New Orleans Bowl Vs Indepedence Bowl?

_ Jeez,

After the UTEP game, I think we should put all this bowl talk to bed for now. There's a tough road ahead considering the current health of Des. These boys need to beat the next opponent, then the next one, and then the next one. _

It doesn't really matter what "we" talk about. But, I'll definitely confirm that my thoughts are all on the FAU game and what will we do to make sure we win. The QB situation bugs the heck out of me. I didn't mind people riding the buzz and talking bowls... but right now... this team has got to find a way to take on and conquer FAU.

This bowl talk won't matter one bit if we don't find a way to win our upcoming games. The fact is Des is not 100% and will not be for the remainder of the season. At this point we are looking at an uphill climb.

Realistically, the boys can lose to FAU and win the last two to get the 'ship, but taking a two-game skid into Troy ain't gonna help anything.

FAU is who we thought they were (to quote Dennis Green). They just blew a** at the beginning of the season. Rusty Smith is definitely not a worse quarterback than UTEP's. Yikes.

In principal, you have to strive for the NO Bowl. But aside from the proximate location, the Indy Bowl's better in every other aspect.

NO has the second lowest payout at 325K, while Indy pays $1.1 mil. More importantly, the "experience" of the NO bowl sucks. Of all the bowls I have attended, the NO easily ranks last for enjoyability, and it waivers on disappointment.

But this discussion is silly. The coronation of Troy as SunBelt champion is a manifest destiny, an inalienable right, simply stated... God's will. Who are you people, that makes you think you have a right to disagree with God?

Which Bowl Game would you like to see us in? Tell me which one would you like to see UL play in and why? N.O. Bowl pays I think in the 100,000+s on up while the Ind. bowl pays if I am right in the 500,000+s on up. both bowls are in Louisiana and we will not have to travel far depending on the out come of the final 3 games. On espn bowl projection (Ind Bowl UL vs Arkon)(N.O. Bowl UL vs Memphis

Right now, I don't care which bowl would be in and don't want to think about it. In fact, we have a great challenge just to win this Saturday as our injury situation is very serious.

I hope the team earns the ring...

As far as payouts go, does that go to the conference to be split amongst programs?

In fact, we have a great challenge just to win this Saturday as our injury situation is very serious.

Looking back, this is a problem we seem to face just about every season (see 2007 ULM game). Another of the big hurdles for our program is building the type of "quality depth" it takes to make it through a season and be competitve at the end.

As My Cousin Vinny would say, "we gotta lotta yoot on dis team dat hasatta steppata up!"

Right now, I'd like a bye week with the injuries that we have.

_ I'd rather see us win the SunBelt than have to settle for the consolation prize of the Independence Bowl, so the answer is simple.

New Orleans _

all true, and one more thing: you can get a TERRIBLE night of weather for the I Bowl. i recall a game a&m was in where there was blizzard-type weather. guaranteed great weather at the dome.
