Thread: Rethinking the New Orleans Bowl

  1. #1

    Default Rethinking the New Orleans Bowl

    The Cajuns deserve better.

    To clarify, the Cajun football team and coaches deserve better. Contrary to what many have said, a bowl game is a reward for the team, not the fans. Cajun fans have already received their just desserts many times over. A current eight-game winning streak, blossoming stars on offense and defense, exciting games and most of all a stirring rebound from two haunting early season defeats. If that isn’t enough, indoor game seating and a walk down Bourbon Street won’t help. And enough about how Cajun fans travel. Everybody travels to New Orleans. Everybody but Arkansas State, that is. Despite winning the Sun Belt the past two seasons, ASU has been banished to Mobile and the GoDaddy.com Bowl. More like thrown in the briar patch. In 2011 ASU lost to Northern Illinois, which went to the Orange Bowl the next year and last year it beat Kent State, at the time ranked #25.

    "Cajun fans have already received their just desserts many times over.....And enough about how Cajun fans travel. Everybody travels to New Orleans."

    Who ever the idiot that wrote that never sat in the stadium through countless beat downs or when we had spectacular players and didn't get to go to a bowl. As to the "fact" that everyone travels well to New Orleans, please tell me how well Florida traveled to last year's Sugar Bowl or how well North Texas traveled in their trips to New Orleans.

    The Indy is the biggest RAG there is and nothing but a couple of folks using it for their own personal agenda.

    Neither the fans or the football players decide who we play and where.

    What does sitting through legislative sessions teach someone in terms of post season bowls?

    Wow. The article is built on the foundation of "bowl projections." Neither this author nor "bowl projectors" have any idea how much maneuvering goes on with bowl selection, and ASU vs NIU certainly is not a done deal. Is he sympathetic enough toward ASU to go play Toledo in Mobile? His "players deserve better" premise died with the parenthetical "realistically, Shreveport, Mobile, New Orleans."

    The IND is not independent in any way shape or form. They are an anti-UL rag that has in many cases been anti-Lafayette.
