New Orleans Bowl Please

[Johnny Utah]

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has accepted a bid to the the New Orleans Bowl this year. Last year 50,000 of their fans showed up....ALL WEARING RED. Perhaps if we go to the New Orleans Bowl, the nation will be unable to see who out of the 50,000 are from Dallas and who are from Lafayette. Might confuse the nation into thinking we actually travel. Hence, New Orleans Bowl is a better decision for the program in my opinion.....

[Stallion]

Don't make your reservations. Sounds like the perfect bowl to invite Rice-short drive for their small fanbase

[SMU_Alumni11]

I'm hoping for heart of Dallas bowl, they might us since big ten I don't think will travel to it well so they might as well pick local.

NOLA is a great place to visit for fans and players. I just don't know about how excited our kids will be about NOLA.

I played there several times (HS and college) and it was always a wonder land for someone seeing it for the first time. Great zoo, FrenchQuarter unbelievable food, very active night life, incredible music and just a few minutes from the River Road and antebellum plantations. Not sure any of that will interested the kids except maybe the plantation tours.

And playing a southLA school and partying with their fans would be something to look forward to.

That's funny on the red comparison. Would be tough to play a La school in NOLA....crowd would be tough on us to say the least.

[OR-See-Nee]

We've already played in New Orleans once this year. That's enough for me.

I looked at several prediction sites and got three different predicitons.

CBS has us going to NOLA
Phil Steele has us going to Ft. Worth
And Scout has us going to Hawaii.

I think things are bit in flux until the CUSA championship game. If Tulsa wins CUSA, then they would go to the Dallas Bowl. We'd probably end up in Ft. Worth. If UCF wins CUSA, they go to Dallas, Tulsa to Ft. Worth and we go to Hawaii. I agree that Rice probably ends up in NOLA. Is UH bowl eligible?

[ponyte]

UH isn't bowl eligible this year. Currently its UCF, Tulsa, ECU, SMU and Rice from CUSA.

[CA Mustang]

Is UH bowl eligible?

No, they finished 5-7.

Only bowl eligible teams in CUSA are UCF, ECU, Tulsa, SMU and Rice.

CUSA Winner goes to Liberty Bowl. If it is Tulsa, then we probably head to Armed Forces Bowl. If it is UCF, Tulsa goes to Armed Forces Bowl.

[StallionsModelT]

Really hope that Tulsa wins CUSA title game so that we go to Armed Forces Bowl against AFA.

I hope that works out better than our Armed Forces Bowl appearance versus Army.

[StallionsModelT]

I just want to be able to attend the game. I can go to FW. Can't make it to Hawaii on Christmas Eve. Selfish reasons.

I hope UCF wins CUSA title, Tulsa goes to Hawaii or Armed Forces Bowl, Rice goes to Hawaii or Armed Forces Bowl and we end up in New Orleans Bowl or arrange a trade to another bowl game such as Independence Bowl or Dallas Bowl, etc. I would rather go to a bowl we have not been to.
