UL bowl news still uncertain

[CrazyCajun]

Basketball tickets barely reached season ticket holders in time. Barely.

The bowl is in 5 weeks.

maybe its in 8 weeks...maybe they dont know the price yet bc they arent sure of the location.

I know it is hard but they had a price contingency plan in the past.

Nov. 23rd a week (+3days)
Nov 30th two weeks
Dec. 7th three weeks
Dec. 14th four weeks
Dec. 21st five weeks

Turbine, the parameters have changed. If you only make 10 cents on a dollar, do you really want to spend a lot?

Point being, why should our athletic department (or ticket sales) bust their butt to make money that will help other SB teams more than UL?

High attendance will still pay dividends for Louisiana branding now and into the future that go far beyond profit.

fresno state is currently ahead of NIU, if they continue to win out...fresno st will get the 1 bcs slot.

I think Carr being a Heisman candidate, although an outside shot, may give more glitter to Fresno St and get them in above NIU.

That's what I said... If Fresno wins out they are in...they are ahead now

The glamour of players does not help in determining what teams go to BCS bowl games, only computer rankings and poll placements.

I'm just crying in my spilled milk that Buckley didn't mention RaginPagin.com as his source to the source in his article today.

Speak for yourself, Turb. I got mine 8 hours before the third home game this year. lol

I have the same feelings regarding NIU and the BCS buster ... don't think they will get past Fresno St.

Don't forget there is a MAC championship game still to be played.

Fresno State and Northern Illinois have identical averages in the computer rankings, right now, Fresno is ahead in the human polls. Fresno has games left against (current records forthcoming) New Mexico (3-6), San Jose State (5-4) then the championship game against Utah State (6-4) or Boise State (6-3). NIU has games against Ball State (9-1), Toledo (7-3) and Western Michigan (1-9), before playing the MAC championship game against Bowling Green or Buffalo (both 7-3). I'd say NIU has a chance to pass Fresno in the computers, and perhaps in the polls, if they win impressively enough. There are a lot of games left to play, and anything can happen.

Niu's performance last year in their bcs game will hurt them in the human polls
