The Independence Bowl is in a lot of trouble. There’s really no way to sugarcoat it.
What was once a great tradition in northwest Louisiana featuring good games with decent teams has declined into a bowl game with mediocre teams most years.
In 2016, the Independence Bowl Committee got what it wanted all year long: ACC vs SEC. And few people wanted to see it.
For full article: http://www.latechreport.com/2017/01/...is-in-trouble/
Unless it makes some very radical changes, the Independence Bowl, or the "Toilet Bowl" as it is better known as in Baton Rouge, is doomed. The good people of Shreveport wouldn't support a matchup between very good, non-regional G5 teams any better than they support SEC and ACC bottom dwellers. The only way to have any kind of decent crowd at any bowl game of this level is for it to have regional participants. For the I-Bowl, that's usually going to mean that it will need one of either La Tech, Ark State, USM, or Houston in its bowl. An I-Bowl featuring Tech against a decent opponent would always guarantee an actual attendance of around 40K. With USM, Houston, or Ark St as a participant, the I-Bowl could count on an actual attendance of at least 30K.
ESPN needs to purchase the bowl. They can find the right sponsor and get a "better" matchup.
I don't understand why the committee is not held more responsible. I still don't know how that committee is selected. They have been horrible.
Good job. Great research work. Thanks.
The ESPN staff of the HODBowl and AFBowl in DFW have their stuff together.
Both of those bowls had local focus, lots for teams/fans to do.
Well-attended, compared to most other bowls.
I came away HIGHLY impressed with the LMAFB -Quote:

You are correct. Former LSU golfer Missy Setters is the Executive Director of the I-Bowl committee, and has been since 2006. She has been a member of the I-Bowl staff since 1996, serving previously as the "Media Relations Manager". Setters is married to a former LSU football player (Ross Setters) and is very vocal about her support for LSU. Furthermore, she's down right hostile towards LA Tech. We know this because after LA Tech was twice snubbed by the Indy Bowl in 1997 (9 wins) and 1999 (8 wins), Missy Setters used to visit this very board (BB&B) and spar with us about why LA Tech wasn't worthy of an Indy Bowl invite.Quote:

Setters was NOT happy that the school she hates most --LA Tech-- appeared to be the best option for her Indy Bowl fan base that year. So she gave Tech's leadership a very short fuse to respond to an invite. She issued the invite to Tech on a Friday night/Saturday morning, and demanded an immediate answer from LA Tech. When LA Tech officials responded by asking for 24 hours (in order to let that Saturday's games be played out to gauge the Liberty Bowls interest in Tech), Missy Setters --as Executive Director of the Indpendence Bowl-- pulled LA Tech's Indy Bowl offer off the table.
For most LA Tech fans that were also long time supporters of the Indy Bowl, this was the final straw. Missy Setters and the Indy Bowl committee had crossed a line and jilted a very worthy LA Tech team when it was obvious that the Bowl's alternatives were NOT better. It smacked of being spiteful. This failed move by Setters and company only worked to further erode the Indy Bowl's local support amongst LA Tech fans living in the Shreveport area. And as it turns out, LA Tech fans made up a significant portion of the Indy Bowl's supporters, and the Bowl's poor decisions had done irreparable damage to its own fan base.
Missy Setters is the problem. She always has been the problem, and it's amazing to me that the good people of Shreveport just can't see it. My message to the Shreveport community and the I-Bowl is: It's okay to change LEADERSHIP every decade or so folks. :laugh: Missy Setters has been around too long and needs to go. The Independence Bowl is desperate for fresh, new leadership.
Unfortunately for the people and businesses of Shreveport-Bossier, Missy Setters is slowly, steadily, killing their Independence Bowl.

Do you remember what her name was on here? I would love to read through her comments here. I'd also like to know why she hates Tech so much.Quote:

It is clear that Tech football and the I-Bowl are on divergent paths and it does us no good to focus too much attention on their struggles. Tech football will be here 10 years from now and in probably much better shape than it is even now. Can the same be said for the I-Bowl? Or will its existence be contained entirely within a glass display case on Clyde Fant next to Bradshaw's jersey and a Shreveport Steamer helmet?
I know that they feel like they needed to "teach us a lesson" and "put us in our place", but I really think the Bowl's only hope is a top-to-bottom change in the decision makers.
And still LaTech fans support the crap bowl. Since the lsu/notre dame BS, my support is nil unless my Dawgs are playing!
#iwilleverloyalbeunlikesome
Is there a reason that our relationship soured with the IBowl? I never understood the 2012 snub.
What reason do they have not to like Tech? Seems odd since we were accused of being in cahoots with them in 2009.

Maybe they'll look at the info that's come out in the last couple of days on how Tech is performing from the perspective of success on the field, TV viewership in the CUSA championship & bowl games and travel attendance and reevaluate. CUSA & Tech could be really good for the I Bowl. If ANY CUSA team was playing at the I Bowl, I'd be interested in going because I've gotten to where I follow the entire conference. But frankly, I don't give a damn about an SEC/ACC matchup and I WON'T GO!

They also need to get their pay-out up. $1.1 million doesn't cut it today.
Especially when they screw the non contract schools. If I remember correctly they don;t pay the G5 type schools the regular payout. That's reserved for the bottom feeders of the SEC/ACC.Quote:

I'm making a statement now. From here on out, I'm attending the HOD bowl as long as they are tied to Tech's current conference.
"The Independence Bowl lost $1.5 million over 2014 and 2015".
Has the Indy Bowl actually lost $1.5 million in cash? If so who is funding the shortfall?

We have just completed the regional bowl tour: Dallas, New Orleans, Fort Worth and it was awesome! As others have posted Tech Football is growing, getting better, garnering NATIONAL attention!! and the Idiot Bowl continues to sink further into irrelevancy. Still, it would be better for both sides if the I-Bowl was on the circuit for Tech. Before it dies a slow, miserable death hopefully the I-Bowl will get a totally new committee with people with IQs in triple digits and smaller egos.
The Independence Bowl Foundation oversees the leadership and management of the I-Bowl. Committees with chairs are made up of their membership. Membership is open and applications are available on their website. Want a new direction for the I-Bowl? Get enough new members with a different agenda and take the bowl over.
Kind of like we did with the lsus takeover?Quote:

Makes it even more believable that they used the same attitude with us in 2012.

Not weird at all. Sounds like a businessman who will not be bullied or belittled and deals with facts. Ms Settlers didn't deny it was said. In fact, she's very complimentary of Camping World's efforts to help. I think she sees the value CW brings to the table beyond money and would hate to see them leave. Give her credit for that.
I think she will discredit the comments after he terminates the relationship. I don't have a dog in the hunt. Looks like an exit strategy to me.
I think she sees losing her sponsor on their early out provision and will speak politically correct to prevent that from happening.Quote:

Secret votes. Backstabbing. Craziness, just craziness.Quote:

To me this statement says a lot:
"Every year it's something new that you have to focus on to make the game better for people locally," said executive director Missy Setters.
If you can't fix it after one year, then you shouldn't be the executive director! She is being reactive to situations that arise after the fact instead of being proactive to situation that might occur! Not a very good trait to have as an executive director.
Somebody invite her back to BBB. It might save her job. Or don't.
Yeah....I guess that "I-Bowl member" forgot that he wasn't talking about LA Tech this time. And he tried to use the same attitude. :laugh:Quote:

On his show "The Profit" he often focuses on management and will sometimes request someone step down, or higher management terminate someone. Once he got into a knock-down/drag-out argument with the majority owner of a business and said to him, no YELLED at him: you are the problem!Quote:

There have been lots of good ways to improve things presented on this board. Hope they figure things out.
Who cares if they ever figure things out? Personally, I could not care less what happens to the I-Bowl. It's a crappy bowl, in a crappy stadium, in a crappy part of Shreveport, that's run by a crappy committee that suffers from delusions of grandeur. Give me the HOD, New Orleans, or Armed Forces Bowls over the I-Bowl any day.Quote:

I think that ship has sailed. LA Tech is well entrenched in CUSA now, and with 5 or 6 bowls to fill every year, Tech truly no longer "needs" the I-Bowl like it once did. IMO, LA Tech's brand has outgrown anything that the I-Bowl could offer, unless they some day want to offer us a match-up against LSU, Arkansas, Texas, TX A&M, or Ole Miss. Short of that, I just don't have any interest in seeing LA Tech go to the I-Bowl.Quote:

The Newsday article: http://www.newsday.com/sports/colleg...-17-1.12784796 details the attendance of each of the bowl games this season. Looks like the bowls that featured regional teams in relation to the bowl location didn't have as much trouble putting people in the seats.
They are trying to blame the playing date of Dec 26th for their attendance woes, but in 2014 we played on Dec 26th in Dallas and drew 31,300. Maybe that date does impact attendance. Probably does. But we see that Tech still outdraws the Idiot Bowl including on Dec 26th.
Next! on the excuses.... we're waiting....
In the past when it was seriously hurting for money the I-Bowl committee has had the arrogant luxury of "throwing a bone" to Louisiana Tech to pull in a 40K+ attendance game to help them out. The next day it was right back to licking the P5's boots for any attention they can get.
The P5 doesn't need them, Louisiana Tech no longer needs them, and fans & sponsors are unimpressed with the 'barely bowl eligible' leftovers that they are getting. The I-Bowl is officially screwed and they have nothing to "blame" but their own arrogant attitude. They will never get rid of the "old regime" either.
And, they will go down the drain, blaming everyone else. They certainly can't be the reason. I bet some of them are even blaming this board for their poor attendance and claiming we have a bad attitude.
Screw them. I will attend the HOD bowl every year until I die. They care far more about Tech than our own Louisianian bowl does. Very sad for them. Can't see the diamond right in front of their face.
Well said Cliff. LA Tech has never been big time enough for Shreveport even when it made a lot more sense economically for the bowl and the city to get behind Tech. Let LSU bail them out.Quote:

In that article about bowl attendance any journalist worth their salt would have questioned the local bowl team on their recent experience with selling bowl tickets and attendance.
Shreveport media...so lazy.
It's really a shame that the I-Bowl committee refused to cooperate with Tech in the past. The Ft Worth bowl was created to make sure that local university TCU would have a bowl game if not selected elsewhere, same for the Humanitarian Bowl with Boise State. There are other examples of bowl committees who understand that local cooperation leads to MUTUAL GROWTH & PROSPERITY!
Shreveport's I-Bowl is THE ONLY bowl who has been adamant to make sure that their local school Louisiana Tech was their LAST OPTION. Ken Antee UL-M, Missy Setters LSU,... Antee is still feeling his oates as a C-USA football referee.
This is a rhetorical question, but shouldn't Missy Setters have an idea of how to get butts in the seats if she's been the Executive Director of a bowl game since 2005?Quote:
"I hear a lot of different things from a lot of different people,'' Setters says. "It's easier to sit on your comfy couch and watch the game on a big screen TV.
"I grew up in a time when you went to events so you could make memories with your family. It's a little different for me.That's why we have to tap into different age groups and different demographics and ask them, 'What will get you to the game?'''

Speaking to #2: was the Independence Bowl the only televised bowl game? To #3: December 26 was even a holiday for many people this year. They must think their readers are idiots.Quote:

I drove from Vidalia, LA to Fort Worth, TX the day of the game (about seven hour drive) to go see Tech in the Armed Forces Bowl on the 23rd. This is after working in St. Joseph Tuesday through the morning of the game.Quote:

And, the Mardi Gras Bowl? Really? Yeah, because Shreveport, indeed north Louisiana, is known as the party capital of the world. :rolleyes4: Mobile has a rightful claim to Mardi Gras, and of course New Orleans, as the city that perfected it! Not S'port. Gimme a break.
So, even if the name is changed....which would be a big mistake....you still need a corporate sponsor and you still need attendance! Neither of those will happen for the new "Mardi Gras Bowl" just because. Gawd! S'port is stupid. They deserve themselves and their epic failures.

Maybe Missy Setters could bare her fat butt on the 50 yard line and let the fans throw those little footballs at it. Whoever hits it gets a free beer. They could paint the cheeks yellow with a purple dot in the center so the LSU fans would come to the game even if LSU wasn't playing. That purple and yellow would also attract those famous sports writers from the times, Ferrell and Lang.

All Missy had to do was listen and say yes.
Shack's Bail Bonds offerered $560. She thougth he meant $560,000.
I saw Camping World advertising at several bowl games besides the I-Bowl. It was pretty obvious that Lemonis wants to be associated with college bowl games, just not the I-Bowl.
