Need to purchase all new uniforms, training equipment, supplements, etc for Bowl prep and use. Then use the equipment and excess supplements for the following season.

That's the spirit ... and absolutely nothing wrong with it!

Question: Who officially accepts our bowl bid? I am thinking President Savoie but not sure.

Does anyone know the TV viewing totals from the Bowls in 2011 & 2012. If I remember correctly, the NO bowl had high numbers.

I'm sure not all bowls started out with great teams playing in them but look at them now!

We need patience. I would love to play for the BCS championship, but we are not even nearly close to that level. Slow and steady can win the race.

The New Orleans Bowl had a nielsen rating of 1.79 last year and 1.63 in 2011.

Military Bowl
Gildan New Mexico
Beef 'O' Brady's
St. Petersburg
Bell Helicopter
Armed Forces
BBVA Compass

Independence Bowl

Yea, I think he fears the reaction from those South Arkansas rednecks. He fears all the unwanted advances.

I fear what will happen to all of the barnyard animals as a result of being denied the fruit of my loom.

The trend has been going down for many bowls, but the matchups also have a lot to do with it.

----T----AGAIN, if you can load up on expenses then it Tain't that bad----OK --here is your example---A guy is on an EXpense account for his company and he takes a client out for a fishing trip===He buys a boat, all the bells and whistles, ice chest and drinks, etc-----he turns in the costs and say he keeps the boat and the rest ----he done pretty good!!!! Same thing here as we charge coaches' salaries, bonuses, and you name it to our expenses and after draining it there isn't much left over---so What??????

Boomer, the so what is we are not making tons of money in the NO Bowl contrary to what has been stated on this board. If Cajun fans can't travel to Shreveport or Houston, and not sell almost as many tickets after the Sun Belt defers travel cost, while getting a larger payout and make more then $40,000....then we aren't who we think we are at this time. You can bet your butt most of the bowls in this region will consider that Cajun fans won't support another bowl in the same manner. At that point, we had better hope for a BCS Buster season because no bowl outside of the NO Bowl will want the Ragin' Cajuns. Sooner or later, UL will have to prove it can travel outside of 2.5 hours from home.

Thanks, T.

Hopefully we can have an all Southland conference schedule next year... We can bus to all those games. Sounds like a winner.
