2008 Bowl Season Louisiana Snubbed by Indi Bowl

[ULvictory]

I've told you guys repeatedly today. You need Notre Dame in Hawaii. PJ isn't in play for you under any circumstance nor is Indy.

You can believe me or not.

I can agree with you on PJ, but saying we have no chance at the Indy Bowl is absurd. They know we will bring 20-25k plus we will have people staying at the hotel and casinos the night before. As for tv ratings, it is the only bowl for the day. Any ordinary college football fan is going to watch it regardless.

I understand your point. At the same time, I have to disagree with the Indy Bowl thing.

The Techsters seem to believe Tulsa is now heading to the Indy Bowl.

First they want Memphis. Then they want NC State, then Notre Dame. Now Tulsa.

Techsters never seem to amaze me.

It looks as though Tech will get their wish and get W.Michigan. They better bring the blue tarps to cover the empty seats.

Don't see how that would even be possible. CUSA has 6 bowl tie-ins and 6 eligible teams. Wouldn't CUSA will be in the same situation as the Belt in regards to sending a 6-6 team to a primary bowl to replace Tulsa.

USM to New Orleans
Rice to Texas
ECU to Liberty (as CUSA champ and assuming ECU doesn't turn it down)
GMAC, Armed Forces, and St. Pete haven't made their selections.

Memphis (6-6), Houston (7-5), and Tulsa (10-3) still need to be placed in bowls. It's been hinted at that Memphis will go to St. Pete. Likely for Houston to go to Armed Forces (in Fort Worth) and Tulsa to GMAC (as CUSA #2).

And you would actually believe the Techsters???

It's not about who we want, it's about who is a possibility. I-Bowl has had meetings with Banowski and some possibilities are being discussed. Had Tulsa won, they would've been in the Liberty bowl. Now they "fall" to GMAC. Only thing is, they were there last season and didn't bring anybody. St. Pete is still open to a trade (for Memphis) and now GMAC is more open for a trade than they would've been had ECU lost.

Nothing is "done" yet, but CUSA to Indy possibilities are expanding. It used to be Memphis only. Now Tulsa is a possibility.

Good, because it looks like you will get W.Michigan. Best of Luck!

Arkstfan, where are you getting your info about us not having a shot at indy and papajohn's? And if asu loses, we believe that yall will not get a bowl, or at least wont get picked ahead of us, so that helps us. We feel that for indy and houston that we would be a better option at 6-6 than yall, one because we beat yall, and 2 because we travel well. Some of this depends on where ND ends up as well. And the simple fact is that if you win, that puts you at 7 wins, making you a lock to get a bid over all the 6-6 teams, you losing doesn't give u an automatic bid and keeps you in the pool with the Cajuns, giving us one more spot that we could land in. It's pretty simple from what I see. Geaux Trojans!
