July 2013: Phil Steele has UL playing Tulane in New Orleans Bowl

Well, first thing, we need to win out. That would take care of our side of the equation.

Next, would Tulane put any more butts in the stadium that ECU?

We don't have to win out

Shhhh... Hud and staff are reading our posts for tips. I don't want them to think they can slack off.

They would indeed. You better believe that some would be sold out

No, no CrappDaddy, we know it would be sold out, but actual butts in the stands no way. Cajun fans would be buying them up on StubHub at below face value. Most of the tickets to UL fans overnighted from New Jersey.

All kidding aside I think you would have a decent contingent of actual a Toolame butts in the seats. I think a lot of them would be very old timers wanting to enjoy the one time experience. For instance, my brother-in-law played at toolame in the late '60s. He has not attended a fame in years other than a rare "reunion" game. But I think he would go to the Bowl game since it us in New Orleans. I think there are many other old New Orleaneans (the last of the dying breed from the days before it became an East Coast school) who would go out of nostalgia.

Sure would be easier than losing and then having to hope that team loses twice.

I think they'll show up in the best numbers they can amass. They will not like UL taking our fans into the home town dome and so completely dominating them. I believe they'd launch a monstrous "back us New Orleans" thing... and get a good number of New Orleanians to attend, wear green, and support them. If they were smart, that's what they'd do in the dawn of their new stadium plans.

I think it would be a great NO Bowl. It would even inspire more UL people to show up... knowing we'd smack down another instate school in a raucous New Orleans weekend party extravaganza.

That is your opinion, we don't have to win out...and in my opinion I don't think we will have to win the championship to be in New Orleans bowl.

[Cajun Crusader]

I thought the NO Bowl had to take the Sun Belt Champion this year? Or is that one of those things the bowl committee and conference approach as technically yes but is open for discussion when we get there?

[CrazyCajun]

I think it's still technically in place but I think the rule was originally brought up before we had 3 bowl tie ins. Hopefully we are the champion but if we aren't, I would imagine as long as the champion is taken care of then the New Orleans bowl can take whoever. Bowls are about money. They will do what is best for them financially.
