UL bowl opponent likely will be Mountain West

I agree, the Nola bowl will force our hand, which is wise on their part. I don't think our administration will call their bluff...which is probably wise on our part.

You mean, "pull a Laturd"

I still don't think we get left out of the NO Bowl or the Go Daddy period. But that is my opinion. The safe bet is to take the NO Bowl invitation and run. And that is what I expect from UL come Monday should we win tomorrow night.

I think it will be sometime closer to 12/7/14.

In 2011... Nov.21st, in 2012...Nov.24th, in 2013...Nov. 30th. History shows the NO Bowl will offer before that date and UL will accept. Now, if you are right I'm okay with that because it allows another possibility to play out. But I don't anticipate that will be the case.

Never mind, I forgot the rule has changed now with the playoff system in place this season.

Well no offense.....I hope you are wrong!!

I know it's a LONG shot but the way the year is going...you never know!

Right now we are not unless we reach the 9-3 plateau. So the discussion is mute, but what hand does the NO Bowl have to play should the Cajuns win out? 7-5 Astate, Texas State or USA teams? None of them would or could bring the numbers that UL has to the NO Bowl. And should that be the case, the Go Daddy Bowl would jump all over UL in a second. But like I stated, that is not going to happen because we win Saturday and I expect an announcement to be made Monday.

Been seeing a lot of items saying that with the new playoff format they don't want to announce any bowl selections until at least December 7th. That might change the selection options.

From my side, with us trying to raise funds for athletic improvements or coaches, the only way I would choose any bowl over the NO Bowl is if it was a guarantee money game and not dependent on ticket sales. I don't want to see us lose a half-million to a million dollars at at bowl game at this time. JMO

It would be awesome to see UL play Rice or Houston here.

Us Houstonians could only dream....although I would rather play UofH if we are hypothetically speaking here.

An opportunity to play in a more prestigious bowl is something you should think about long and hard. We didn't make money off the NO Bowl, they just covered our expenses and pocketed the increase in revenue from the larger tickets sales. So I don't see us losing that kind of money unless you were planning to fly the team cross country or to Hawaii. If the bowl is in driving distance, we will do just fine. But as I stated, I still expect UL to accept the bowl bid if it is offered this weekend and be announced Dec. 7th.

Since we now share bowl revenue with our conference mates, do we share the losses as well?
