2008 Bowl Season Louisiana Snubbed by Indi Bowl

I think C. Michigan is MAC. Still it is a win over another conference for all the Belt Bashers out there.

The WAC is 0-3 right now with a couple of games to play (Nevada and Md. and LATEX and NIU).

A couple of observations on the game.

Did anyone noticed the FAU defensive linmen get away with a cheap shot on the CMU QB by landing on him late up around the shoulder? Same as what I saw them do against the Troy QB except in that case the FAU player came down late on the QB's feet.

The play by play team mentioned a few Fauowls were not at the game, implying they had not maintained eligibility. A couple of OLs and the FG kicker.

What I wouldn't give for a FAU MLB like Frantz Joseph or even another Cajun along the lines of Stanley Smith or Patrice Alexander.

They are MAC just like NIU. So a 4th place Belt team beat from what I can see a tied for 2nd place MAC team. http://www.mac-sports.com/

Over on the SBC forum it was said by some the Sunbelt was down this season compared to last season. I think if it was then it's an awfully close call.

ULM and MT both lost by a hair to Arkansas and Kentucky. ASU lost by hairs to Memphis and USM. We had pretty good outings against Illinios and K. State. If FIU improves next season like they did this season, look out.

In conference MT beat FAU and ULM beat Troy. We beat ULM and MT but lost to Troy and FAU (and UTEP) when we were wrecked by injuries.

I'd say except for Denton the SBC was actually as good or better in 2008 compared to 2007 but the W/L records weren't quite there. The FAU win and the close Troy loss to USM, easily the second best CUSA team at the end of the season, bode well for the SBC in 2009. I expect the Cajuns to be battling at the top of the league in 2009.

Hard luck team for 2008 was ULM.

"Daryl Cetnar would be there calling every media outlet from Hawaii to Detroit and Houston to Birmingham and even Louisiana town in between, with a UL story of the day."

Yeah, right. The only folks he would be calling would be his travel agent to arrange a vacation in the middle of basketball or football season -- leaving key game duties to an underpaid, but extremely loyal and talented staff of underlings.

"Someday I would like to see the UL War Room in action."

No you wouldn't. Unless you are a glutton for punishmenent, you might be disappointed by what you would NOT see happening.

Yea, but after the La Tech situation, I've been pulling against every single WAC team and so far the mighty WAC is 0-3 with one of those losses being one that ruins a 13-0 season by their golden boys Boise State. Go NIU and go Maryland, would be nice to see the better than BCS in their own minds WAC lose all 5 bowl games they were in while the lowly SBC goes 1-1 and should have been 2-0.

big attraction prior to the game is red beans & rice and Jambalaya tailgating. Hmmmm, aren't those authenic CAJUN menu items? I suppose they'll be serving BEER instead of ICED TEA as well. COPY CATS!

Wouldn't this have been more believable had they invited REAL cajuns to be the cooks instead of illinois ones?

Not yet that is where both Hawaii and Bosie want to be.
