2021 New Orleans Bowl: LOUISIANA (36) MARSHALL (21)

[Bandwagon King]

Won't happen. Although I've heard people getting away with showing index cards and/or old COVID test results at the entrance, I'm not driving 2.5 hours to take that chance and I'm not jumping through all those hoops with my entire family... so my family is out. I know several others of the same sentiment who have been to all other NOLA Bowl games featuring the Cajuns. In the past, I've organized large groups of extended family/friends and purchased anywhere between 30-60 tickets, depending on the bowl. Not happening this year.

I'm hoping they get 20 K for this game. Could be less. Ashame - because this team deserves the best. Blame it on Latoya the Destroyer. Hotels and restaurants also lose out.

Blame it on yourself if you let anyone else keep you from following your team just because they have a safety standard set based upon the amount of illness & death they have had to deal with in that city/region& you refuse to respect it. That isn't a Latoya thing. That is a you need to look in the mirror thing.

And if G5 does the same as FCS, it’s saying we’re not good enough. That is doubt and disbelief.

Have a nice day.

You're not doing the same thing as the FCS. IF G-5 conferences got together with a major network & some sponsors, they could make they're own playoff system & force the P-5s into a champion Vs. champion winner take all event. But they won't do that because they are too busy fighting over crumbs from the master's table. And your argument attests to that point.

FCS football would like a word with you to explain irrelevance.

The main difference is the FCS has very little regular season relevance.

I would like to see the playoff viewership numbers on App State the year of their big upset.

The G5 on the other hand have upsets sprinkled throughout the season so there would be a lot more interest in a G5 playoff.

UL vs App 440K
Bama vs Ga 15 million.

Our best strategy is an anti trust suit vs P5 and networks. Not a alternate playoff.

My normal group that has gone to all the NO Bowls ranged from 4-10 and this year down to the one and only ME. Not due to politics, just plain old physical handicaps that make it a hard trip. We used to stay in Da Quarta but that requires a lot of walking. If you take the bus that becomes a long day and a late night. We really need the next generation to step up and fill the ranks. In that spirit I have recruited my daughter and son in law to make their first bowl game. And what a great idea for Christmas gifts. I remember our first bowl game Cajun fans sent ticket donations to San Diego State to help fill the dome.

[CajunPride]

Or was it San Diego people donated tickets to kids in New Orleans? What ever, Little foggy today.

I hope our fans never talk about others for all the excuses not to attend a game. We have what is one of the best seasons in cajuns history and you won't spend 15 mins to go take a test. Just remember to tell those players that you didn't go to the game to support them for their hours of hard work, because you refused to take a 15 min test.

UL vs App 440K
Bama vs Ga 15 million.

Our best strategy is an anti trust suit vs P5 and networks. Not a alternate playoff.

That what the hype of both teams being ranked 1,2 all year vs one team ranked the last two weeks of the season will get you.

Please, I ask you to stop.

Let us review:
2011....SDSU.....42,841
2012....ECU.......48,828
2013....Tulane....54,728
2014....Nevada..34,014
2016....USM...... 35,061

These 5 are still the top 5 attendance records in N.O. Bowl history, and only USM & Tulane brought crowds.

Most of our fans haven't been able to make it to a Bowl game in 5 years, we have a #16 team, a new coach, and crap-your-tighty-whiteys excitement.

40K, minimum.

NOLA Vac mandates will hurt attendance. We already lost four from our normal travel group.
32,000 tops!

[CajunDreDog]

Exactly! We normally have over 20 people go to NOLA. This year, it’s just my 4.

Same here. We're normally 10-15 and only 4 this year.
