PreGame 2011 New Orleans Bowl - Walking To New Orleans

[CajunT]

On the Tech board they are batting around this long shot possibility. I'm torn. I would rather play a school we normally wouldn't get a chance to play. However think of the crowd and atmosphere! How many do you think we will realistically put in the Super Dome? I'm thinking close to 40,000.

Not going to happen dude, stop reading the Tech board. The WAC has no shot at placing a team in the NO Bowl.

The NECHS wouldn't bring 2,000 down here. FORGEDDABOUTIT!!!

[NOCajun]

Any thoughts on SMU?

You would see upwards of 45-55,000 for that game, same for Southern Miss!!!

[NOCajun]

The New Orleans bowl doesn't care what happened to us in the Independence bowl. They care about $$. If they can get Tech they will definitely try to get them.

If the NO Bowl officials honestly think the NECHS would bring more than a few thousand people down here, then they're COMPLETE idiots!!

I really think that USM would travel better than SMU to New Orleans. But I think your lower end would be about right for SMU and the upper end and beyond would work for USM. JMHO

You could be right about that.

Tech wants seperation, so they need to seperate themselves all the way to the Famous Potato Bowl (or something like that) in Idaho, or some other Bowl in a far away land!!! On their board they always claim that they have a great traveling fan base, so let them travel to Idaho or beyond. Playing a middle of the pack WAC team, a conference that ESPN rates lower than the Sun Belt, is not the kind of opponent I want to see the Cajuns play in a Bowl game. I'd prefer the Cajuns to play someone that can provide some competition.

As much as I dislike Tech, they would provide plenty of competition for us.

And BLUE TARPS in the stands!! Not no, but HELLL NO!!!

And they would bring a decent crowd. But, after the stuff their admin pulled few yrs ago, I'd rather see them play in Idaho.

I was looking at bowl projections just 1-2 days ago on some smaller websites, and I did see one site that had the NO Bowl projected for this match up.

They were predicted a WAC and maybe MAC trade somewhere that would get this done. CUSA will be short teams...
