Don’t you guys remember what it was like in 2011? The excitement of our first bowl game in 41 years? I remember because I was behind the goalposts kneeling on the concrete holding my sleeping 3 year old, my back to the field - prayer for a miracle. The roar of the Cajun Nation, confirming that my prayers had been answered. Aside from the money we’ve invested, why is the NOLA Bowl beneath us now? Have they not been good to us? Aside from losing last year (which I think we should’ve won), when was there a bad NOLA bowl game with us in it?
I don't think it's beneath us, I think you are rewarding mediocrity. I remember 2011 well, it was the first bowl game for UL in 40 plus years. We had no history of going to bowl games and we won 8 games that season. That game will always be special to most of us for that reason. Returning to the NO bowl or any bowl again with a 6-6 record does not have that feel for me. It simply reminds me of the seasons in the past when we went 6-5 and were told it wasn't good enough. So it's not that the NO Bowl is beneath me, but a 6-6 record is beneath my standard for this program today and not 2011. It simply reflects a marginal performances being rewarded.
It was a great moment for us then. But what does that do for us now? Does it elevate our program? Does it allow us to grow as a program at this moment? Or is it stagnant?
The 4 bowl games from 2011-14 gave us hope and showed us the potential this program has. But it should not be the ultimate prize. From the success of those bowls, I would like a 10 win season. I would like an outright conference championship. I would like a top 25 ranking. I would like to beat a P5 school. We achieved the goal of a bowl berth and win. But 6-6 with another Nola Bowl appearance will do none of that.
Negative. I didn't say I was fine with it. Nor did I say I was going. I'm not going to see that particular ____ show.
All I'm saying is that I'd rather we be invited to a ____ show than not. Especially if the Hoax or South Al gets invited to said ____ show over us.
____ show.
