2016 New Orleans Bowl Thread

[Just1More]

I agree, guys. Whether you like it or hate it, It's the New Orleans bowl again this year. Remember what the Athletic Department's goals were in 2011? Establish a bowl presence. This is what we are doing. And we have a chance to help USM break another BOWL attendance record which will have the other regional bowls taking note. Come guys, say it with me. GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!!

Geaux Cajuns! (And Geaux Rams! . in honor of Mr. Bitter) LOL

This has turned into a them vs us game. Don't let the Hattiesburg crowd outperform the Cajuns in NOLA, that just would not be right.

My sentiments exactly, Express.

If there are not 40K in the dome I would be dissappointed. The reason:

* Both UL and USM have huge fan bases in New Orleans
* The before mentioned casual fan will be there because of the 8PM start time.
* USM will travel well due to their fans being excited about being in a bowl game for the first time since 2011
* The fact that it is New Orleans
* Both teams are within 2 hours of the city

This is the best matchup the NOB could have hoped for and realistically the one they wanted when this bowl was started. If this would have been the matchup in 2011, there would have been 60K in attendance.

You mention USM hasnt played in a bowl game since 2011 however they were in the HOF Bowl in Dallas last year against University of Washington.

Guys, I know the video in mid November hurt our image. This one is older, but it's better. This is MY University. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAa51G6ntSo
