NOLA Bowl Friday Night Concert Announced

[GoneGolfin]

That is a pretty good concert. I saw Cheap Trick about 5 years ago, still good.

That is awesome. I would love to see them play Dream Police again.

I still believe if there is a year to consider out of New Orleans and get to Shreveport & it's 1.2+ Million pay day, this is it. If we dont get MWC, the rest of quality match up options dwindle very very very fast.

Since when has the Independence Bowl paid 1.2 million of anything to anybody? Does anyone besides me remember when the the Independence Bowl was about to go belly up & set a a new tradition for bowl downsizing? When has Shreveport supported anything to the tune of 1.2 million? Didn't they have to move the top 28 out of Shreveport because they refused to support it? Now the once proud event which was a rich part of Cajundome culture is like a vagabond tossed to & fro in the wind.

I went to buy pecan trees in Shreveport once upon a time. I would have been better off buying magic beans from a travelling salesman.

So what does that mean Z? You'd rather freexe your nuts off in the slums of Mobile while you're getting you're hub caps stolen & getting mugged after the game?

----So BWK, I am with a guy tonight and I tell him how bad the situation is in Mobile by the stadium---he says that isn't true and says what a great place Mobile is----I have heard from so many on here and other places that it is the ghetto around the stadium---Help me out!!!

While it has been a while since I lived in mobile, my memory is that downtown is nice, the causeway has some cool places. Food is good and the arra around the stadium while not the best part of town it isnt a ghetto.

Mobile isn't that bad... At all, downtown very fun, clean and safe. We took a 15 passenger cab last year for $5 a person from downtown to ladd peebles and dropped us off at the gate...picked us up after. Honestly, cajun nation would take over downtown mobile and it would be very fun.

[Oiler]

To think that Mobile is undesirable as a bowl game destination due to concerns for one's personal safety is ridiculous. The exact same argument could be used for bowls in Houston, Miami, El Paso, and for sure New Orleans and many others. Mobile just isn't a destination city like New Orleans is and its for that reason that I'd prefer to go bowling in New Orleans. Just gotta be safe.

Boys , boys, boys.....If we actually take a week and let things play out, you might be surprised where we may end up. We have made the NO Bowl a ton of money, surely they will give us a week? Sadly, the decision to wait wont be left up to the young men.

[CRAWFISH61]

The invite cannot be made till 12/7 due to new rules put in place since the new playoff system. We will have time to gauge interest in our program by other bowls.
