This sucks. I firmly
Believe each of Our RB’s make the others better. Chris Smith starts and sets the tone. Sometimes doing the dirty work early so our running game can take over late. Not to mention his role in the return game.

I hope he can play a little and be effective.

Questionable isn’t doubtful. We got this!

Wonder if the bowl and Superdome would have to partner for a game such as this. You would think we could use for Home events though.

As of now, it appears there will be less than 10,000 people attending the game. A bowl game for a team going for their 13th win in a row, a feat which may never be matched again in the history of the University of Louisiana. A bowl game which will happen on a Saturday night only a 2 hour drive from Lafayette. I am just amazed that the politics of hatred has infected our society to this point. I could very well see the Sunbelt conference losing ALL of it's bowl tie ins & many bowl games disappearing if this the norm of fan reaction to bowl games in this country post covid. Why have bowl games if you can't draw a fan base for those games? I can tell you people that you are setting a most dangerous precedent by "making your stand." Something tells me a lot of people are going to regret this decision later on.

I agree with you here, Kyle. Show up for these boys. They deserve it.

No one cares about a NOLA bowl for the 7th time vs the #4 CUSA team. Im the only one in our group of 12 who is going.

Question, are we guessing UL ticket sales or total game attendance?

In years past I was put on the second and third level. I am 19 rows from the field now. That tells me ticket sales Are probably low. I guess 10 to 12,000 Cajun fans if we lucky. Looking at what Ticketmaster is showing for the Marshall side I am guessing 1000 and that is a high number.Hope I’m wrong.
With what the New Orleans bowl will give out to the locals maybe 5 to 10 more thousand. I think 20,000 total would be on the high side. Our players deserve to have 30 to 50,000 at the game. Oh well. Geaux Cajuns.
