1. While we have been very good to the NOLA bowl, I think it is true also that they have been good to us... year one they did not have to take us... they took a flier on a likely, but not guaranteed, good thing in terms of fan following. remember they had no history on which to judge what we might bring...
2. What is wrong with going to NOLA and putting a butt-hurt on Tulane in front of perhaps a handful of recruits that may be choosing between the two of us??
ok how about a third..
I'd MUCH rather spend three nights in NOLA than one night in Shreveport. Yea I know the exposure etc is better, but I'm talking about me as a fan... I think the oft quoted $500k is more like $750k with the number of tickets we sell and the $1.5 is not so much if we show up with 20k fans... maybe I am wrong.... How about a three-peat in NOLA and lets run up 11 wins next year and go somewhere new then?
