2012 New Orleans Bowl

I e-mailed a couple of members of the C-USA staff and also the MWC staff. I included a article about how the cajuns were setting attendance records, and then i ended with, " Why wouldn't you want this program for your conference?"

Z is right. A statement was made. Our administration needs to do WHATEVER IT TAKES.

San Diego State played a HOME game for their bowl...and could only sell 10,000 directly thru their own ticket office. That's embarrassing.

a regular season home game, not a bowl game 2 hours away at an indoor stadium in the biggest party city in the country..... I love what the Cajun fans have done with this bowl, but where are they from September through November??

I wonder the same thing. I saw numerous friends on facebook talking about the game and how they had a good time
But I always wondered why they are from Lafayette and that is there first game ever

But then again, maybe the game can convert some of those into die hard fans

Could you list these e-mails in another thread and ask each fan to send one?

Agree that our admin needs to strike while the iron is hot. This is the big test for them.

On the other hand how can any conference look at that crowd and make a decision asked on membership based on phony " market size"? News flash for CUSA, Big East and all others, despite what Toolame has been telling you that is what over 48,000 actual fans in the stands looks like.

-----Hammer ---great idea-----have the UTEP or really any Tulane game stands' photos blown up and one from yesterday of the CAjun nation in NO---Big headlines Tulane in the Dome and on the other side Louisiana in the dome put the dates and games etc>>!!!!

--Well the obvious solution is to get a large domed stadium and create a French Quarter in Lafayette!!!! LOL

Hope you all are recovering from New Orleans. If you weren't here in Lafayette and didn't catch our Bowl Special from New Orleans on Friday, here is a link:

A school played here, closer in time and distance than UL. It has a better history and higher accomplishments than UL, and brought nowhere near the fans. University of Southern Mississippi is less than a hundred miles from the Mercedes Super Dome, and has numerous big wins against teams like number one FSU.

This year was an uphill battle for attendance for lots of reasons, or excuses if you prefer. I have zero doubt with a good start next year we will shatter Cajun game and season attendance records. Our weak attendance record of this year out draws about just about every school in C USA, so we would be at least as good as 3/4 of the teams currently in or going to C USA.

Last year instead of making hay after our N O bowl victory we sat in our asses and patted ourselves on the back about how great we were. Consequently, when the first round of alignment changes came, we were stunned. (Duh!!!). Second round came a month or so ago, more people stunned! Really? This is it. Our last shot. Make it count. The last two years were no fluke! Make it count or there may not be a third year.. Z

Right on Z! We have won the National championship to the "ole USL establishment" We must raise the bar!
