[CajunDreDog]

The wife is making our reservations this morning!!!!!!!!!

Gave up on staying at the team hotel, Marriott. Just NOW booked the big Sheraton across the street for Thur-Sun.

I keep trying to talk myself out of the Hyatt ... but three years in a row, I keep losing out to myself!

If we win out and possibly, but more unlikely, make the top 25, do you think the administration holds for an invite from another bowl or do you think they will accept the NO Bowl when invited. Obviously, we don't want the University to pull a "tech", but what if there was interest from another bowl?

What is it that you people don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The New Orleans Bowl is the BEST BOWL game for this University!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until we get good enough for a BCS type Bowl game, there are NO BIGGER BOWL GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GEEEESHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

There is a reason the Sugar and Super pick New Orleans.

No better bowl city.

NO NO NO, enough with another bowl. It is not going to happen. Make your reservation for New Orleans.

NO NO NO, stop with the tunnel vision. You guys are seeing the little picture. If there is a chance for a bowl (not necessarily a better one) with a better opponent, we need to take it.

We can not decline a New Orleans bowl invite with a "chance" for a bowl with a better opponent. No other bowl will ask us unless they can't fill which they won't know until late November. NOLA Bowl will invite us aftern we beat NMSU. It's not Tunnel vision it's being smart and realistic. Ask Louisiana Tech how that worked out for them last year.

here are some things to consider if we choose to go to another bowl outside of New Orleans. It will probably be a week day game, outdoors, bleacher seating, and there will be no place to party after we win, most of all we may not break even.if it is not a BCS bowl, send us to New Orleans

Not true, how do you know what bowls will ask when? Don't worry about Lo-Tech, they have too many issues and I don't like comparing UL to them. If we keep getting asked to go to the NO Bowl after the 6th win, then I say that's too early to be able to judge what is best for the team and the program. It is tunnel vision, I can see it from here, I guess because I'm outside the state, but all of you need to step back and see how it's done with other programs. I know NO Bowl is fun and it's a great venue...etc. but at some point, this program needs to try and move up and playing tulame is lame, because not a single person (some exaggeration but not much) will care outside of Lafayette and maybe a couple in New Orleans. If the opportunity is there to play a better opponent, we need to at least say "hey, can we do this" for the better of the program. The NO Bowl will always want UL at the 6th win, because it makes money for THEM. They don't care about our interest, and they can wait if they want us that bad.
