What if the I Bowl called us a few weeks ago...

Amen, thanks Scott.

Short and sweet..........

If any of you think that HUD, the CEO of this University is not sitting in on a Bowl game destination talk you are just being a moron.

Stop stirring that grease water that you are calling an EFFING gumbo and freakin realize that these rumors are snowballing out of control.

The stamp of approval comes from Huds friggin office point blank....

See ya in NOLA and quit the Shhhhhit, it's aggrivating

Michael Lotief wants a word with you...

Agree 100%. If Hudspeth wanted to hear what the I-Bowl was offering and Farmer would not give them the time of day then Farmer was not doing what is best for the University and Mr. Hudsbeth will do what he thinks is best for his career. If backroom deals were made between the administration and the Nola Bowl then there needs to be consequences for there actions.

Mr. Hudsbeth built this program from nothing, it is his show and if he wanted the I-Bowl or the Toilet Bowl then UL should of supported him from the start.

How could you agree 100%. Hawk just made up a bunch of stuff and put it in a post.

The following statement is just as factual as CajunHawks post:
I am hearing Hud went to Farmer last week and requested his team play in the I-bowl. Farmer said he would look into it, but the NOLA Bowl was the easiest path forward. If we went to the I-bowl we would lose a little bit of money and all of the athletic support staff would have to work over the Christmas break. Hud said give them a Christmas bonus, but Farmer did not want to set a precedent. Hud is ____ed!

Sounds good huh? I made it up just like CajunHawk did.

No, the decision to play in the NO Bowl was made at the top Dr. Savioe. The stamp of approval comes from Hud after he was told this was our best option. Those decisions are not made by the football coach here at UL.

Again, the distinction between public, elected officials AND university officials.

Nowhere in the article was it suggested university officials were being bribed to insure that a team would go to the Fiesta Bowl.

It (the article) was about the Fiesta Bowl soliciting public officials for cozy deals.

Now I think the Indy Bowl does get subsidies from the state. Never heard if the NOLA Bowl does.

So it would stand to reason, if anybody is paying out bribes, it would be the Indy Bowl. They have a vested interest in being taken care of.

I am not saying it is true or not I have no inside information. My only point is that this is Hudsbeth team he should be the one deciding what bowl we go to Period.

I was only giving my opinion. Cajun Hawks post regarding Coach Hudsbeth I would agree 100%. If all of that was taking place he will do what is best for his career

UL had an agreement in place with the NO Bowl when the Independence Bowl called. There was no discussion between UL and the Independence Bowl other then a call to measure interest and they were told there was none. Scott Farmer did what he was told by Dr. Savoie and he makes the final decision. For the record, Hud wanted to play the best team available.

It's perfectly comparable...it's gonna be even more comparable when this process repeats itself with Hud. Don't say you weren't warned when it happens.
