Cajuns #39 in BCS

[cajunhawk]

LSU is still a legit Top 15 program, at least. They happen to play in the best conference in college football, which is where their 2 losses come from. We got hammered by Arkansas and K-State. Also, I don't see LSU having to settle for an invite to Indy Bowl.

Hopefully one day we'd be at a level to compete with them, but there's much work to be done.

That day is coming...and the closer we get...the more they will do to NOT play us...by hook or by crook. The better we get...the less chance we will play them in the near future. Hud will only see Tiger Stadium if he takes an SEC job. I honestly think if it's their only bowl opportunity and it's against us...they would stay home.

LSU wouldn't stay home. They're not dumb like Ruston.

[Just1More]

No.

Being honest here, they would kill us.

About like they killed Ole Miss. But let's not talk about them. They won't be going to the indy Bowl and we won't either.

LSU wouldn't stay home. They're not dumb like Ruston.

They would have nothing to gain and everything to lose...they would stay home.

There is no bigger bowl for us, when we get our next 3 wins, we will get the New Orleans Bowl invite on Thursday night at home after the Troy victory. We will not be Tech and say we want to wait and see if we get a "better" invite. Playing Saturday night primetime is better than Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Let's play the next four games and see what happens, but it's not entirely out of the question even though you have dismissed it. And for the record, we are not talking BCS Bowl.

People told me I was crazy for saying we had a shot at a BCS bowl. If we had beaten Arkansas and Kansas State we'd be knocking on the door.

IF...ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas!

[SlickRick]

You need to finish in the top 16 to have a shot at the BCS Bowl...

Correct....and that ain't happening this year.

New Orleans Bowl was a whole lot of fun, convenient, a lot to do, exciting, and this year they take the conference Champ! No slap on the New Orleans Bowl, but is there an out to a bigger bowl if we should win the Conference? Something in Texas or somewhat near by would be awesome! Or New Orleans with a bigger closer team to put MORE fans and LARGER guarantee!

We're trying to build a program and that takes money. As said numerous times in the past, the New Orleans bowl gives us the best chance to make the most money. Take this game, make money and add it to the bank account to keep climbing the ladder. There will be a time when we can get an invite and can afford to take another bowl game but that time has not come yet.

And people let's please not talk about playing LSU or how we could beat them. Arkansas and Kansas State are both nowhere near LSU's caliber this year and they dismantled us. No excuses needed, no sob stories, they fair and square beat us. We still have a long way to go before we can start talking about beating an end of season Top 10 team.

I'm drinking the koolaid too, but lezbehonest. Arkansas and K State aren't exactly running the table. 71 and 76 respectively. Had we beaten them AND went undefeated then we might crack top 25. my 0.02

[SlickRick]

I sure hope the team and coaches are not thinking about a bowl game, like us!!! We need to beat Ark State tomorrow and that should be the main topic of the day and tomorrow.
