Desired bowl situation?

[ULtimateCajun]

I'd rather go to NOLA one more time.... good venue... NOLA is nice around Christmas and the drive home with a hangover is shorter. plus I'd love to show tulane what college football atmosphere looks like. oh and I already booked a room in NOLA.

The only bad thing about the New Orleans Bowl is that is is now the fourth bowl that will be played on Dec. 21st.

The beauty of The New Orleans Bowl is it is located in a city that has a lot to offer the fans. Traveling to and from New Orleans is an easy trip and requires minimal planning.

Food for thought... the American, Big Ten, and Big12 will all struggle to fill their bowl spots (Big Ten definitely won't). Do we hold out just in case there is a Meineke Car Care or Heart of Dallas invite?

We may already have every available "New Orleans Bowl" room locked up. The hotel that I booked sold out a couple weeks ago. The N.O. Bowl people certainly know this.......

NO Bowl won't make their invite until they are sure what we will do. By hold out I mean do not commit to a bowl before the seasons ends.

It's an advantage. They're staggered. Football fans will be more likely to pay attention, tune in, and roll from game to game. If we were alone on that day, many football fans might not even realize it's a "bowl day".

I am wondering if we can cut a deal of some kind outside the constraints of the conference agreements-----the sharing thing is really a ____er---I am thinking that we could have them give us a much larger expense account and put say the rings with gold or diamonds --- well just thinking out of the box to get some benefits that we really do deserve---maybe restaurant vouchers for the coaching staff that can redeemed at a later date---A paid performer by the NO Bowl say to do a concert in Lafayette that we could get the sales revenue from tickets sold!!!! Get my drift dudes???
