So if we win we are in?

_ An Indy bowl exec said on the radio that if the Cajuns won and ended 6-6, they'd get an invitation due to the locality of the fan base. They want to sell tickets.

Now, that was just radio talk, so don't take too much out of it.


However, a lot of belt fans seem to think that the Indy MUST take a 6-6 belt team over a 6-6 at large team and that is simply not true. The Indy agreement was only for 7+ win belt teams. They can still take any 6-6 school they want as long as there isn't an available 7+ win belt team. _

This is all very true in fact on Tim Brando's radio show on Sporting News radio he mentioned that Notre Dame at 6-6 is a possibility for the Indy Bowl. You know they would prefer them to any ULL or anyother 6-6 SBC team.

[rcarte3]

_ If all 7-5 teams are selected and only 6-6 teams remain and the Independence, Papajohns.com, and/or St. Pete Bowl have an opening, they MUST select a 6-6 Sun Belt team over any other 6-6 bowl eligible team. _

If Notre Dame is available they will take them I promise you that. NO SBC team at 6-6 is going to a bowl over a 6-6 Notre Dame.

Heres what I want to know, if the Independence or papajohns.com bowl break contract, what would their consequences be for breaking those contracts?

I for one, would be willing to be part of a protest campaign and refuse to buy ANY product sold by all sponsors of the independance bowl and Pizza bowl if they broke their contracts. If we got everyone in the league to help with that kind of cause, we can hurt them where they can be hurt the most, advertisements.

This is rich!

Apparently there are others across the nation who realize how contingency contracts work, like the Papajohns bowl, the ACC, the Poinsettia bowl, and the WAC. Everybody but the SBC.

"The ACC already has had discussions with at-large bowls regarding N.C. State. The PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., can only select an at-large team if Troy (7-4) defeats Arkansas State (6-5) on Saturday in a Sun Belt Conference game.

Bowl executive director Mark Meadows said N.C. State will be in the running if the bowl can take an at-large team. Texas Bowl manager Heather Houston said her bowl selection committee also will consider N.C. State.

''N.C. State will be a team that a lot of us will want to look at, obviously," Houston said. "It's a great conference. They're a great team."

Fans need to realize that you can't hang your hopes on superficial tie in language because when it comes to the SBC its teams are the teams of last resort. There is so much fine print in these contracts its unreal. If say Auburn and Miss. State had the years people expected them to have no way an SBC team gets in a bowl other than the N.O. Bowl. The way to get in a bowl is to win all your games or at least the ones you are expected to win.

Huh? A 6-6 team is "great"? I know they come from a BCS conference, but come on.

[jllanclos]

I guess Louisiana is just "very good" then

[DieHard1280]

The question remains why there was even a contract signed if it did not bring any advantage whatsoever to a Sunbelt school. Once again, we are (provided we win tonight) going to be screwed over when it comes to possible bowls. I think that if we were to finish 11-1 and Troy finished 12-0 but out of the BCS, we would still be sitting home.

[jllanclos]

No, we wouldn't be sitting home because 7-5 teams have to be taken before any 6-6 teams can fill bowl slots. If we had won one more game, we'd be guaranteed a bowl berth somewhere (assuming we win tonight).

I love people who join in "December 2008" who come here and have the gall to tell us fans what we "need to realize".


RCARTE what you need to realize is that you are not wanted here.

We've gone this far without your pearls of wisdom, we'll be just fine without you.


P.S. We were "EXPECTED" to finish 6th or 7th this year. I think we've done more than win what was "expected" of us.
