N O Bowl

[basinbear]

You're betting on a large group of NOLA living grads/fans to show up. Locally, if they don't show up for regular season games due to cost, Game Day Experience, etc, what makes you think they'll magically show up in NOLA? Even against Tulane or La.Tech, would Mr. casUaL Fan show up?

They always have

I was at USL from the fall of 71 to the spring of 76, crammed a four year program into 5 years. Damn that was tough.

72-77 Ditto with the 5 year plan...

While we are on excuses, the Cajun Bowl Game is just an excuse for a night or two outing in New Orleans. For this one, we are the excuse.

Momentum required.

Going into New Orleans with 3 straight wins and newly crowned SBC Champs (won on the field) would do wonders for momentum.

Going to NOLA after losing to ULM would be a poorly attended game, and losing that game would lead to a poorly attended game vs. Miss St. next season.

We need to be very careful about going to the NOLA Bowl at all costs. Other than playing latech in NOLA, I would seek Bowl games elsewhere this season. The timing is just not right.

.......One thing I will say for the past games is that the atmosphere created was pretty damn good-----the Bourbon St walk with the band, the Cajun party, the graduations, I guess the ticket handling, the hotel with the players and staff, the pre game pep rallies----although the many flaws of the previous group, they did the bowls quite well-----talk about expectations for the future, that sea of RED around the top and bottom of the Dome extending around both end zones----thought we had become maybe the top G-5 in the country-----fame is fleeting???

We definitely were nowhere near that distinction. We all thought we were on a fast track to the top of the list though.

....Well with our 40k stadium, great other facilities in other sports, with top 10 attendance in 2 (baseball and softball), upward moving academic status, conference champs in all sports of statue, and 40-45k at a bowl.....what or how or who tops that?

Our football stadium is a junker. We are in desperate need of a complete renovation.

I have been in my seats since about '77..... Enjoy them as much as the new baseball seats.....but like what was said after one of our sell outs....that looks damn good!

We’re not turning down anyone. If NOLA comes calling, we take it.
