PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[Hammer58]

Interesting ulm board some are crying and moaning about UL going to new Orleans Ark state fans are whining about hotel prices in mobile and wkenticky fans seem to rralize that they could not bring enough fans and that is why they are still waiting. And we know how difficult it can be to wait for a bowl bid

Man, after reading the moanroe board it feels like my IQ has dropped about 90 points.

I wonder If Coach Hud has an incentive plan in his contract with extra moolah paid for bowl appearances.

Sorry, couldn't pass up the opportunity to get shots on you & J1M in the same day. Attending bowl acceptance cerimonies is sharpening my IQ.

I hope so, and I hope it is considered a 'successful season' expense and not a bowl expense.

I was actually hoping the announcement would not come until next week. I'm an RCAF member, but my funds are low this month, so I won't be able to get tickets until next week sometime. I just hope there are some halfway decent seats left by then.

with probably just the first two levels open for the game, there won't be a bad seat in the Dome..

I have a hard time comparing this occasion to the other major mens sports' post seasons.

I would compare our football program finishing the year in the top 20 (and whatever bowl that achieves) as comparable to the 2000 CWS appearance. That compares to making the Sweet 16 in basketball. I think our 2000 CWS accomplishment tops all others in major men's sports.

One problem with football is that you simply don't... and never will... have the parity in athletes that you can still have in basketball... and baseball. I think baseball is the easiest to accomplish parity... mainly in that so many of the elite pitchers get snatched up before they make it to college. In football, it is extremely difficult... with the money imbalance... to achieve the parity necessary.

Another problem is that it is one bowl and done. The other sports actually allow you to start off in a playoff... at a much lower rung... and attempt to climb that ladder. In football, you end the season at some point in the ranking... and the bowl is it. You can't really say that this bowl appearance compares to x level in the NCAA basketball tourney... or x level in the baseball tournament. You get to advance if you win. This bowl is one and done.

I'm just excited about being in a bowl. And since football drives that athletic bus... all UL sports now have a lot more competent driver.
