2011 New Orleans Bowl: LOUISIANA (32) SDSU (30)

[sportsfanatic21]

Let's say next year we go 7-5, and go to a bowl that requires airfare. I have a hard time believing we'd travel well.

Especially around the holidays.

I think travel and logistics has the biggest impact on bowl attendance BY FAR. Except with FIU... They obviously don't care...

I agree. Christmas Eve in Detroit to play Ball State would be rough. If it was Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, or something similar, we may get 5,000, but a cold city right at Christmas, and I don't think we'd get very many.

I'd take the New Orleans Bowl every year, although Houston, Dallas, or even Mobile would make for a fun trip, especially if it was a weekend game.

I think when national heads talk about too many bowls and meaningless bowl games they forget something.

When you win a bowl game, your fans are every bit as happy as the fans who leave the stadium after winning the national championship.

The stakes may not be as high, but the euphoria is.

Most of the national heads talking about too many bowls and meaningless bowl games don't understand why anyone outside of the big six conferences should be playing in the postseason. And most of them are totally ignorant to any schools outside of those conferences (something I've been exposed to again for the past two months since moving back to Texas).

Not sure if this was already made or posted, so I put together the video of the game-winning kick and the audio of the radio call. My first attempt at video editing, so its just a simple clip.

Enjoy. Available in HD.

Wish I could get a good copy of the whole radio broadcast... I'd try to do this with the whole game.

I feel like you can equate UL with the Saints... never much of a "winning tradition", though there were definite sparks of life along the way... but the bags are coming off and the tide is turning.

And even those Saints fans that wore the bags still loved the Saints.

Sid, nice pics. Your mom and dad sit in front of us at alot of the home games (section E). Really nice people!! Your dad told us one time that his son won the "kicks for cash" at a game, was that you? Anyway, what a great time in N.O.!!

THere's speculation that tonight's Poinsettia bowl may be the lowest attended in that bowl's history. Team from texas vs. team from Louisiana in San Diego.

Well according to one poster from the Tech board that is at the game, he stated that it looked like the stadium was only 10% filled 30 minutes before game time. Qualcomm's capacity for football is 70,561. So this guy estimated that there was only 7056 people 30 minutes before the game. You're right BOP. If this guy is close, it will be the lowest attended bowl game in it's history.

This is exactly why we need to just win the conference and then we can determine our own destination!!
