I just buckled my chin strap. I'm ready for this.

Based on what I know, NOLA Sports Authority contacted us about playing one of our home games at the Dome. Not sure how much Tulane's building their on-campus stadium played into this proposition or was it simply the attention we garnered by bringing in so many to the last two NOLA bowls....whatever it is/was, makes no difference to me. I'm all for it for recruiting reasons and helping to build a national brand. There won't be any problem finding teams to play us either because they know it will help their recruiting efforts in the NOLA area.

The other part of what I've heard, is that Rich Rod (U of Arizona) called Hud a week or so after NOLASA inquired about our interest to see if they could work something out. I didn't know about any talks with Texas, but that would be even better because its B12 and they would bring more fans than Arizona.

I'd like to see a 3-4 year contract and give the game a name...like Battle in the Bayou or something like that. I sure hope this gets done because its the kind of exposure we desperately need. Look how far Louisville's program has come since they agreed to play any night of the week with ESPN. I believe they were the first to do this and its paid off big time.

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.

Big games would be a Texas tie in, as we do a lot of recruiting in the Lone Star State, or a Florida school where we also do well in recruiting.

The LaTex Bowl sponsored by Goodyear, or Firestone rubber companies for UL and a Big XII Texas team, but not the Trojan latex company, we'll let Troy have that one in Birmingham.

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

Just to let you know, this is not a new idea. When Nelson Schneider was AD and had an Athletic Advisory board, we discussed this. His dream was Alabama or Notre Dame.
I am glad this is back in the thinking process. Just my opinion, when we play Loly Poly in 2015, I hope it is in Shreveport instead of Rust-0-leum. They have hotels and a night life.
