Sorry that we impressed them...we will try to do worse next time.

Well if no one else gets a shot to impress 'them' then how is that going to work?

By the way, who is 'them'? The NO Bowl Committee?

They have to take whomever we place there. They hold few cards anymore. Just remove their 'first pick' slot and tell them if they don't like it, they're welcome to try to maintain certification. Or tell them.. The two bowls holding the top two picks....must pick the top two schools between them.

Pretty sure they've had a number of teams try to impress them. I have to ask what do you think you'd bring to N.O.?

The NO Bowl isn't listening to anyone but ULL. We didn't deserve to go there this year....but you guys didn't either. Period. No way App should have been rewarded for winning the conference with another trip to Montgomery. App should have been in that bowl.

Is a bowl slot just about rewarding an undeserving team because we're scared we can't fill a stadium? That's a 2005 era Sun Belt attitude. We've moved on. Our bowl selection process should too.

Look, effectively for every other team in the conference...there's only 4 slots. NO would take a 5-7 APR qualifying team from ULL over an 11-1 Texas State or Coastal or USA team. And that's a problem.

The bowl is acting as a non-profit and is about making money. What's in it for them?
