It doesn't matter about who wins…It matters about attendance figures. If the bowl game is in bham or shreveport, who will bring more fans? FAU, MTSU or ULL?
Answer:  ULL or MTSU….

I see that you just joined the board a few minutes ago. Did you do this just so you could piss on our parade?

That's exactly why.

I think that the attendance thing is a fallacy.  Conventional wisdom says we dont travel well.  We traveled about as good as anyone.  Send ASU to the Independence, Troy to the Papa Johns, and send FAU back to the New Orleans Bowl (against Memphis or Southern Miss)

25,146    2007 New Orleans Bowl FAU Vs. Memphis
26,423    2006 New Orleans Bowl Rice University vs. Troy University
18,338    2005 New Orleans Bowl Southern Mississippi vs. Arkansas St.
27,253    2004 New Orleans Bowl Southern Mississippi vs. North Texas
25,184    2003 New Orleans Bowl Memphis vs. North Texas
19,024    2002 New Orleans Bowl North Texas vs. Cincinnati
27,004    2001 New Orleans Bowl Colorado State vs. North Texas

Answer:  ULL or MTSU….

Why would a bowl want a team whose fans would drive to the game, then drive home afterward?  Wouldn't they rather see hotel and restaurant revenue?

Lets hope that ULL beats the MUTS and goes to the Motor City Bowl or something.  That way we all win, except the MUTS, and the Kitties of course.

FIU was a better team tonight, we just got by on a wing and a prayer…sometimes thats all you need though.

We would certainly bring many more fans to New Orleans than Birmingham or Shreveport. It will all come down to who the conference lobbies for. If the best thing for the SBC is for us to go to NO, we will. Our administration will have to make the case that we will be the most profitable team to send.

Wouldn't say that…….

Stats are  pretty even with us slightly ahead on totals; barely…but they had two TD's due to blown coverage…

Stats

We showed a decent balance of run and pass, as did they…and earned what we did…

Answer:  ULL or MTSU….

How about we send a team that will win? 

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
