Bowl talk

_ 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. _

I am really afraid that Notre Dame will go to Houston. This makes sense and is justifiable to Notre Dame since Rice is also a private university with high academic standards and admission policies. Notre Dame will not want to play in Detroit, Birmingham or Shreveport against a non-BCS state institutions. I am afraid that ESPN will strongly suggest that the Indy Bowl invite Western Michigan to play Louisiana Tech. ESPN will want to avoid a purely regional matchup for TV and figures La. Tech will bring enough fans. I wonder how much influence ESPN will have over the Indy Bowl selection committee? If my worries become realities, the 2 best bowl opportunities for the Cajuns will not be available.

Jay--if NO wants the Cajuns and Birm. wants Troy---why wouldn't Detroit want West. Mich.???????

We still cannot go to New Orleans. They will either get an 8 win Troy or 7 win ASU. New Orleans cannot take a 6 win UL team if the Sun Belt has a 7+ win team available.

WMU cannot go to Motor City because the MAC champion (soon to Ball State) is tied in to the Motor City Bowl.

Because W. Michigan is in the MAC. The MAC champion is already locked into Detroit.

Wasn't that a post? So really the same amount of posting?

I'm just picking. I can't get off this board until I find out Sunday, so I was just passing the time.

If UL at L and Tech meet in the I-Bowl, it will be the largest group of people that don't care for the "Evil Empire" ever assembled in Louisiana. We should use the platform if we get it.

Wait Johnny, I thought you were campaigning against LOUISIANA on your board?

It will require an effort that only a cult like aTm could pull off, but I have a plan. T-Shirts in respective school colors with Go Dawgs! or Geaux Cajuns! on the front and LSU Sucks! on the back. With 5 minutes left in each quarter, stand up and turn around. Remain with backs to the field for 5 minutes (real-time). Or, if you want to make a political statement about the state of things in Louisiana, go with "End LSU Apartheid!"

Really? I must've missed that. UL at L is certainly not on the top of my list of opponents, but I don't think I ever campaigned against anybody (except Western Michigan and Tulsa). I have posted that the I-Bowl is not required to select a 6-6 Belt team over a 6-6 non-Belt team and I stand by that. But, like I said, IF...

And, for the record, IF we do play a team from the Belt, it should be ULL.

I still think it's going to be Memphis though.

Sounds like a plan to me.
