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.

Dang! we are lower in the pecking order than Most College!? Never heard of 'em!Originally Posted by brtransplant
The Indy Bowl is reaching. The AAC has 6 tie ins with 3 other secondary tie ins. The Indy Bowl is not one of those secondary tie ins. They will have 7 teams with 6 or more wins. If Memphis is in the Access Bowl they only have 6 teams available.
That's supposed to say Boston College. I don't know how I managed to type Most College.
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.
Since then "karma" has chosen to smite them. Lost three sponsors, now on a fourth. Attendance spiraling. Their little tax proposal was slapped down once in the legislature, shot down once by the voters. Stability continues to worsen.
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.
It's always a great win when you beat a Service Academy!
Just passing along what is being said about USM's bowl location. An Independence Bowl representative was at our Marshall game yesterday and said USM was their choice. That was before the game. Our local beat writer from the Clarion Ledger talked with him and a player's dad that posts on our Rivals board talked to him and they both heard the same thing. 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.
With the secondary agreements, I-Bowl is required to take C-USA or AAC if available.
I-bowl reps simply out enjoying games, hotels, travel, and dining and telling everyone they visit that the are number one on their invite list. They are getting around, but everyone still knows that "you have to LOSE your way into the I bowl".
