Bowl Logic

[covcaj]

I’m sure most coaches in our situation would rather have a Dec 23rd bowl than a Dec 26th bowl. Three days ain’t much of a difference but it’s huge being home with family on the 24/25.

I believe there are a set number of days you can practice regardless of the bowl date.

I think you’re right, but it increases the later the bowl is.

Regardless. Most of our bowls are before 23rd with one possible on 26th. I think the staff would rather not have to do the 26th.

On second thought, I think they did away with that rule

By the time east side is done, it’ll be close to that.

Ooooo... that's a great insight. Do you any more info, or are you just basing that on how government contracts work?

[CajunFun]

I'd go if it were at the North Pole. I wouldn't mind stopping by Santa's workshop.

Pack a sweater.

I never knew it got so cold in The North Pole of Shreveport until last years bowl. Even Santa wasn’t around.

I was well prepared aside from feet. I was in crazy pain for 3/4 of the way back to the car until my feet thawed out. That was crazy.

If we got NOLA Bowl, but versus Jax State, who is going?

Yikes.

I am hearing it will be the Actic Wear Bowl in sunny Dead Horse

Still would like to see the actual funding breakdown for the west side.. because I've heard several people that know more about it than I, say that a significant amount from the state is included in the west side funding... which sounds more and more like the East is still in the silent donor phase

West side is a $65 mil project. Just under $50 mil is raised with donor funds while about $16 mil in bonds are being sold. Bonds will be paid with annual donations associated with suite sales and club level tickets.

Nice, thanks for the clarification

[Turbine]

I’d add history book success, brand recognition and trophy hardware to your list.

Absolutely

Payouts are dictated by tickets sold by school allotment. So distance certainly matters. Independence payout is more than Nola bowl but we didn’t make jack from last year cause we didn’t sell anywhere near close to our allotment.

The Sun Belt shares revenue with the bowl teams; that started as soon as we had our first bowl games with great attendance. So I don't think the payout means as much as it used to.

Right I believe they changed it after the first New Orleans bowl.

Brett McMurphy projected us in NOLA vs CUSA Jacksonville State
