New Orleans Bowl good deal for Cajuns

USM would be awesome. We would have at least 60,000 rocking the dome.

I have never heard of the NOLA Bowl, but I think that should be its official name.

I hear Tulane wants in, if they can count it as a home game!

The best possible match up would be the loser of the C-USA championship between Houston/southern Miss. The winner will go to the Liberty bowl. For their other 3 tie-ins there is no excact order of who goes where. So geographically it would make since for them to send us Southern Miss or HOUSTON.

If that is the case - then it would be Southern Miss! That would be awesome!

Yeah I agree. Both fan bases are close enough to blow attendance records out the roof! It also gives us a shot at a very good football team. Now let's say if Southern Miss beats Houston then UH would finish with only one loss. They will be up to around #10 by the championship game, if they lost it would possibly give us a shot at a top 20 team.

I'd love another shot at Southern Miss. Mainly because if we play Houston I fear Keenum will go all 'Madden 12' on us.

Yea but B-Way would tell our defensive coaches how to stop Houston-----VERY INTERESTING!!!!! I have mixed feelings because I want to own New Orleans and just have the whole quarter and CBD all UL---take over the TV and radio and even the Times-Picayune---Talked to Scott and we are lining up vendors with UL shirts and Geaux Cajun stuff hopefully---Time to educate about UL and Louisiana!!

We're not getting UH, I can guarantee that. UH will be the first or second team off the board when it comes to bowls picking them. Tulsa and USM would also be top 3 likely.

From everything I've seen, NO Bowl gets 5th choice. We're probably looking ECU, SMU, UCF.

Houston 8-0 4-0
