    It's a dollars and cents thing. We won't be left out.

    ----A caller on Young Billy's show mentioned some views on which bowl to take----The longer the time period to the game the more practice sessions that we get---kind of an extra Spring training----The longer the time frame the more money is drained from the profit that we gross (remember Monroe's woes last year)---There are negotiations behind the scene that we aren't aware of between UL and all the possible bowls---I would think the biggest point would be money given based upon ticket sales and what constitutes expenses (Are Bowl rings expenses for example)----The cost of travel as to whether a plane trip is needed!!! You can bet that T-Joe and S Farmer are taking all the angles into consideration----Like nearly all on here, to quote Dr John---Going Back, Going Back, to New Orleeeeeans!!!

    Sorry, Boomer, but considering how they screwed up conference opportunities, the name issue and hyphengate , the RCAF split and the Executive Director / Fundraiser as well as numerous other marketing issues I don't have any confidence that T-Joe and Farmer are being proactive and considering all angles.

    You only get a certain number of practices but you do have to feed and house the players until the bowl game...further away the game.. More expensive.

    I know this isn't what's in question here, but unless I'm really bad at math all of a sudden, how is it that the Cajuns have only won 5 in a row? Didn't we start out 1-3?

    Ok, we need to be fair. I misspoke somewhat when I mentioned Tim's name. Tim was not offering an opinion, he was merely reporting what Billy Ferrante was saying.

    So,I'm disagreeing with Billy.

    I'll give my opponent prognostication after I see the results of this weekend's games. We still don't know what league will not be able to fulfill its bowl slots and which leagues will have teams they need to place.

    I wasn't talking about the bowl participants. A part of his article not in quotation marks was that the cajuns are 7-3, winners of five in a row. It is excusable if it was once in a blue moon. I have yet to read an article from buckley in the past 6 months where there was not at least one factual error in his writing. The guy has no pride in his work.
