The game is Saturday, December 15th at 12:30 on CBSSN. We play Sunbelt runner-up ULL. The stated goals set by the team before the season were to have a winning season and to win a Bowl Game. Both goals are attainable with a win here. A loss would give us a third straight losing season under WF. Plus a loss would leave us having to hear how we aren't even the second best program in the state. So whether we would prefer a different opponent or not this is a big game for the program. Let's do this!

ROLLWAVEROLL!!!

To the mods- the other tread was a speculative thread about where we would go. The game deserves it's own thread. Thanks.

Here's something to think about regarding the "additional practices" everyone talks about for being a bowl team. For teams playing on Jan 1, they get 3 weeks, and then the week of the bowl you're usually at the bowl site as part of the festivities. We play on Saturday the 15th, but arrival date is Wed Dec 12th. So we get at most 7 days. Five next week (20 hour maximum) and then Mon and Tues. On top of that, our kids have exams next week to focus on. A New Years Day team can devote a week to exams and still get almost 3 weeks of practice in.
NCAA rules allow bowl teams to practice or hold other athletic activities up to four hours per day or 20 hours per week between the end of the regular season and a bowl game. While coaches often refer to the "15 extra practices" that come with a bowl invitation, there is no specific limit to the number of practices a team can hold during bowl preparation.

Teams that don't reach bowl games are limited to mandatory weight training, conditioning and review of game film between the end of the regular season and Jan. 1. They get a maximum of eight hours per week for those activities, including no more than two hours per week of film viewing.

We made a "who gives a damned bowl" game. Let's at least win it. The ratings MIGHT get to a whole number, but that would be a miracle. NOBODY gives a damned about this game, but those of us that care don't want to see Tulane lose to U-La-La.

I'm guilty of this myself but we have to be honest that we are being hypocritical when we look down on ULL as our opponent. We couldn't stand it when the players talked about UAB being a lesser team. Tulane has a lot to play for in this game so no excuses.

You are so very right. We have to win this one. We are the only ones who believe that we are the second best program in the state. We can not lose to ULL in another Bowl Game.


Some folks might hate this match up, but we need to win.
Ball Sumrall!

I am happy the Kids get o go to a place they may never have a chance to visit, but as I posted previously, I am not in favor of a "regional' match up in ANY Bowl...that is what made Bowls so popular, the inter regional atmosphere....Good luck to everyone,, No Injuries on either team

I saw this on Twitter just awhile ago. Figured it might get a chuckle or two.

It's a football game. Call them anything BUT "The University of Louisiana." We all know that Tulane is "The Tulane University of Louisiana." The first and only "University of Louisiana." They just might not be able to deal with history. I don't mind them calling themselves "Louisiana" just not "The University of Louisiana."

More importantly, did anyone catch Coach Fritz's radio show Monday night?

Beat U-La-La. Win the damned game and to hell with their name.

Since neither the school's administration nor the athletic department is asking to be called the University of Louisiana, it's good that you don't mind hearing Louisiana Ragin Cajuns because if you're watching the game on CBS, you'll likely hear it over, and over, and over again. :P
