Ark State Fan has an interesting bowl take.

_ Absolutely, it's the best possible scenario. No doubt a Cajun appearance in the NO Bowl would set a new all time attendance record. We'd probably bring more fans than we did playing Tulane in the dome. _

Yes we would. I think it would be cool to get another shoot at USM if they can make it. That would be "SWEET"!

USM is 2-6. HIGHLY unlikely they'll be in a bowl this year. We'd pound em in a rematch. They have a shot this weekend against UAB, who is equally putrid.

Oh well I agree that we would pound them. Man it is so nice to be enjoying a football season. I don't care who we play as long as we make it to a bowl.

Now that we've settled which bowl we'd like to be in and who we'd like to match up against... I hope we win the coin toss.

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.

Dead on right.

Dead on right.

Big time dead on right.

I'll get about 6-8 tickets myself to NO. Anywhere else I could be soloing.

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.
