Thread: Ark State Fan has an interesting bowl take.

    It also matters where people go because there are bowl contracts up for negotiation and we don't have the greatest track record of strong ticket sales.

    Put the Trojans in Birmingham and the Cajuns in New Orleans and you have the #1 and #2 strongest bowl ticket sales in Sun Belt history. Before deals come up for negotiation, not after.

    I hope it plays out this way. I can't disagree with some that think the more prestigious the bowl, the better. But, the brighter spotlight will come and go pretty fast. 90% of the benefits are gained by making it to a bowl, but having a huge Cajun NO bowl inside the state will echo in the recruiting halls well up to and thru signing day. We will massively attend that game and will draw many vermillion folks out of their fan closets. That is what we need just as much as a bowl... to reconnect with our dormant fans in a huge way.

    He rubbed elbows with me at the game. First he got a pic with me and then went and got with Jake Delhomme. The stories that kid will have to tell his grandkids! LOL!

    Saw Lafitte last night too and chatted for a few minutes. Man, he looks like he has the world by the tail. Got to say hello or wave at Crawfish, Express & Mrs Express, the Funster and CajunMike and GeraldH as well.

    All in all, a great evening.

    My sister from New Orleans (many of you have met) cannot come to the UT Que Pasa game so I am going to try my best to leave earlier with the local crew make a world famous Eauque Tree tailgate.

    Half of Louisiana lives south of I-10. 2/3 lives south of 190.

    Look at Wingerter's comments in the Quarterback Club... the kids in SE Louisiana don't know about us.

    And then, think about this: The Picyanose would HAVE to give us coverage.

    That alone would be priceless...

    Whatchoo talkin' about? The T-P gave us 3 small paragraphs today! Plus we had the small headline for the state schools section, "Fenroy gets to 1,000"! Of course, the sub-head was kinda confusing since it was about the Grambling game.
