Over on the AAC board, they say I-Bowl reps were in attendance at the Houston/Navy game. They also speculate that the I-Bowl will land one of either Duke, Virginia, Most College, or Wake Forest. Not looking too good for our Dawgs.

The Idiot Bowl will love to stick it to us again. Look for them to offer a 6-6 MAC team.
Also, keep in mind that part of what the Indy Bowl squanders money on is spending on food and travel for their committee members to watch football games all year.
Since then Tech has played in and WON three consecutive bowls, two beating P5 teams, the third a trip to New Orleans. We traveled well in all three. We've done $40 MILLION in stadium improvements.Quote:

So how'd that work for them?
This said, a bowl in Shreveport could be good for us, good for the community. They do have some really good staff, and I hope this year launches a good relationship. The ball's in their hands. What will they choose?
Navy isn’t P5...unless you believe in the “P6”. Still a good win since they had that little 25 next to their name.Quote:

Now this info is about worthless probably, but thought I would pass it along. I know the Indy Bowl is in trouble, so it would make a lot of sense to me for them to select Tech because of the crowd you guys would bring.
I don't see Louisiana Tech in the Indepenedence Bowl.
Heck, I don't we us in any bowl this season.
Just saw a "list" by whom, I don't know. We're not on it for any bow. They're Boston College and UCLA for the Indy. UCLA they wish!
I saw that too. No way a PAC 12 team is coming to shreveport.Quote:
