Bowl talk

[RCAJUN90]

_ Because we want another week to heal and, of course, we get to play in snow, which is always cool!!! (Anyone remember that I-Bowl game between Miss St and aTm where it was pouring snow and both teams wore white jerseys? That looked like fun!

That's how thread hijacking is done, folks!

Sorry...carry on! _

Not trying to hijack? If the bottom line is affected then why not bend the rules?

_ The NCAA won't allow a 7 (or 8) win team to be replaced by a 6 win team in a contracted tie-in. The 7+ win team must be placed in the bowl game before any 6 win team. _

The NCAA has all kinds of rules and they bend about as much as a corpse on the North Pole.

_ Thanks I didn't check to see if Rutgers was Big East overflow or not. thanks for clearing that up.

So now I'm pulling for Troy, Rutgers and Arizona State

ps you've way more common sense than me dude! and smarter too _

No you aren't. You're pulling for Arizona (or at least you should be.)

If Arizona State wins, they automatically go to Hawai'i.

Arizona is already locked into a Pac-10 Bowl.

Simply put, there's one less slot available if ASU wins.

_ Personally - i would rather go to shreveport - yeah i said it, so there! I can go to N.O. anytime i want to. We all might actually be able to start something in S'port. N.O. has seen it all and 20K cajuns won't even be noticed. Now, S'port...wait 'til they get a load of us!

I-bowl baby! _

If we go to NO we would get so much more ink and the ink to be seen by so many more------We recruit many more kids from NO metro than Red neck port---also Tech and Monroe have recruited many in the area---I we go to re neck port ZIP coverage in the Times-PIC!!!! Just my thoughts!!!

I just want the Cajuns to go SOMEWHERE.....don't care where.

In my order of preference
1. Houston
2. Shreveport
3. Birmingham
4. Honolulu
5. Detroit

But I'll take #5 over #6 any day.

This is me if #6 happens...



Nobody wants that, right?

I agree on all accounts... ANYWHERE BUT NOWHERE. For UL, being the first bowl in 38 years, it is paramount to MAKE a bowl... then HOPE for a destination where the highest Cajun fan turnout will occur (Hawaii beats out Detroit... for a multitude of reasons). All else (ie match-up, pay-out, etc) is a "high class" problem we can argue about post-selection. IMO

Z1 and Kate, nobody wants to see y'all like THAT! On the other hand, if #6 happens, you'll have a lot of company!

I'm putting my money on Dawgs vs Cajuns in Shreveport. That will get press in THIS state but not others. It will pack the stands but will have low TV viewership.

The I-bowl first said that they'd take the cajuns if they were eligible. Then they crawfished and said they won't take a SBC team if possible.

Now it looks like they have no choice.


Notre Dame is probably headed to Houston. It's "officially unofficial" on their board, for what that's worth.

Southern Miss is going to NO.

NC State would rather go to PapaJohns or Motor City (likely 1 of the two).

The I-bowl would love to have Memphis but the CUSA has to trade to get them out of a CUSA slot. There are talks about a trade with Memphis for FAU in the St. Pete bowl.

The wildcard is Western Michigan. SOMEBODY has to take them....and it may be the Ibowl. It's unclear as to how it works but NCAA politics are probably involved.

If the I-bowl isn't FORCED to take WMU (and they don't want them), and the Memphis-FAU trade doesn't go down, then the I-bowl wants to take the cajuns. I think this is likely.

Ark state may still get one, and San Jose state may still get one, depending on the outcome of Ariz/Ariz St and Troy/Ark St games.

But just keep in mind that one of these at large spots MUST go to WMU. If there are more at large spots, it lessens the likelyhood of them ending up in the Indy.

At this point I don't really care if it's Memphis or the cajuns but I don't want WMU.

I can tell you with 100% accuracy I will be in Shreveport in they Cajuns are there.

Anyone know where I can get some GREAT seats?

Not if it's a #6 at Bud's Broiler...
