2014 Bowl Projections

[ManAboutTown]

There are 45 threads about how our secondary is the worst in college football history.. I real passing offense would destroy this defense.. Embarrassing would be the word

[lcitsh]

Keep in mind, this would be a 6-7 Fresno State team, after they beat Hawaii and lose to Boise State. By the way, Boise is now the top G5 team in the College Playoff ranking, which means they go to access bowl if this holds up. Fresno would have the worst record in the Mountain West Conference, which should guarantee them the lowest ranked bowl tie-in for the conference. Guess which one that is?

I can't find the original, but I thought Phil Steele called us louisiana in pre season but now we are back to ul laf?

So you guys want to play a prolific passing attack with this defensive secondary?

Wow.

Exactly, Louisiana fans should want to play a team that can ONLY run!

Just like our season is diappointing to some of us, so will the turnout to the New Orleans bowl. Let's get another team 1500-2000 miles away so they can bring 1500 fans, sounds like a smart thing to do. Fresno is not the team it used to be don't fool yourself.

So let me just make sure I follow.. You'd rather get embarrassed, in front of a smaller crowd then find a better much up that'll bring more fans... Because it's a name?

What's a better matchup? MWC is contracted this year with SBC in NOLA.

Who from the MWC would bring anyone? Doesn't seem like NO bowl was to concerned with attendance when they contracted MWC for bowl. Show me a bowl of that size who has great attendance from one school much less both! It don't happen! That's why what we have done has been phenomenal. Hell Tulane couldn't bring anyone!

I would rather a southern team with a less sexy name that will bring 5 to 8K. That's what going to the NO bowl is about right, making money? We won't win any recruiting wars by beating Fresno State, I don't believe we are going after any on the west coast.

But the bowl is contracted to the MWC so odds are its a MWC team unless not enough qualify for bowl. No one said of all the teams we want Fresno St. If contracts says MWC team than Fresno St is good with me.

I want the weakest team available. I have no desire to be embarrassed at a bowl game by an Air Force team that beat Boise. My two cents and I am sure it is not even worth that.

[ManAboutTown]

If MWC doesn't qualify, who's next in line? Fresno ain't beatin' Boise.

Very few fan bases have singularly had the bowl attendance that Louisiana fans have put forth in New Orleans.

I'm not saying they couldn't but for example, Alabama would never have as many fans in the Sugar Bowl as UL did in the Nola bowl.
