2008 Bowl Season Louisiana Snubbed by Indi Bowl

_ Doh! You're absolutely right. I've spent the past 30 years watching this University and learning who the players are, and how they got there.

But what do I know?

I'm just a low-life liar, and you're the Second Coming. _

Fun--I spent 45 years doing the same thing---these people for the most part came up through Coach Blanco--I have said that far too many people only know the bad of him --However in talking with the VP of student affairs at ULM and Dr. A the other day one realizes the people he has under him to advance--Ed Pratt, Walker, T-Joe, J Clark and more-----But this has been our administration for a while---If intrinsic motivation means anything we will reach our goals---How talented they are I really do not know---DW did some great paper work with Lsu, Mc N and Southern---hiring I don't know--my 2 cents!!!

_ Turb you are a goofball. David Walker is reclusive with fans and media. You can't really picture the man proactively wheeling and dealing for a spot in a bowl game can you? He is not the war room type, it's not in him. _

DW may be very quite publicly but I have to believe he does his job behind the scenes.

Now having said that, I wasn't saying those were things I knew to be happening, I was trying to convey those were things I thought (or hoped) would-should-could be happening.

If I were in the war room I would have been telling any bowl that would listen that we would wave any payout. The reasons are obvious.

If I were Bustle I would have taken out a personal $100,000 loan and offered it to any interested bowl committee. The reasons are obvious.

The team that led the 2008 snub was welcomed into the Sunbelt by the outgoing UL administration.

What they should have said is their entrance is grounds for a "no pay to leave" exit.

I mean that happened the first year of T-Joe's tenure.

It would be ironic if Louisiana goes to the Indi Bowl in 2025 with Tech waltzing in 2026
