2008 Bowl Season Louisiana Snubbed by Indi Bowl

[DogsWin]

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.

_ to hell with the motor city boel too...FAU? 3rd place over 2nd place? _

Not that this will make you feel better, but sunbeltsports.org lists FAU as 4th.

_ Why have a conference "tie in" with a bowl if they won't use it? The UL system should have jumped in and told those dumb_____es what to do...instead they pick Northern Illinois? Man those redneck techsters sure are scared of the little old SBC!!!! Wussies!!!!! _

So LaNeck has more pull than the entire SBC ? Apparently they do.

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.

Absolutely right!
