I think that's like the second best option for the Cajuns (first obviously being the "playoffs").

Would give the Cajun fans still pretty close to home field advantage, but far enough to show that they will travel well. Also gives them better exposure, and most importantly... Opens up the NOLA bowl for the Bobcats to sneak into!

We would bring just as many to Houston as we would to New Orleans. We have close to 12,000 Alumni in the Houston area.

I know what you mean. I think we go bowling this year however. I bet we end up in either the Armed forces or Heart of Dallas bowl. Had we beaten Troy and Fresno State not lost to San Jose State we would've end upin the Armed Forces bowl last year.

You won't end up at the HOD for sure and chances for Armed Forces are very slim. Backup bowl arrangements, etc.

Only thing with Backup agreements is you have to have enough bowl eligible teams to cover those backups.

True but I seriously doubt that CUSA would think of Texas State as a HOD opponent. Just won't happen.07-coffee3

RE: ESPNs early bowl projections
I tend to think last year was the collision of two events.

1. The NCAA moratorium on new bowls. The Sun Belt and MAC should have been able to sign/create new bowls earlier because their allowed number of ties had changed but the moratorium prevented the growth when it was needed.
2. Last year you had an unusual number of teams with three or fewer wins (28 compared to 24 in 2012 and 22 in 2011) there were something like five or six schools last year who won a game by 7 or less over a team with 3 or fewer wins who got bowl eligible because of that win. A more normal year at the bottom of the heap should reduce the number of bowl eligible teams in 2013 while the number of bowls will be larger.

I have nothing to indicate how attendance would fare one way or the other, which is why I think it's like the second best option for y'all.

It will allow you to prove your "travelability" and it's a higher profile game.

Win-win I say.

Geaux is correct about how well we would travel to Houston for a bowl. Huge Houston area alumni base, plus less than a 4 hour drive down I-10, plus an indoor bowl, which makes it easier to convince momma she wants to go.

Also it's an hour direct flight from NOLA. I would be there with no problem.

RE: ESPNs early bowl projections
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying it's a great deal because it's a bowl that's still close, but not directly in your backyard which will allow your university to demonstrate that the attendance wasn't just because it was a convenient bowl.

I don't think you'll have a problem putting plenty of butts in the seats for the Houston Bowl. I think it would be a good opportunity for you to show how good you guys travel for bowls.

In fact, the only team I'd rather see in the Houston Bowl over you guys is... Well, Texas State.

Still waiting for proof that Texas State was seriously considered for the HOD Bowl. Never heard of them as a serious consideration other than wishful thinking by some Texas State posters on their board. Need a link please.07-coffee3

Well some of us have to work and don't have internet access to goof around on all day.
I could care less if you believe what I say, or not. It was early in the Bowl projections when several teams were on the verge of not making a Bowl at all. It went away fairly quickly. TXST was then offered the Armed Services Bowl if we won another game or 2; which we didn't.

I am not wasting my time trying to find last years' early bowl predictions to satisfy your need to diss TXST.

Remember CatMom you are talking to a fan of a directional school who ran off to a lesser conference so they could get enough wins to get to a bowl. Ignore him.

If that comes to pass ASU and UL should be condos in Mobile and NOLA. Four straight years is a bit much.

It was all back room talk with nothing official. At the time the MWC had a really strong chance of not meeting all their contracted bowl appearances, also the B1G wasn't going to have the bowl eligible teams they needed. So, at the time in mid to late November there was a chance. It so happened that the right teams lost and the MWC was indeed able to send someone (UNLV) to the Armed Forces bowl which then got traded to the HOD Bowl to get Middle Tennessee to go to Fort Worth.
