PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

Epic!! Me, Z1, and kids had a great time. Way to represent Cajuns!!

This season has been incredible for our marketability to a new conference. average 30 a year, and pack New Orleans for a bowl, and new coach has us cruising in the right direction. I'd have to believe our chances of getting into CUSA is higher now than it was just 12 months ago.

Watch yourself, they don't like that CUSA talk around here!

There are only two upsides to CUSA.. More bowl tie-ins and no Warhoax. Otherwise it is a lateral move and more expensive to travel.

twitter.com/(fillintheusernameminusthe@) and it'll pull up that persons timeline where you can read their tweets. No real link other than going to each page and following the back and forth. Or you can search on twitter: "@carterespn" and it will pull up tweets that mention him.

The "official school name on its website" argument is bunk.

Do I need to go on?

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I think the "UL" argument is a waste of time. Push "Louisiana," and it will eventually catch on once football and basketball become consistent winners. I also believe "Ragin' Cajuns" should be emphasized as often as possible because it's a unique nickname.

Louisiana Lafayette in 2011: 8-4 record, first bowl since 1970, new coach replaces fired coach who went 3-9 last year. Team gets berth in nearby bowl game, firing up the fan base. Running back Alonzo Harris is freshman of the year in the Sun ...

It’s not my kind of thing.” Key to the game: The Ragin’ Cajuns know all about Hillman. They also know remember giving up 206 rushing yards and three touchdowns to Western Kentucky running back Bobby Rainey in a 42-23 loss on Oct. 22.

Bigger contract because of the larger market sizes, chance to associate ourselves with USM, Marshall, ECU, and Tulsa, all good athletic programs, and lastly, if for nothing else, just to rub it in La Nechs face that they got passed over yet again.

I agree with you, Josh. There's no logical reason in the minds of America to call us UL, but we are Louisiana. Great point about Nevada.
