Thread title without the question mark becomes a Yoda sentence.

Going Bowling Cajuns would.

This article was written before the NCAA released its plan to fill the bowls last night.

What COULD have happened was, the NCAA could have told the conferences, "if you have a slot open in a contracted bowl you can fill it with one of your 5-7 teams. In THAT case, it could have happened with a win over Troy.

Moot point now.

The real question should be do we deserve it? Even if it was available to us, I would like to know how many fans would truly be excited to go to NOLA or Mobile and take part in a bowl knowing our team stunk it up all over the field this year. If you can't beat NM State, you shouldn't be allowed in a bowl. I know that my interest level has been at an all time low and I'm not even upset, in fact i'm kind of relieved, to not be able to attend the game this weekend. A 6-6 cajun team that might have had to fight some injury and youth issues but having showed signs of good things to come would have interested me but not this team.

Well Hud said himself that a 5-7 team doesn't deserve a bowl game but he would accept it in a heart beat. Again, we would be stupid to decline an offer to any bowl..period.

He even says 6-6 doesn't deserve it... But like winning the lottery, you might not deserve it but you not gonna give it back.

We would get our @$$ handed to us in a bowl game this year. On national tv. Let's just head into the off season and get ready for next year.

Very good point Zeph, but in reality, who at 5-7 does "deserve" to go? Same as 6-6, as Hud said.

So the point is, since no one is really deserving, why shouldn't we go? Someone has to.

And who knows, we might even find a little ... what can you catch in a bottle?

This year I would go if it was a fairly local location (NO sounds good right now) and I would go to enjoy myself; the game would be secondary to me.
