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

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.

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 just made it up just like CajunHawk did.

Sounds like you need a "Jump To Conclusions" mat. So that you would have different conclusions...you can...jump to...ya know?

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.

[scotto_25]

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.

I don't buy it. I don't see for one second that this info was not at Hud's disposal the very second bowls began calling. There are cronies that are blurring the situation. Don't get me mixed up with a Admin supporter. I'm on the same side of the coin as you T and I do sit in on CRZ chats....

You gotta give me a bit more evidence than just saying it doesn't happen at UL....

Well that's funny...weren't we sent bowl ticket forms with 3 choices on them? If this agreement was in place...why didn't we just have a New Orleans Bowl ticket order form? Or was it all just a dog and pony show...

I know what happened with Softball. Football drives the bus and softball can't even put gas in it.

You are talking about a Head Coach of a football program in the middle of a season. I bet he has very little time to wipe his own ___ during this time of year...much less sit it on a meeting about which bowl they want to go to. Just like every other Head Coach of every other Football Program...they rely on the Athletic Director and University President to do what is best for the program...not what is best for their own benefit. That is where the disconnect is happening.

You knew what happened only after the story had been drug out for a mile and the truth came to light...get ready for it.

Hey Hawk, go easy on Ancient Aliens.

I've killed many hours watching that show at night.
