nola neutral site game

[douglas]

i heard someone mention this today and i think i saw it on here at some point that they were in the process of planning a neutral site game in the super dome? with an out of conference opp.?

is this a pipe dream or something that is real?

if so who do you like?

if usm wasnt a dumpster fire that would be sweet, other than that id like a ga tech, cincy, louisville or navy i think that would sell some tickets

[Geaux]

I would like to see Baylor,Texas Tech, or Florida State.

[MelRock]

The talks are with Texas and Arizona right now.

sweet there are actually "talks". i just assumed it would be with an eastern matchup. id like to see an acc also or possibly a vandy while they are up.

I'm not sure we want any part of Florida State for the next few years! Did anyone see them against Clemson Saturday evening, and their QB is just a RS Freshman! But if they schedule it, I'll be there.

id be there as well but your right. on the road they violated clemson, famous jamus is the real deal. they can play with anyone in the country

Well if we're playing the guessing game I'll take a stab.

I would think they would be looking for another school that can draw pretty well in NOLA. I don't see them going with, say a Texas Tech, who have a decent fan base but won't bring many people to New Orleans. And I don't think it would be a school like Notre Dame because they set up their own neutral site games so they can keep most of the money. So with that said here's the list of possibilities I can think of:

Alabama
Auburn
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Miss State
Texas A&M
Baylor
Texas
Army
Navy
Air Force
Southern Miss
Houston

Of course I'm sure there are a few people here who know exactly who it will be or at least who is on the short list but I doubt they're going to spill the beans.

EDIT: NEVER MIND, MELROCK SPILLED THE BEANS.
I'd be happy with Texas because it would be a really fun, and really packed game that would bring in a ton of money. And I'd be happy with Arizona because it would be a winnable game that would be more winnable with our home-field advantage.

To quote something that I heard the late Alfred Lamson state to then A.D. Terry Don Phillips, " If you want to beat Nebraska you have to play Nebraska"......

And if we really think we want to shoot for Big XII membership, what better way to get their attention?
