2005 NewOrleans Bowl USM-31 ASU-19

thanks for beating the tar outta those wanna be injuns yesterday and i know you guys won't be going to the N.O bowl but like i posted on the sunbelt board i wanted to post this on ya'lls board as well. i just wanted to point out there are at least 4 bowls that has no automatic conference tie because the certain conferences can't produce teams. some of these bowls are:

Houston Bowl: (Sec doesn't have team to send)
Music City Bowl: (again SEC doesn't have team to send)
Motor City Bowl: (No Big Ten team to send)
Emerald City Bowl: (no Pac-10 team to send)

with that being said, as of right now it still seems you guys have a decent chance for a possible bowl bid. good luck!

GO TRIBE!!

Thanks to your post, for a brief moment in time I feel a tad better.

Out of all the bowls the Houston Bowl looks pretty good to me. I could drive there.

Houston Bowl already invited TCU... they are waiting on the Big12 to finish.
The higher regarded mid-majors are overflowing with bowl eligible teams. UL has no chance at a bowl. Would be nice, but sorry.

Music City Bowl .. Is that held in Nashville? Boy that would be a good excuse to party with some Blue Raider friends.

I was not going to the game without the little Cajun fan. I went to Monroe the last 2 years with out her & everyone remembers the outcomes. With all the rain that was predicted, I figured it would be a safer bet for us to stay home and have a party here at my house. I guess the safe bet payed off.

Well, the weather was shakey & we didn't get the help that we needed from UNT, but you can't stop the Cajun fan from having a good party. We all stayed to the end in the pouring rain and went out on the field after to thank the players on a great win and good season. I haven't been this proud of a Cajun team since 1996..........(can't wait till next year)

"thanks for beating the tar outta those wanna be injuns yesterday..........

Hey, a ULM guy was telling me yesterday that he thought they were going to change to the "Black Bears". I think it's a crock, but what are you guys going to change to????

Here's my deal...

College sports has turned into a business which bothers me to no end. LSU played Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl instead of USC because the hosts stood to make more money.

Now that it is time for the silly politics to apply to us, they don't. Ahhh, life's not fair!

[Crawfish]

I would like to ask all UL fans to boycott the N.O. Bowl because of the ridiculous rule that is keeping UL from having a chance to play.

No way, this would be stupid! This is the SBC bowl representative and they won the right to play by the rules. We need to show the world that Cajun country is the perfect setting for a Bowl game and that we support our conference.

It was awesome to be on that field after the game; Rain and all. I too was never prouder to be a Ragin Cajun. Our kids played their hearts out and unfortunately we DID NOT get the help we needed from North Texas. But we sure put an exclamation point on the future of ULL athletics yesterday. I think our future in football is brighter than ever.

Back to the thread; I think it would be foolish to Boycott the Bowl. Sure, I was hoping we'd be in it; but Arkansas State won it fair and square. Let's go out and show the bowl makers that we are supportive of BIG TIME college football in Lafayette. Besides what do we have to lose. I like the idea of wearing your Ragin Cajun gear and showing the SBC that we are GREAT HOST to the N. O. Bowl. GEAUX CAJUNS

Arkansas St. vs CUSA Team (rumored to be Memphis) = Lotta Empty Seats Bowl

Maybe, maybe not . . . ASU had over 30K for a home game against Memphis last year. ASU and Memphis have a decent relationship; we just signed another football home and home with them.
