2019 Bowl Watch

[VObserver]

We have about 1k truly hardcore fans. They were in Orlando last year. I expect the same kind of crowd and same faces in Mobile. I hope I'm very wrong.

There are quite a few fans who could not go to Orlando for financial reasons. That is not a reason for not going to Mobile for most of those. I expect more of our fans in Mobile than in Orlando, but I doubt it will be double the Orlando crowd. Sad.

I hear ya.

That Orlando trip last year was very cheap. Direct flights out of Lafayette were less than $100. Probably cost more to drive to Mobile.

So our "hardcore" fans are pretty softcore.

I will be there but a lot of people have kids starting school or work that they just took off to be with family if we break 2k I will be shocked

It should have been at noon yesterday

bahahaha bitter much, dude stop because if we would have lost that game you guys would have had a field day. Now that we won it you’re finding every excuse to discredit the victory. Tell me this, when was the last time the cajuns beat a P5 team? When was the last time the cajuns beat a P5 team in a bowl? I’ll wait............

I don’t think everyone here is discrediting the win. I for one am not. Regardless of skill level Miami showed this season that is a nice win vs. a P5 program with rich history.

No one is discrediting the victory. What has anyone said in here that is wrong? Miami was a 6-6 team who lost to FIU.

True, but Miami is still a very historic program and beating them in a bowl game on national television and not allowing them to score a single point means a lot. We goosed the U and just to put something in perspective.

NCAAF Nation posted the following:

4 & 5 star recruits on each roster:
Miami - 33
Tech - 1

I am not at all happy with the attitude that our fans have regarding our bowl game. There is absolutely no reason [but lots of excuses] for Cajun fans not to show up in droves for a bowl game only a 5 hour drive from Lafayette against a Conference Champion.

Tickets are reasonable; hotels are resonable; Mobile is a very nice city with lots of history and plentiful good restaurants and bars, AND the city really appreciates their visitors for the Bowl game and goes the extra mile to provide entertainment opportunities for them.

I’m not gonna give our soft fans a pass, but the stars lined up for the DogKillers. 68 miles and one hour on a high traffic day. Day after Christmas and no school for anybody. If you’re not making this game you’re not going to most any bowl.

2008 or 2009 I believe. Beat Kansas State at home.

Much respect for beating the wildcats, was this a Hud coached team?

What I hate about the whole “star” ratings is that if those 33 players signed with Tech or Louisiana 80% would have been graded out as 3 stars because of who they signed with...it’s extremely biased.

Bustle

Don't brag too hard. The ACC wasn't very good at all this year outside of Clemson. Pitt struggled to beat a middle of the road MAC team last night. Yall beat a very bad Miami team and didnt look good at all doing it.

I’m not bragging, it’s just that the general perception in college football is that G5 schools don’t belong on the same field as a P5 and anytime a G5 beats a P5 then it just debunks that argument because we all know they have every resource and advantage over schools like ours so beating any P5 means something. Screw them

[Cajunsmike]

stop it, y’all barely beat your twin ulm lol. Y’all can’t even beat a team y’all played twice in one season. Y’all would get smoked like the many times before. Facts

Projection of who would win a certain game amongst teams who have not played are no way “FACTS”. They simply are opinion. As far as ULM goes, they were an extra point away from Taking FSU to OT. Not much difference from them and the CANES.

No argument with this post.
