Early Bowl Projections?

[Esqueleto]

our rival in the SBC is and has always been Arkansas State.

Respectfully, I'm relatively new here, but you're both wrong. stAte doesn't move the needle at all in Lafayette or for most fans.

It's:
1. Tech
2. USM

3. stAte

This is why the Sunbelt will be fun next year with Tech. Everyone in the West is pretty much a rival with everyone else.

UL Rivals- Tech, ULM, Ark St., Southern Miss, USA,

First Responders Bowl (Ft. Worth,TX - Friday, Jan. 2nd) might be the best pull if we had a choice.
....folks can make a New Year weekend out of it.

Independence Bowl and theFrisco Bowl are both great options, but they are on a Tuesday night.

IMO, the Frisco Bowl would be best. 16K indoors stadium. Beautiful mix use area surrounding the stadium with hotels, bars, and resturants....park and walk.

The university would have to do a good job engaging the DFW alumni base and aim to get 5K Cajuns fans there.

Frisco bowl would be ideal. The Star in Frisco is a great area to take in food and drinks before the game.

Tech doesn't move the needle.

Tech means Louisiana is stuck in neutral.

…..I think that any team that uses the ull on signage should be fined…..it should ALWAYS BE JUST LOUISIANA OR UL….. OH AND IT IS LOUISIANA TECH UNIVERSITY AT Ruston…..LTUR!!!

The reality is no other school in Louisiana is ever going to call us “Louisiana.” Why? Because doing so legitimizes us as the flagship identity of the state, and that’s something our rivals will never willingly concede. Tech, ULM, LSU none of them benefit from acknowledging us that way, so they’ll keep using “ULL” or whatever else they can to diminish the brand.

That’s why we can’t waste energy worrying about what other schools or their fans say. The only thing that matters is what we project. If we go all in on “Louisiana” on our signage, our uniforms, our marketing, our traditions then over time recruits, media, and casual fans will follow suit. Consistency builds legitimacy. The more we reinforce “Louisiana,” the less room there is for confusion or debate.

In short, we don’t need permission from anyone else to own the name. We just need to commit to it fully and unapologetically. The outside noise will always be there, but if we stay consistent, “Louisiana” becomes undeniable.
