That's a LOT of work, baw.

Always thankful for Ragin Review always asking questions, and keeping things in front.

and in hindsight seems we were way over charged in that first nola bowl and got really crappy seats

You get that with 40,000 tickets sold and a huge chunk of seats promised to the other team as bowl payout.

I had great site lines for the first bowl 300 level which in reality are the most expensive seats in the dome. we were at the top of the section but could look up and watch the monitor from the suite right above us and I was a low priority for that year so I had no complaints about the seats we got the first year

I'm really hoping we get the Indy Bowl. Looking to bring a group of at least 10 if we do. Even my dad, who doesn't walk well and refuses to use a walker, said that there's no way he's missing the Cajuns in the Independence Bowl. Always nice to turn your Tech grad dad into a Cajuns fan!

Maybe you have shown him the error of his ways! Nice job!

New Mexico State is officially bowl bound for only 2nd time in 61 years after receiving an NCAA waiver, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. The Aggies (5-6) will be selected before any teams w/5-7 recordshttps://t.co/9eVqWp1wlH

Probably at the front of the list because of why their game with San Jose State was postponed. Neither team is at fault, just a tragic situation.

Good for them. The only team they beat with a pulse was Liberty with freeze out the door, but good for them anyway. I like when independent teams take bowl spots from possible 5-7 teams.

Also we get NMSU at home next year. So all 3 non conf D1 games next year are bowl teams.

Anyone know the situation with app state? They looking for a waiver as well? I believe they got stuck with a second fcs game after Marshall became a conference match up.

I'm sure they're trying to get the waiver. With NMSU, that makes 80 eligible teams for 82 spots.

Buffalo (5-6) should easily beat Akron (2-9) to take spot 81 leaving one spot open for Auburn or the next highest APR rated team.

Even though I normally pull for Army, I don't see them beating Navy to get to 6-6 (waiver still needed). 4 of Army's 5 wins are at home with their only road win over UMASS (1-11). Navy is playing well in their last 3 games.

20-10 loss to Cincy
35-32 loss to Notre Dame
17-14 win over UCF

That leaves the Indy Bowl spot open for the Cajuns.

Me like above post!!!!

Good game for an Alumni Bus or two.

great point… also it says the nmsu waiver allows them in at 5-6. if they still play Valpo (a second fcs) and lose and become 5-7 are they still in or will that makeup game be cancelled?
