PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

Scenario 1: What if Mobile does not want ASU?

Some people were saying that the New Orleans Bowl "has 1st pick". If they choose us and we are not Conference Champs, must they work with the GoDaddy bowl to ensure that the conference champ is taken BEFORE they can announce there choice? Does NO Bowl really have "1st pick"?

Mobile will be fine with ASU. Part of the holdup is if the tie is between us and WKU. I don't think Mobile is enthralled with the Hilltoppers.

Perhaps the SBC needs a 3rd bowl tie in, rather than a contingency. The bowl in Birmingham is in close proximity to several Belt schools, as is the Independence. If schools will schedule in an appropriate fashion, then 3 eligable teams will be easily accomplished.

If we keep getting bowl elgible teams and sending them we will pick up an additional tie in within a few years.

The GoDaddy bowl only has the current conference tie-ins through 2013. After that they were suppose to take a Big East team and another "Eastern team". With the potential for a Big East implosion it could get interesting.

Point of this is that the SBC could be losing that bowl tie-in.

another question about the tix you get from putting deposit down...when it comes time to buy the actual tickets; how can you assure you sit next to friends? Do you have to buy tix together or will it be a sort of general admission for seating?

You should be trying to group together now; get it together with the UL ticket office, not ticketmaster.

Get your group together or if they have already made deposits, get the names together to give UL ticket office.

Would I be wrong in assuming that the university is still taking deposits for the "unnamed mystery bowl?"

[locoguano]

Is the 39 just endzone or is that also upperdeck?

Yes, I called and increased the number of my tickets yesterday.

As Bird said, Mobile has no issue with ASU. Our fans travel really well, and we havent been to a bowl except for getting to pretend to be the home team in you guys lovely stadium a few years back.

Everything I understand is that no one is very excited about the possibility of being forced to take WKU. The same is true with FIU, but they are out of conference title consideration so no worries there. WKU would travel better then FIU would, but they've got history, and a 30 point loss to an FCS school going against them.
