Scout.com 12/4 Bowl Projections

[DwayneW1]

I bet that behind closed doors, La. Tech said they'd take the Independence Bowl invite only if Louisiana wasn't involved.

Untrue -

I have it on good authority that if its a SBC team in the I-Bowl vs us it will be the Cajuns -

In fact - most information I have heard is that Tech would rather have the Cajuns over a MAC school - WMU or NIU...

Of course their first choices are NCSt or Memphis....

It won't be Memphis now that they will be going to St. Petersburg.

And according to I-Bowl officials, they want to remain geographic. Who's more geographic for the I-Bowl, UL or NCSU?

[DwayneW1]

I think they want a BCS first - which will generate local interest against TECH - next inline would be a recognizable regional CUSA school to generate interest - then I think it would be regional other school to drive ticket sales (i.e. ya'll)

I was just clarifying a misstatement -

I have been one of the few that has said we could end up STILL end up playing a SBC school -

I'm not on the bowl committee and don't have a vote -

Just passing along information -

BTW - I think a Dog Cajun matchup pops 40,000+ through the gates or close to it -

I don't see them taking AState or FAU over ya'll if it comes down to a SBC school -

I think that'd be a big game for the cajuns... close enough to drive... good times

[BankerCajun]

I am in... I love the matchup, and the drive...
If they pick up I am ready to get a couple room and a bunch of ticktes..
I can see bus loads of Cajun fans going..

[ULBaby!]

I think i will reserve a room tonight to beat the rush - if we don't get the nod, i'll just cancel. Dang, i am so smart sometimes, i scare me...uh...where do i get tickets?

[DwayneW1]

Good luck - our guys are running into problems getting local rooms -

Supposedly 1,000 more rooms will be released Sunday after the announcement by one of the bowls partners....

Well, we'd rather play Rice at Reliant Stadium in Houston but if not....... then a really exotic destination like Shreveport will have to do.

That's Louisiana Polytechnic Institute or LA TECH for short

Ya'll need to get on the ball and make all the smiley's available to the posters!

I agree with Dwayne. I think the Cajuns are in like Flynn. I think the attendance will be good.

As far as not wanting to play a 6-6 belt squad: Who has more national exposure and recognition? A 6-6 BCS or a 6-6 belt?

NC ST was whining about a possible matchup vs La Tech.

It all rolls downhill and the SBC is at the bottom of the totem pole. The big 10 craps on the WAC and we'd love a chance to knock them off their high horse. The SEC talks a lot of crap about the big 10.

It's just how things work.

I think it'll be a fun atmosphere for a Tech vs Cajun game. It will be for a lot of bragging rights in the state. It has a big impact on recruiting.

We do already have 16 commits but winning a bowl will help us hang onto them and fill out the class.
