However you want it.

No one here gives a damn about what YOU think......you really think we should have pulled for stAte v. WKU when a stAte loss assures us a share???? You are completely off of your rocker.

I don't think you should have pulled for stAte vs. WKU in the game. But I know you should have supported stAte over WKU for a bowl slot.

And yes, nobody gives a damn what I think. And that's why I don't give a damn what you want to be called anymore.

I don't care who gets what bowl slot...you want better...don't get skull drug on your own field on a Tuesday night.....we don't owe you 1 damn thing as fans.....

That's cool. Don't complain when you get nothing in return.

For all of the Cajun fans who have posted in this thread calling bullshite on the accusations I have one thing to say to y'all.

Appologize to any poster who you have insulted because Scott Farmer indeed tell the I-Bowl to screw themselves. We could have had the opportunity to play an AQ school and our administration would rather party in New Orleans that improve the program.

To stAte, WKU, Texas St, Troy, hell even ULM I welcome all the hate spewed our way because it is deserved criticism. Our administration continually screws the pooch and I for one have had about enough of their lies and deceit.

I still like my ULL buddies and wish them well....except for this weekend.

I wish you guys would start using some names instead of "ASU fans".

Dear Bowl Gods,
Please bless my good no great friends at ASU with a bowl game this year. They are guaranteed to finish no less than second in the conference and still have a legitimate chance of being co-champs. Please don't look at there overall record or there OC losses. I know you didn't grant one of our second place teams, MTSU a bowl last year but please make the exception for our friendship is at stake. If this doesn't happen a few of there fans will leave the conference. I know I'm just a fan with no control of what happens but I'm calling on you to help a friend in need and to prove my loyalty to A-State. I know most of us out side of Troy would be happy to have two championship rings but the bowl game means more to them. The reason I've come to you is because the Cajuns are accused of not supporting our friends and that's not true. Please anything you could do would help, I-bowl, Potato Bowl, Pizza bowl, Beef Bowl or any other bowl you may have lying around would help thanks in advance. Signed one Cajun fan on his own not the Cajun fan base.

Wow this all sounds so familiar to this time last year, except the team names have switched and the talking points are reversed. This is not healthy long term for the Sun Belt. C-USA places teams based on final conference standings, which seems a lot more fair to me.

While I'd have welcomed a chance to play a quality team in the Indy Bowl, how do you know the following:

1) Scott Farmer told the Indy Bowl to screw themselves (I was under the impression bowl arrangements were handled by the Belt main office)

2) What financial offers were made by the Indy Bowl to intice the Cajuns to play in their bowl?

3) Who would the likely matchup team have been?

Now, as much as I'm not excited about seeing the Cajuns play against Tulane in the New Orleans Bowl, let's look at the upside potential. A solid victory against Tulane would work wonders in the S. Louisiana recruiting wars and also establish the Cajuns unquestionably as the number 2 team in the state behind LSU A&M at Baton Rouge.

Many Cajuns fans believe (have believed this season) the Cajuns are ready for the bigtime, are a Top 25 team, etc. I'm not one of them. While the Cajuns have improved dramatically these last few years, we've still got a ways to go in my opinion before we're ready to play the average 4th or 5th place AQ team from a P-5 conference. Don't get me wrong, I'd welcome the matchup, but still believe we're on our way up and there's nothing wrong with accepting a N.O. Bowl bid.

We haven't even won an outright Belt Championship yet. Let's see if our backup qb is up to the task on Saturday.

You say that, but wait until MTSU gets shipped to Detroit this year. C-USA wheels and deals with the placing of teams too. Up until the madness of Saturday, it was a good possibility of C-USA sending your Blue Raiders to Detroit to FAU could go to St. Pete

Yep, this. Southern Miss had one win since 2011 before they demolished UAB this past Saturday. That was in the Hawaii Bowl...as CUSA champs. Standings? No...get ready MUTS

Ok, my bad, I misunderstood then. I think it is the top 6 will be guaranteed bowls before anyone else lower. Not ideal, but still better than champ or bust.

Geaux, we all know Farmer is a clown but he is simply a puppet of Dr. Savoie. The decision not to talk to the I-Bowl was his alone. Now I have complained about our administration on this board and a number fans including ASU fans thought it entertaining. Now that UL has made this decision, I don't feel the need to appologize to anyone because I haven't disrespected ASU period. The Sun Belt is a joke starting with the by-laws and Benson as the commissoner. ASU was never willing to admit that fact and now we are responsible for the poor bowl opportunities of this conference? In spite of our own administrations stupidty, its time ASU fans grow up and realize the SBC is a joke and blaming UL doesn't change that fact.

Too funny. I don't think we are out of the bowl picture just yet. For every fan, its about instant gratification and what have you done for me lately. I don't know if your admin gave the Indy the Heisman or not but UL needs to do what is best for UL. Every other team/school would do the same. If we ever get a bowl in LR or the Liberty picked a SBC team, stAte would get first chance. That's just the way it is.

We have tried hard to be loyal to our conference and highlight its positives. But this incident may have moved stAte fans over to the dark side with Lafayette.

Is there any proof we turned them down. There's a lot of bad feelings towards the Indy Bowl when they turned us down a few years ago. Wouldn't this open the door for ASU?

Please don't speak for all Cajun fans. I for one have much respect for Scott Farmer and even more for Dr. Savoie. Dr. Savoie has done tremendous things for our university and its althletic program.

I'm keeping my mouth shut. Emotions are too high around here and it seems more than one poster is going to post something that in retrospect he probably shouldn't have.

Until sanity restores here I'm keeping it my mouth shut. Good luck to our conference friends.

Many have y'all have been against us from the time realignment began, don't try and be coy.

You mean like caving in on the name issue to appease ULM? Or sleeping on realignment? Or letting Farmer run off BOTH Lotief's only to have T-Joe be forced to step in? Or letting our softball team get a 14 national seed ranking while he was chair of the selection committee when we had the #1 OOC RPI and 3rd overall RPI?

Please tell me what great things either of them have done....I'll be waiting!

I don't, he has been caught with his pants down numerous times, from realignment to relationships with his coaching staffs. Dr. Savoie has been willing to do more than his predecessor, but he has been slow to move and had it not been for a major RCAF supporter to show him how to finance the First Phase, it would have not been ready to break ground. Now let's see if it in fact gets done in the time frame they have told everyone. The stadium endzone is to break ground this month according to their announcement and the new athletic facility in February. Let us revisit this topic then. As for not speaking for most Cajun fans, no I don't because like you most are not willing to ask questions and drink the kool-aid blindly.
