2019 Bowl Watch

I’m on the UL side always. Common knowledge is not evidence. Lacking evidence they get the benefit of the doubt, not us to the national audience.

Don’t U get that? I don’t need the evidence for myself or UL fans, I need it for the doubters that Boomer wants to know the truth. IMO there’s gotta be evidence somewhere.

our university website says it was registered as a trademark.... “ a legal presumption of ownership of the mark and the exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration;”. effective april of 2014

Both schools too busy hating to make something happen for both that is good. Very unfortunate.

That’s just plain crazy. You are conflating fan chatter with all the good that our admin is doing.

You are not a fan of football, however you are of the greatest of Cajun Football Fans. Nothing wrong with that.

I am a fan of football. I just have no interest in any so called playoff that excludes half the class supposedly competing for the title by rule, and which choses its participants by the decision of a committe rather than by an established criteria of on-field accomplishment.

YES!!

If properly run, collegiate football would far surpass the NFL in popularity in this country. It's more compelling in every way. But, the downgrading of the so called G5 programs, along with destroyed rivalries and abysmal postseason, continues to hurt CFB. It's becoming far too regionalized and like you mentioned, it excludes 90% of the country after December 20th. From a business standpoint, that's complete nonsense.

The problem is that what is good for college football is in the short term not good for the non- elite 50 programs in the P5, because the minute the field expands to include all conference champions the less successful 2/3 of the P5 lose their recruiting advantage over the G5.

lsu stole " Death Valley" from Clemson. Clemson's stadium was given that nickname by an opposing coach in 1945, when he compared the heat in the concrete stadium in September to that in the natural Death Valley in California.

Howard's Rock, tne famous rock in the entrance tunnel at Clemson, is a rock removed from Death Valley, CA, by a Clemson fan and donated to the school.

Paper Tiger seems bitter that Cajun fans talk about things that benefit Cajun programs...
