Bowl Predictions Anyone?

[CajunDreDog]

Only reason I'm bummed about a NOLA Bowl bid is because of the jacked up room rates in NOLA due to the Saints-Falcons game the next day. Other than that, no qualms from me.

If you use the NOLA Bowl rates, they aren't that bad

I owe you a brewski or 6 if we are accepted to the NOLA bowl. Didn't even realize these prices were out there because I usually book through bookit, hotwire, etc....

People.

Last year, in Mobile, they had sleet all day.

Montgomery? Really?

Until we are promised a P5 opponent somewhere else, there is no substitute for NOLA.

People forget Bowls are strictly about money. NOLA is the only bowl we stand to make a profit on. We will not take more than 20k to any bowl other than NOLA. I plan to go to whatever bowl we go to but I booked my rooms this past Saturday night in New Orleans.

See you all in NOLA Dec 20th.

I am with you on this. When you take out "indoors" and then take out "New Orleans", my group drops from 15 people to 2. That's because some are alumni from Houston and will not drive that far (Alabama) to be outside and take a chance on freezing their Azzes off, and some are wives and daughters who like what NOLA has to offer (plus game inside). That only leaves me and my brother in law willing to go to the "nasty" bowls. This applies for a lot of people across the board. Of course, many people on RP just cannot understand why our crowd will drop from 40K to 15K when we go to one of the "nasty" bowls.

Yea I looked the other day expecting them to be outrageous but they are consistent with what I paid last year
