New SBC Bowl Ties

[CajunWave]

I doubt Tulane will be bowl eligible, but that would be the best matchup. Having both teams routinely play in the N.O. Bowl would be good for the area.

Papa john or independence would be a lot easier drive then st petersburg, but new orleans is definitly more fun than any of the others.

_ I hate to by into this hype, BUT i see why people are talking about it. We need to win 2 games out of 5 to become bowl eligible. This team CAN do it. I just hope THEY are focused at FIU. We should all be too!

Only one bowl I'd care to be at anyway and thats the New Orleans Bowl! _

yeah, but 2 wins won't win us the conference and thus, we will not get to the NO bowl

We, as a fan base and program, have been DYING to go to a bowl for almost 4 decades. We start sniffing one, and everyone quickly puts parameters on which one they'll go to.

I live in San Diego, I'll spend the $500 for one plane ticket + hotel + game ticket to go ANYWHERE to see the Cajuns play in a bowl game.

No joke. Since I live in NOLA I would prefer the New Orleans Bowl, but only a family tradgedy would stop me from going cross country to see the Cajuns in a Bowl Game!

The New Orleans bowl would be the best thing for everyone. We would pack the dome with Ragin Cajun fans. Most would be staying in the city so they would need hotels. It would look awesome on national TV to see a sea of red in the Dome. Someone mentioned Tulane as a potential match up but I think that would be awful for the city. If we do make it. Who do you guys think we will play? Doesn't have to be a CUSA team?

Are you going if we play in it?

Who will we play? What the heck - how about Notre Dame.

  A quick word of advice for UL football fans: slow down on any plans for the postseason.

The Ragin' Cajuns (4-3 overall, 3-0 Sun Belt) entered this weekend tied for first in the league with Troy. With two more victories, they will be bowl-eligible. The conference winner earns an automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, which will air live Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

UL, which plays Florida International on Saturday after an open week, could be bowl-bound even if it does not win the league. If the St. Petersburg Bowl (Big East/Conference USA), PapaJohn's.com Bowl (SEC/Big East) or PetroSun Independence Bowl (Big 12/SEC) don't have enough bowl-eligible teams from their contracted conferences, the Sun Belt will get the first opportunity to fill those slots.
