I'd rather not play a team with a powerful runner.

I am not familiar with Bobby Rainey, but if he is as good as Ronnie Hillman, he is damn good.

Sittiing in the dome now and was just thinking about what our endzone will say hope its just Louisiana

I believe the end zone is going to say "Saints," similar to the way it looks now.

I don't feel like the New Orleans bowl took advantage of their unique situation of having a local team in the bowl game. A regional team or a team from an AQ conference would have created a better atmosphere that both teams would enjoy. Now, it will just be 20k Cajus in a 70K seat stadium. I doubt SDSU sells 10K tickets. A non-AQ team within the region or evan a AQ team would have been better than SDSU. All of their fans have to fly in. The product may not be worth the price to them. SDSU does not have a fan base that travels like an AQ. A regional non-AQ teams fans could at least drive in for the game. I just feel like the Cajuns got the short end of the stick here. Geaux Cajuns!

Ratings won't be as bad as playing a MAC program. The San Diego metro area has over 4 mil people in it, more then the state of Louisiana. If San Diego can travel a couple thousand, UL brings around 20,000 and they sell another 8,000 tickets in the New Orleans community, they could easily break the record of 30,000 attendance for the NO Bowl. Not as bad as you think.
