Me thinks that if you put us in a mid-week bowl outside of driving distance and away from Cajun Country, we don't travel with more than 3500-4000. So we shouldn't gloat too much about where NO Bowl attendance figures are or badmouth the nechsters (slap me silly for saying that). The stars were finally aligned for the Nawlins folks or they'd be sucking wind with W. Kentucky et al.
That said, Scott Farmer needs to keep Hud here so we can have 7-5, 8-4, or 9-3 seasons and have legit shots at N.O. and/or Mobile each year....and makeg sure they align with regional opponents. Those bowls will marry us and "have their way with us" if we can keep him until Mississippi State opens up. By that time, the HC job here will attract a higher caliber person who will maintain HUD's energy, recruiting and assistant coaches level.
