_ Percy Harvin will not play for the Gators. That is too bad. I have been looking forward (for several weeks now) to seeing him matchup against the Alabama defense.

My adopted home town is on fire!! Tuscaloosa is an amazing college town.

Best of luck to them today!

_ You want ASU to win so you are co-champs.

You want Arizona State to lose and free up Hawaii so Notre Dame will go there instead of Houston.

Indy isn't taking a Sun Belt team.

PapaJohns isn't taking a Sun Belt unless its 7 win Troy.

Houston isn't taking ASU over UL.

Arkansas State winning or losing has zero impact except on whether you get champion rings.

Arizona State winning probably ends your season no matter what happens at Troy today. _

Do you predict that WMU goes to the indy? I think that is the only way that they wouldent take a SB team in your scenario unless by some miracle, NC State forgoes the 2 bowl games closer to home (papajohns and motor city) to go to Shreveport. If they don't take a SB team, the options are NIU and Bowling green and why on earth would they sacrifice attendance and game hype just to keep a SB team out.

Anyone who thinks Tulsa losing had any impact on the I-Bowl is clueless.

I guess FaninLA didn't get in on those meetings.

I'm disappointed in you Z, but I'll respect your request.

They think in their own like psycho world that the GMAC or St Pete is going to save them from having to play a sunbelt team by trading a CUSA team to the indy and open their bowl. My question is, if the NCAA would be willing to bend to allow this kind of situation for the Indy bowl, why wouldent they bend to allow UL into NO and troy to papajohns. I'd expect us in the NO bowl if the Indy bowl is allowed to trade bowl opponents.

Geeze, you're suppose to tell me to go to h*ll, not run off. What kind of a rivalry is that, huh?

Because they'd rather kill the bowl than sell tickets to people who paid the taxes that have helped prop the game up for years or to people who might actually become semi-regular visitors to Shreveport and the casinos.

I really don't see how Ark. State winning would do us any good. If Troy wins they are in N.O. Bowl. The other Bowls will have to choose b/t Louisiana, Ark. St., and FAU after that? I like our chances against a 6-6 Ark st, and FAU team.

That game doesn't impact your bowl situation. The game you need to worry about is in Tucson and you need Arizona State to lose so you don't get shut-out. _

Explain your logic?

Cox channel 37 also has the game in Lafayette

This is not true, we are pulling for Troy IF we want a chance to get to a bowl game. If ASU wins, Troy can give up the NO bowl for a better bowl and ASU would go to the NO bowl because they would be 7-5. If Troy wins, Troy must go to the NO bowl and ASU would be 6-6, therefore the Cajuns would look more appealing to bowls such as the Independence Bowl.
