Bowl Projections:

Nothing I’d enjoy more than 6-6 Cajuns making a bowl. Not that it excites me, but one of my Ulmost friends already saying we’d stay home at 6-6. Remaining humble for 2 weeks.

I really funny senario would be if ULMost finds a way to beat Troy and USM to get bowl eligible. Then we go to the Indy bowl while they sit at home snubbed.

What makes you think the Indy would take us over ulm? They beat us and they filled up a good part of that stadium the last time they went. I’m afraid we wouldn’t bring but 4k

Status. We’re not that far removed from rankings and ____.

Also. I was kidding. Monroe ain’t winning 3 straight.

In a tie situation ULM would get the Shreveport Bowl over a 6/6 Louisiana with a basin low 7800.

We’re also not that far removed from 7k on a beautiful Saturday. I know you’re joking but the reality kinda stings

So they finally move new orleans bowl to a more favorable time slot/day and do the opposite to independence bowl, so we become candidates for independence bowl? maybe our mascot should be named Irony

What are you talking about? The Nola bowl was in prime time on Saturday last year the weekend before Christmas. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Indy bowl on Friday before Christmas at 2, pretty good deal there. Most people are off that day and you could drive there and back in same day. Nola is on a Wednesday this year? Not sure you have your info correct

Fair enough, maybe i should have used the term prestigious vice favorable. And I wasnt comparing this year’s NOLA bowl to this year’s Indy, I meant in general compared to other bowls. Comparing each bowl to its own prior dates. Usually NOLA bowl is on first day (not always in the last evening time slot) a lot of other bowls that day, and less time between bowl assignment announcement and game. Now it is pushed back a few days, so maybe more people have time to plan trip, its at night and i believe only game that day.(i.e an improvement) Many associate first day of bowls with less important bowl and probably lower payout. Historically Indy was on New Years Eve, now it isnt, it is earlier, i.e. less time to plan trip, it is a day game, etc, etc etc. Granted being the friday is a plus i overlooked, but in big picture it is a step down for indy to have moved earlier in the bowl season. (but yes granted still better than nola)

[R1Letterman]

but it is ironic that a better record gets us a worse bowl? and worse record gives us a chance at better bowl? although at a risk of missing out completely.
