    It's easy to explain, Brandon. You think it all went down on Saturday....but your timing of the events is off.

    By Friday-into-Saturday morning of last week, YES, the i-Bowl was UNANIMOUSLY in favor of a ULM/Tech game. That's true. BUT (here's your missing info)--- Tech was originally extended an invitation the week of 11/17, which was the Saturday of the UTAH ST loss. As you may recall, we had representatives from the Orange Bowl, the Liberty Bowl AND the i-Bowl at that game.

    Had Tech accepted the Independence Bowl immediately when it was extended (again, the Saturday-ish before Thanksgiving), ULM probably would have never been invited. Feel free to make up your own story as to why you guys would be sitting home at 8-4...but it certainly could have happened. OR it still could have been a unanimous vote on Saturday to invite as Tech's opponent...ULM.

    The fictional drama of all this makes for a much better story than the reality.

    Ok, well let's believe exactly what your ad (who is probably fighting for his job and doing whatever he can to save it) over the I-Bowl reps who have no reason for making something like that up. The fictional drama is you guys talking about ULM being left out if y'all would've accepted it. I don't understand how that is not fictional. Has anyone come out and said that? NO, therefore it is speculative and fictional. The USU game was in the third to last weekend of the season. I have a lot of trouble even believing an invitation was sent that early.

    And frankly, it creeps me out a little to have you know who I am and not tell me in return.

    Nah, I'm just kidding...

    But seriously......

    Once ULM received their invite, they were in. If Tech had accepted prior to that time, it is likely that Tech would've played Ohio. This is not far fetched. Tech was invited BEFORE ULM. ULM was only selected because Tech wouldn't commit and the iBowl needed a local team to sell tickets.

    Our Monroe-area guys can easily keep tabs on the three or four dedicated ULM fans.

    Ok cool, just keep assuming and believing what you want. I'll believe what I want. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

    You believe that ULM would've been invited had Tech accepted when they were first invited?

    N. Illinois, duh. And 4 years later they realized their mistake and wouldn't let it happen again.

    Have they actually said they made a mistake inviting Northern Illinois in 2008?

    Well no. But it would've been a sellout just like this one would've been.... 2008 = I Bowl mistake....2012 = la tech mistake.

    I've always wondered what is best for the bowl b/t a sellout and national tv ratings. I know they want both, but if they had to chose? Not many people outside of La would care about watching Tech vs ULM or ULL or Tulane or McNeese....

    Go to Shreveport and enjoy your bowl game. No one is interested in your input here.

    Re: Had Tech gotten into the Indy bowl, how'd you think they would have fared VS ULM?

    There was an interesting letter to the editor in the Advocate this morning. An LSPoo fan was complaining that they were going to the Chick-fil-a bowl and not the Cotton Bowl. He said that the tiggers should just stay home and relax rather than go to a bowl that is "below" them. http://theadvocate.com/news/opinion/...bowl-invite-is
