N O Bowl

[zephyr]

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.

Maybe it would be poorly attended but I doubt it. Also, you don't turn down a bowl game, especially with what has gone on around here for the past few years. I don't think we have any room to be able to turn a game down, especially in our backyard and I don't think losing the bowl game would have any affect on the MS State game next season.

Once we win this thing, I believe Maggard will have the choice of several bowls, he and Napier will make the best choice for a host of reasons...

It was the expectation of choice that did Tech in.

Choice can be a slippery slope, but I'd still take choice over no choice.

Never said we turn down a Bowl offer, a' la' latech. I am saying if we are given a choice, we go elsewhere, unless they offer us latech.

And, yes, going to NOLA this year will have an effect on attendance for the Miss St. game. I know this because back to back NOLA Bowls has equaled less attendance.

I thought the first three were increases with the last one going down.

It won't have an effect as much as you would think. It's the first game of the season against an SEC opponent on Labor Day weekend in New Orleans. I'm sure many Cajun fans will make the effort to go.

2011-2013 saw increases in attendance for the NOLA Bowl. 2014 had decreased attendance due to a 10 AM kickoff, and the 2016 NOLA Bowl was right after the locker room video and Hud's comments about the fan base. So, it's safe to say that the apathy that still lingers today started around the time of the 2016 NOLA Bowl.

Heck, I made my hotel reservations 2 months ago. I'll be there for the long weekend.

Several ?

Dang it.

Just reserved, but I'm doing this in protest.

Don't think the fleur de leis want any part of TECH as per the last 2 meetings...the chili peppers play in the worst division of the worst football conference in America...if you played in the east of the Sun Worst you would be next to last place...want to play a SEC team in the NOLA Bowl??? THINK NOT if the 2 games this season are any indication...
