SBC Bowl Placement

[Professor]

It's 2018. Even if the game is on YouTube people will watch.

The network is virtually irrelevant.

It might be 2018 but the cable package the channel is on is relevant. Unless you pay for a premium package you don't get cbs college sports network

For you guys that stream, you can get a free week trial of YouTube TV, and they have CBSSN. Totally free.

So if it would happen to be the Cure bowl and with basketball scheduled to host LA Tech that night in the dome, would there be any feasibility in moving tip off up a few hours and hosting a bowl game watch party that rolled right into the basketball game?

If we play in the New Orleans bowl, basketball will likely play sometime in the afternoon, probably around 1 PM. Not sure of plans for the Cure Bowl.

Pretty sure it's on DIRECTV channel 221 and doesn't require a sports package.

Every team I listed is a realistic opponent, Sir.

Sorry... I am confused ( a not uncommon occurence). I was asking that of Big Buds.

Maybe, but payout is $125k/team higher for Boca than Orlando.

Which means, I think that UL mist purchase, and then resell, if they can, $125K more in tickets. Is that not correct?

I don't like the SBCs decision on this. Let the bowls decide. Mobile makes a lot of sense for us. 3-4 hours away. Itll be a good test to see how our fanbase is, traveling 1-2 hours more than NOLA. I don't see many traveling to Orlando. I hear so much about how bowls are about money, but tickets are money, so financially it makes sense too.

From the reports of other fans who have attended the Cure Bowl, it seems to be a first class operation. I have no problem if we end up there and if we do, expect to win.

Orlando is a much better destination than Mobile. I’m stoked for Orlando placement if we lose Saturday

I think the conference made the right move with the Cure Bowl. The 2 Alabama bowls are well in driving distance for Georgia Southern and Troy and with the direct flights out of Lafayette to Orlando its damn near cheaper to go to Orlando than Mobile.
