Other Bowl Games

OU getting ready to beat the brakes off Alabama. 17-0, 10:42 left in first half.

Not so fast my friend..in Lee Corso voice

Notice there are no bowl games this weekend other than the CFP. No competition by design.

Everything else is weekdays. Smaller crowds, more television viewers. Slow death of bowl games.

And??

Limited to no weekend travel opportunities for fans.

Would you, as a regular fan, want to see us play Delaware or watch OU and Alabama?

Cajuns all day long. But like fans of any G6, we’re in the minority. And most of us here are aging out and have mobility issues. That’s a marketing problem.

It’s about the money As long as the G6 stands firm, the antitrust lawsuit hangs in the balance. Quitting and whining is exactly what they want. No opposition, no claim.

I get it. UL has turned into a muddling, rudderless raft adrift in a sea of uncertainty. But quitting is not an option, such would admit failure and defeat and toss 50+ years of effort overboard.

Want to see UL pick up their ball and go home? Drop out the fight.

They claim the cfp gets better ratings...but anything gets better ratings than nothing

Bowl games are dead. Expand the CFP to 24 teams. All conference champs get in and the rest at large.

It’s been time for the bowl system to die. Quit rewarding 6-6. Bowl games used to be for teams who had a great season, not teams who are mediocre.

the question was posed to a "regular fan," not a cajun homer. we might prefer our pensacola beach family videos to schindler's list, because the subjective connection makes the quality difference irrelevant. the networks have to schedule for the "regular fan," not a person who might prefer to watch an erath high game "all day long" to the nat'l championship because that's where he went to school before dropping out in the 10th grade.

I would take game day strategy, if I knew I would get it.

Unfortunately the game is not the main interest.

Average fans are sold on majesty, pagentry and tapestry.

It is not a legitimate argument for p4 to claim bowl season is dead when they are commandeering part of the bowls
