Dare I ask...are we going to a bowl game?

_ Sorry everyone, do you really think we should be in a bowl game this year.

Probably not. But wouldn't you take it if it came?

A bowl game would be a great gift to the fans, and more importantly a great way to send out the seniors.

_ Gotta get win #6 first....and that's not a given any more. _

Middle is like 1-5 on the road this season with that one win coming at Western. The Cajun's haven't lost a conference home game this season. If I was a "true Cajun fan", I would like my chances in this game...injuries or not.

A question bout your Coach Bustle statement: since he was retained after his 6th season, when his program was toward the bottom of the conference standings, what would be the logic in dismissing him after his 7th season when his program will be toward the top of the conference standings?

_ The only bowl I would like to see us go to would be the New Orleans bowl. Perhaps Troy will get a better offer and we can sneak in. Is Troy tied to the NOLA Bowl? I don't see how we could beat anyone right now but 25,000 crazed Cajun fans on national TV would be good exposure for us and generate some hope. _

I think Jay Walker has gone over this with us multiple times, and if I understand Jay correctly, the SB Champion goes to the New Orleans Bowl, no questions asked.

Jay, correct me if I'm wrong...

Wright Waters the SB commissioner wants to release Troy from the contract so that they can play in a bowl closer to home against better competition.

ESPN still projects us to play in the NO bowl. The only way this would be possible is if the NO bowl released Troy to the Pizza bowl. I assume that it can be done if ESPN is projecting it to be a possibility.

"True dat."

Troy would kill any CUSA team. I'd like to see what they could do against against a BCS school.

_ Sorry everyone, do you really think we should be in a bowl game this year. We have a team that went on a little run, beat a few teams all with losing records, now have lost 3 in a row, not by any close margins. We had a moment in the spotlight but with the injuries and a million excuses, blew it. Remember that week before HC when life was great when it came to our football program....gee the good old days...even as few as they were...good luck boys against MT... _

It's typical of today's world. Everyone deserves a piece of the pie whether they earn it or not. This team has earned nothing. As I stated a couple of weeks ago and someone else stated in another thread, we've only "played" one team with a winning record and that is Troy. For those who though LSU had a bad night against Troy, try putting this in perspective. LSU scored 37 points in the last 25 minutes against a time that annihilated us.

It sure would be nice to be able to still go to the New Orleans Bowl. However, the team still needs one more win, and I don't think a bowl game will completely eliminate the sting of the second half of the season.

This appears to be a repeat of 2006.

Hopefully our guys can rest up the injuries as much as possible during the bye week so they can get that last win.

_ The winner of our game will very, very likely go to a bowl game. Birmingham is beautiful in December _

We do not deserve to be in a bowl game. Going 1-3 (IF we win on Wed) in the last 4 games is not bowl worthy in my opinion.

_ We do not deserve to be in a bowl game.

Do people who win the lottery deserve it? Do they still cash in the big check, regardless?

6-6 isn't good. But this year, with a struggling SEC, it's enough.

Deny any invitation to any bowl, it will cost the program more than they will get just to go to the bowl. Plus I am completely against mediocrity being awarded with a bowl game. Nothing was done to belong in a bowl game.
