NOLABowl

[Crawfish]

As stated, above the Independence Bowl is no longer open because with the MSU win last night, the SEC will be able to provide a contracted team. We no longer need to discuss the I-Bowl, it ain't happening.

I would love to go to the I Bowl or the GoDaddy.

I would love to go to the I Bowl or the GoDaddy. Gives us diversity in our resume. Going to Nola again just seems like more of the same, the easy route. Don't get me wrong, I'm not latech and I'm not going to turn down the Nola bowl....I just think if we want to continue to grow and get national attention we should differentiate. Maybe we go to the I Bowl and play a bigger opponent and lose. That would suck, but if we compteted to the best of our ability I think it would look stronger than a home game in Nola against a same ol' same ol' kinda team.

Next year is setting up to be a banner year for possibly bigger bowl consideration. We need to set another record crowd a
Nd get a win in New Orleans. Then use that and new construction to boost recruiting. As a long time UL supporter, I do not get spoiled easily. I am pumped for the New Orleans Bowl and can't wait to get there with our group and stay at The Royal Sonesta on Bourbon!!!! Geaux Cajuns!!!

i say take the NOLA bowl all the way...attendance there(even though its in state) will eventually get UL in a bigger/better bowl

I agree, the opponent will be different every year.

Once UL makes it to a BCS bowl it will be part of every fans annual budget.

I expect we will play Tulane because I don't see them beating Rice and I don't see Tech beating UTSA.

If it were up to me, I'd play Tulane every year! Would rather rivalry games with them and Tech, than who we are playing Saturday.

Building this program is about establishing a winning tradition. We have started on that path, but 3 years doesn't = tradition. We have a ways to go, but we have to keep winning, even if that means without Hud. So, as I've stated before, the best way to keep winning is to get better players and beating in-state teams/rivals is the best way to recruit better in-state.

You are right, and this point even if Bama gets a loss which would mean someone else is SEC champ, Bama would still get an at large BCS spot and the Indy bowl would still be open.

I don't doubt for a second that New Orleans Bowl exposure helped land Elijah McGuire.

This gonna be a year when someone stays home. Remember when we had to be that team? Not being one of those teams is awesome. I'm pleased as punch we got invited and accepted another NOLA Bowl bid.

UL cant fall into this NO Bowl rut. Unless we knock off a big boy and as long as we are in the ____ty conference it will always be us against a second rate opponent in the NO Bowl. 2014...We cant do this 4 years in a row.. we just cant..This year...We deserve a shot at N Illinois.. or a BCS school. Having SBC next to our name kills us.

I am oksy with us pounding the hell out of Tool=lame... They are arrogant _____s and deserve the sendoff...

How you gonna like it if we get into cusa and play a sunbelt team in the Nola bowl. As long as we are bowl eligible we will always be Nola bowls most desired team...which is a good thing.
