In-Game Thread: UL (37) vs. Arizona (45) Final

[RaginWaldo]

I am thinking SMU, Illinois, or a crappy MAC school, which we can beat any of

[CajunNation]

Don't forget that Arizona was ranked earlier in the season.

The reason they didn't remain ranked got fired a few weeks ago.

Maken no mistake. Louisiana went toe-to-toe all night with an AQ school with Top-20 talent.


We are probably gonna face a school like Illinois or Purdue in New Orleans, and we will win.


They will not be ready for an all-out Cajun invasion of the Dome baby!

SMU will be in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl...in their own stadium.

How awesome would that be if we went up against a big 10 school? You're asking for a huge crowd with that kind of matchup.

Syracuse ain't gonna be eligible either. They have to beat either Cincinnati today or Pitt next Saturday, and I don't see either of those materializing.

I could see Illinois or Ohio State coming out of the Big 10 to fill the slot.

I would welcome Illinois. They might bring a few fans!

[Big Buds]

I think playing there had a distinct effect on the outcome of this game.

You think?

Today was perfect weather to set up the radio in the yard, throw the ball around, and listen to Stevie P call the game. Besides not getting the stops in critical times, it sounded like drops really hurt today.

I was at the Sugar Bowl years ago when Illinois played LSU. The Illini brought around 25,000 to that game.

Well, it was the Sugar bowl. If that's all they brought for a BCS Bowl then I would think they would bring around 5,000 for the NO Bowl

Me too. They had a great following. I tend to think that they wouldn't bring quite as many for a New Orleans Bowl as they did for a Sugar Bowl, but even if it's just 10-15K, it would make for a good atmosphere. Also, I just heard that they are the first team to ever lose 6 straight after beginning the year 6-0. Maybe they're deflated about the way their season went in the tank, and just show up to go through the motions. I'd enjoy beating the crap out of a Big 10 school on national tv!!

For the record I was not at the Sugar Bowl when LSU played Illinois.

You were probably walking around looking for cars to tickets, parking nazi!
