Camilla Grill for breakfast ain't a bad choice

Agreed. And there's one in the French Quarter now (on Chartres I think). Great hangover food IMO.

Not like it matters anymore to the Cajuns, but this is a great article explaining how bowls make their team selections.

I am not talking about there business they make serveral football games a year. They are season ticker holders for baseball. So again before you make a comment about them make sure you know what you are talking about. Yes they are personal friends of mine so I know that they are supporters of the University and like I said neither of them are UL alum.

Who owns the "UL" Bookstore?

Thought so.

I wish they would quit bashing all the self funded businesses who invest in UL merchandise.

If you don't know what I am talking about, I will explain later.

Not true Rebel, the university officially accepted the Bowl invite that was issued Saturday, that is what makes it official. While everyone here believed it to be true, now it is. That is what makes it more important.

That article does not make it any more official than if I posted something on a website that said we are going. The official invite will come around 6 pm tonight. Unofficially, we have already accepted, hence why they are throwing the party tonight

UCF lost last week to fall to 4-7 so they are no longer an option for the NO bowl.

Thanks figured they'd lost when talk of them died down

I agree, I would love to see UL play against a team from a "bigger" conference. Big 10 or Big East would be pretty cool. Would be interesting to see how we would match up.

Not that it would happen, but how about this idea.
The battle for the title of "UL"

UL (Louisville) vs. UL (University of Louisiana)

That would be a lot of red in the Dome.

Chances are that CUSA will not have the necessary eligible teams to fill all of their bowl slots, and that a couple of Major conferences will have too many eligible schools.


Would you rather play SMU, East Caolina, or Marshall.....or Iowa State, Iowa, Purdue, or Syracuse?


To me, if SMU is not coming, I 'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a shot at one of those Major programs.

One of the ESPN guys has us projected playing Illinois.

I beg to differ, I think the official invite and acceptance has already taken place, tonight is the university announing to the public.

Someone on here let us "out-of-towners" know what happens tonight!!
