Being the ultimate pessimist, I am so happy that it is now official.

Is the Port of Call still open great hamburgers. Hell who are we kidding we wont be eating we are all going to a Bowl game to party and drink lol.

You will find me drinking an Absinthe at the Pirate Bar down Pirate Alley. Food? I will eat when I get back to Lafayette.

Is there any chance UL could play Baylor? I would love to see us hook up with them if CUSA (which is very possible) can't fullfill all of their bowl commitmets.

Lots of fact checking in that article:

They'll await their opponent, which would usually be a Conference USA team, but teams like Syracuse, Purdue, and Florida International are looking to snag that bid

Whats with New Orleans bowl games this season and projecting conference rematches in bowl games! I joke (obviously), I'd love to see us face Syracuse or Purdue, getting a big dog on a "neutral" site would be awesome. Not to mention, if we would play either, we would probably have the highest ratings the NO bowl has ever had with the AQ team in the game, and the highest attendance by far with an AQ team plus us there. That would be AMAZING!

Regardless, as long as it says we accepted the bowl bid, that is all I need to know. I don't give a damn about the opponent. I just did not want to get too excited until it was official. We've been screwed before.

Remember my 'College Version of the Saints' thread when I sort of called all of this.(New Coach, New QB, Bowl appearance)?

Oh, believe me, I get ya. I'm pretty sure fat Wrong Waters was fighting tooth an nail to put ANYONE besides us in that bowl game, but sometimes when you take care of business on the field like we did, it takes all outside possibilities out of the equation.

Mark Hudspeth might not be long for Cajun Field, but he's turned the otherwise lowly program into at very least a one-year wonder during his time on campus. A nine-win campaign would be their best since 1972, when they played in the Southland.

Oh yes to Syracuse or Purdue...I would throw Northwestern in their for good measure. I like the matchups.

I want some sales numbers.
