2019 Bowl Talk

[CajunDreDog]

I wanna have some “Bowl Talk”. After the game on Sat, we won’t have much time until bowl announcement on Sunday.

So if we win, we are in NOLA.
Any other non-SBC bowls that will have open slots that might want us??? I hear rumors of App St possibly in Belk bowl. Could we do something like that?

Bowl Talk....geaux!

The sunbelt commissioner would have to make a deal i think and change rules. It would make sense. Dre, you say the twitter post on App wanting to go to the Belk I think? Closer for them and NOLA is the best bet for us either way. Seems the Champion having a choice would be best option.. I'm sure all choices would be $$$$ based.

This is 180 degrees from anything I have heard or read. Any sources for this?

It was a proposition from a sports writer.. Some App St peeps were ALLEGEDLY asking. Its not the way it is now.. I forget the guys name on twitter.. So its nothing but a rumor. I was asking Dre if he heard anything more on issue or if the Commish was considering bringing it up.

The Commish would have power to change rules I think...

App State is currently lobbing the Belk Bowl in Charlotte invite them. Since Charlotte is only 102 miles away from Boone, they believe if they win the SBC Championship and remain ranked in the Top 25, they should be able to play in a better bowl game than the NO Bowl.

Tim Buckley interviewed NO Bowl officials today and they would be more than happy to host Louisiana and Louisiana Tech in the Dome, even if we were not the champion of the SBC.

All parties involved would be better off $$$ wise. Makes too much sense to go against.

WOW, they are open to negotiated changes that make sense.

It’s a no brainer.

Too many bowls are losing money due to bad ticket sales. This would be an easy win/win for all parties involved.

Last year there were 2 out of the 5 Sunbelt tie-in bowls that we would sell the least tickets for and they sent us to one of those two.

UL vs Southern Miss would be a great match up this year and both fan bases would bring plenty of fans, USM would probably bring more fans than the Tech fans and are a lot less obnoxious than the techies. Also both are close in ranking in their division

The idea of the Belk Bowl would have had more legs if the league had six bowl eligible teams. Not to say it can't happen. It would require someone agreeing to go out west to play in Arizona that might otherwise be in the Belk. Not an easy negotiation.

And, you can forget the Cajuns and Tech. Or Cajuns and Southern Miss. I said a couple of days ago WKU is headed to New Orleans. I stand by that.
