Like everyone after 10 year drought I’ll take anything. Even with 4 previous bowl games and a tourney trip it’s still been 6 years since I’ve seen NT play in nawlins. Let’s look at the other options.
Liberty Bowl – Memphis, Cool city but same distance and not better than new Orleans.
Hawai’I Bowl – Best trip for the team but I’m sure most people here can’t do a last trip on Christmas Eve.
Armed Forces Bowl – Fort Worth, Cheap day trip great turnout but come on I want to get out of town.
Beef ‘O’ Bradys Bowl – St. Petes, The name alone pisses me off but fun city and Florida in December would be nice.
Military Bowl – DC, I love DC but it’s far expensive and it’s RFK in December
New Orleans Bowl, Close enough cheap enough and we all know the city.
ANY BCS BOWL – Not gonna happen but if so ignore everything above I’m in.
New Orleans wins hands down it may be the sixth option which also makes it the most realistic for our first year in the conference.
