Yeah, inquiring minds want to know! We are all anxious to get the word.

I am starting to think we might get left out. Does anyone know if the admin or Bustle are getting any calls?

I know from an inside source that they were on the phone with Texas bowl officials earlier this afternoon.

Had to be after 1pm, because no word as of that time.

That is correct. And I don't know what was discussed.

........... I feel like I just lost my favorite dog

Regarding the Motor City Bowl, I suppose FLA ATL got the nod over the Cajuns b/c they beat us rather soundly 40-29 back in November. Cajuns were never in the game as they trailed 40-7 with 8 minutes to go in the 4th Qtr.

Looking back at the 2008 season, the UTEP (5-7 record) loss was a major buzz killer. Cajuns were 5-3 entering the UTEP game as Lafayette was filled with optimism and electricity.

Sadly the 4 turnovers and Trevor Vittatoe carved us up like a Thanksgiving day turkey. Vittatoe's numbers : 24 of 33 for 294 yds .... 72.7% completion percentage .... 5 TD's and 1 int. for a 191.50 passer rating.

I feel sorry for the seniors and glad they went out on a winning note vs. MTSU. I'm thankful that we got to witness history here at UL. Tyrell Fenroy is a once-in-a lifetime RB who never complained, disappointed, and ALWAYS held his head up high, even during the losses. A true gentleman who has made this University a better place after his 4 yr career.

His numbers and records speak for themself; however the most amazing statistic .... 809 career attempts and ZERO fumbles !!! #32 was money in the bank


Thanks for the memories Tyrell.

The reason the Cajuns weren't selected by the I-Bowl is because of the I-Bowl's former Executive Director.

Senior associate athletic director at Northern Illinois, Glen Krupica, was the executive director of the Independence Bowl for 11 years and, according to http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/1070, that helped NIU move "past other 6-6 teams (such as Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State) to snag an at-large berth.
