2019 Bowl Talk

[zephyr]

No doubt Mobile is a superior destination to Shreveport in every respect except for the bowl history. Now to be honest the Indy has been on life support for over a decade.

There is a doubt

[CajunEXPRESS]

No, there's no doubt. If you've got doubts there's something missing in your destination filter, or you haven’t spent a lot of time in Shreveport recently.

[RaginScotsman]

Neither is Mobile

“The port city?” “The city of 6 flags?” Mobile is the new Vegas!

Yes, there is a doubt. You don't just take the city, you have to consider the matchup as well. If you offer us Indy versus Miami University or Mobile and Miami of Ohio, I hope YOUR filter is cleaner.

Maybe some POT may help your reading comp. At least mellow out your frustration.

As a fan of a school not playing in a bowl I am looking forward to the mobile bowl. It really gives the Cajuns to make a statement and acquire some momentum for next year. Also Monday night is a great night for football, a night we are used to watching football. Let’s make the best of it and beat a conference champion. After watching the dudspeth offense I am excited to see progress and a chance for an 11th win. Gosh that sounds good.

Also people will be craving for some type of football game to watch BT the CFP semis and championship game. I watched it last year. What is the closest decent hotel to the stadium?

Reading comprehension? Ok. We countered that it would be way better to play the real Miami U in Shreveport versus Miami OH in Mobile. Then he said, no, its just that the city is better. First, what metric are you using to say its better? I don't want to go to either one of them. Equal travel distance except you have to travel I-10 and Ladd Peoples stadium is a dump and logistical nightmare. I don't love Shreveport but I don't see any metric where Mobile is any better except I'm having to play Miami Oh instead of the hurricanes.

We also have a conference champion as an opponent. I for one think it is an important game as we need a victory to carry the positive momentum into the off season.

That's right. MAC conference champ Miami Ohio will not be a push over. This is a hugely important game for the program, lets us practice a whole extra month. Hopefully people see this. We need this "W" to carry the momentum on our way to a conference championship, undefeated season, and NY6 bowl next year. Can I dream?

Until we actually win a conference championship we can't complain. Hell most were complaining last time we went to the NOLA bowl. They probably would be complaining if we went to the NOLA bowl this year which was the best option.

Geaux Cajuns!

Geaux cajuns !!!! Keep winning and go into next season with a hard push. lots positives but constantly searching for negatives does us no good because some things are beyond our control.

Great point Mike, and it's in our recruiting footprint

We don't get to practice the entire month. However, by playing the latest game possible, we do get to practice the maximum amount of days allowed, versus the very early scheduled bowls.

It isn't a great advantage, but it is an advantage over playing in NOLA.

Sorry, the MAC was not a good conference this season. I've watched Miami (Ohio) twice this season and they are not that good. I don't care if they are champions. And frankly, we need to beat them to have any momentum going into next season to sell tickets after the championship loss. The one thing Coach Napier has done in his second season is beat the teams he was supposed to have defeated. I will go to the bowl game because my team is playing in it, but I'm not excited about playing a mediocre MAC team.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney knows quite well how teams and players get long-term benefits from the extra practices that accompany a bowl bid.

I will be there happy. I remember the wheels falling off not to long ago. If it allows us to finish on a good note, great. Progress , whatever the size given circumstances is progress.
