ESPN Bowl Projection

[LookingForResults]

If we are trying to build and widen our fan base in N. Louisiana, we are going to HAVE to have a team people know of and have heard of...... A big name is how you get attention. These MAC, MWC, and Indy teams don't cut it. Even I could have cared less when we played the last IBowl due to the opponent. I went and had a great time, but it did nothing for a national audience, much less local appeal. Us die hards will love playing some of the teams you mention and beating them, but most people in N. Louisiana need to associate us with something MUCH larger, even if it is a 6-6 team. I have a feeling there will be some 7-5 name teams available or, even 8-3 ones.

You got this one EXACTLY right.
