Can anyone confirm that UL has accepted the NOLA bowl invite that the New Orleans Advocate is reporting that "a source close to the bowl confirmed"

The spoon told them.

UL should say fork over some more soup.

Z...if we are still in the SBC, which is 99.9999999% sure of being the case, we will be in the same situation next year, IF we have a similar record. BUT, if we have a better record say 11-1 with a win over Miss. or better, a 12-0 record, then we are looking at BCS buster status. Otherwise, we just have to get out of this conference because its the bottom of the pecking order and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

We can play the waiting game. I think we would probably do that next year if things are shaping up similar to this year, but it's risky.

Rick, if we are 11-1 next year and are in NO again against a 7-4 opponent(unless BCS). There I a problem. 12-0 and there is definitely a major problem.

Fellas understand I think the world of u guys and value your opinions. We just feel differently on this.

BTW, one of the most recent comments on the Toolame message board (only a couple of comments a day as it is) is already making excuses for poor attendance at the Bowl because it takes place after final exams so their student turnout will be low.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way. As an 8-4 team playing in these bowls was cool, and I wouldn't even be opposed if our opponent would be either of the 2 teams we faced the past 2 seasons in New Orleans, but I'm sorry to keep pounding this home, but Tulane brings not a damn thing to the table. Sorry if I imagine that our bowl game should be about quality of football and not just about the fans having a vacation before Christmas.

So what do you suggest we do? Don't just say what you want, explain how we get it

Yes, we always appreciate advice on attendance from fans of a team that had to count a "home game" in Little Rock, Arkansas.

SUCK IT, HOAX !!!!!!!!!!!

im sure you do like any advice from a fan of a team that wins non conf AQ games...and stop using emoticons...you look like a 12 yo girl using them

Cusa doesn't send anyone anywhere. Southern miss went to Hawaii instead of liberty as champion. The #'s next to conference tie ins aren't rankings, it's order of selection. Until this year cusa hasn't placed anyone in Nola since 2009

Not true, they placed ECU in New Orleans last year because they were going AAC and they were forced into a slot they didn't desire. With that said, I'd take WKU, Texas State, stAte, and Troy over Tulane in a bowl game THIS season. Tulane is a bad team with no fans which will make for bad TV and a lackluster bowl experience for the fans.

Easy, Geaux 12-0 next year!

3 years.

0 marquee wins. 0 national rankings.


Fix this before we ask for respect in bowl season.


Heck, even Boise still gets dissed in certain circles. Just the way it is if you are not in a major conference.
