2012 New Orleans Bowl

[CajunAlum10]

I would love to know what their opinion of our program is after witnessing first hand the type of environment we as CAJUN NATION could bring to CUSA. I truly believe that it HAD to have some type of positive influence on them when considering who to add to the Conference.

Anyone have some inside scoop on who from CUSA would have been at the bowl game?

I would be very interested to see what those CUSA officials have to say about the prospects of adding UL after this past weekend.

Just how much did our stock increase following 2 consecutive massively succesfull Bowl appearances? And who, if anyone, took real notice?

I doubt CUSA was in attendance.

Seriously? I believe I read somewhere that they'd be there. And plus, I would think they would attend every one of their bowl games wouldn't you? Regardless, in attendance or not.... they still got to see on TV what our crowd looked like and the quality product we have on the football field.

Why not? ECU is still a CUSA team.

[CajunAlum10]

Exactly, and will be for another full season.

Well if they didn't have ANY representatives there why would you want to be in their league ... they obviously don't care too much about their league if the don't represent it.

Another good point, I'm pretty sure they were in attendance.

I totally forgot ECU was in CUSA! Too funny...my bad.

The way things have been going ... I was having a conversation with a friend on Christmas Eve about how we can better our program ... I couldn't name too many teams in any of the other conferences because there has been so much movement!

Boise St. and SDSU may not even be in the Big East before they are out ... who knows what is going to happen over the next few months, even years!

I am upset that other Sun Belt conference teams were looked at as better for CUSA than we are/were BUT I really don't mind not being in CUSA right now. I have bigger aspirations than being in a conference that can't see quality.

There is no reason we can't aspire to be in the Big XII ... we won't know what we are really capable of until we try!

If I am correct this shows our budget to be $13,946,204.

Iowa St has the lowest budget in the big 12 at $48,469,929. Any idea how we can get close to that or does this not count as a reason?

How are they suppose to see quality when our admin doesn't put out any effort to show that we want to be in a better conference?

We can alway take Baton Rouge's place in the SEC when they bolt for the Bix XII and then whine about having to play Florida every year while getting 8 home games....must suck.
