beneficial (revenue sharing) in a more vibrant conference where we are in the company of post season revenue generating co-members.
Thanks for the well wishes and the safe wishes. I truly wish you all the best!
Oh dont get me wrong.id rather drive 8 hours or fly somewhere than spend one night of my life in Shreveport. The place has no redeeming quality and after the I-bowl officials allowed Neck to dictate their bowl selection every other year, I dont want to give that crap bowl a boost by having 40k cajun fans spending money and boosting the bowl that I have no care for. BUT after basking in glow of two very succesful bowl trips I would never turn down a bowl invite. Bear in mind, if we are in fact fortunate enough to go to any kind of bowl, I think tech has proved, you accept. Once we actually win our conference and prove that we can be succesful year in and year outthats when I think we can start being picky. At the end of the day, none of us rhought we would be havimg this level of success 10 years ago and we should all pray to whomever you pray hoping this is the beginning of something that lasts a really long time.
Did anyone go to their website and correct them. We have two JUCO's who really contributed, Moten and Peoples. Hagans, Worthy and Broadway are the transfers who helped. Broadway is an A student. Rest of the guys are mostly from HS. Someone needs to tell that to the guy in purple.
