Latest Bowl Projections From CBS Sports

[uslol'dog]

We also know they were willing to ask us and make some serious changes to seating arrangement, etc if we were available last year. They won't do that for everybody. Hmmm... Lol.

The NO Bowl December 20 slot is perfect for UL- fans aren't sick of bowl games yet, we will put 45-50k in the dome. Hoping to bowl in NO here.

Unless it is a top 6 money bowl, it is hard to beat NOLA. I predict that in the near future when we are in another conference, the majority of bowl tie ins will not be near as attractive as NOB. Lets enjoy the friendly confines of the Super Dome as long as possible. It really is the only thing I like about the Belt.

Some of yall are short sighted. Everyone knows what we will bring to Nola. The rest of the G5 conferences that are possibly gonna expand due to being raided may want to see if we can do it elsewhere.

We would sell our allotment to the Indy, GoDaddy and Camellia Bowls.

AGREED.

GoDaddy would be my last choice. Sunday night, weather and the location of Ladd stadium would deter fans (it would deter fans from ANY school). Indy and Camellia are worth entertaining because they are on Saturday. I still don't think we can go wrong with NO Bowl. Still building a statewide fanbase and a party in Nola always helps.

I'm with you on the first part, and hope you're correct on the second.

The bowl will sell their allotment to us regardless...it would be up to us to recoup the money which I think we would just about anywhere. Even a far distance bowl, I would buy at least 2 tickets and donate to charity in whatever city we we were sent and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one willing to do that.

and our fans won't drive anywhere else further after Christmas.

And then we'll wonder why we get passed up by South AL, Arkansas State and possibly TX State when the next conference shift happens...

I understand Ark St due to their GoDaddy history, but how is his statement applicable to South Al and Texas State? Texas St has no bowls and hell, USA had 10k announced at their home game this weekend.

That accusation by uslol'dog is completely unfounded. There is no evidence to one way or the other. I guarantee you whatever the result, South AL, stAte or TxSt would not do any better than us. When it comes to the way our fans travel versus what I see in our "visitor's section" or postseason tournaments in other sports, there is no comparison whatsoever.

[Cajunrunner]

This is just my unprofessional, as(s)inine opinion, that in order to make up for what we lack compared to some other schools (PERCEIVED market size compared to TX St. and South AL) we need to make sure to knock it out the park when it comes to fan enthusiasm and community support.

[CajunNation]

Unless we are playing a big name school like Michigan, we won't bring very many people to a bowl game outside of NOLA with the possible exception of one in Houston. I can see us bringing 20-30k to that one with a decent opponent.
