R&L Carriers Bowl...NEW ORLEANS opponent?

[ASUTodd]

This is now the most important game in Apps transition to FBS. We all griped about not getting into CUSA years ago and now we are grateful we didn't.... With that being said, if we want to prove we are better off ....we MUST win this one. We lose to an 8-5 MTSU team from CUSA then we better just shut our mouths for a long time... We proved ourselves against the MAC... We have beaten lesser CUSA teams.. now it's time. No coaching carousel distractions, no injury excuses, no nothing.... Time to win baby win.

It’s best to book tickets through the school. Yes it may be more than what you find direct or on another site, but it helps the school out tremendously.

That whole Satt salary thing comes into play here, correct?

I do not believe so, although he may have a clause or bonus in his contract in regards to tickets sold. Here is a little tidbit from a USA Today Article a while back:

“The ticket requirements are negotiated by the bowls and leagues long before bowl matchups are finalized. The bowls like bigger guaranteed ticket sales because they shift the risk of unsold tickets to the schools and leagues. In exchange for taking on that risk, the bowls generally guarantee a bigger payout for participating schools and leagues. The schools and leagues also get a block of premium tickets at locked-in prices that might fetch more money on the open market.”


Basically the school has to buy x amount. They are stuck with that bill no matter what. We can help them reduce the loss by buying through them and also creating a larger payout pool in the future if that makes sense.

Yeah, I knew that's how it works. It's just a very expensive trip for a family of four, if I can save $50 and have guaranteed seats I will enjoy.... Although I'll probably end up getting through the school bc of longterm investment... Who knows

Guess UAB thinks NIU as the MAC champion is a bigger dog (no pun intended) than the Sun Belt champs.

Oh well. It’s old Sun Belt vs.
New Sun Belt and a win over a CUSA team (along with some help from stAte, Stink, Troy and Louisiana winning their games) will help boost the profile of the conference which, after the last three years, is criminally marginalized compared to the other four G5 conferences.

Adding another trophy to the case and another notch over an OOC team is a good way to end the year.

Tickets through my Yosef Club account would be $60.00 with no guarantee of location.... looks like booking through the Bowl would be $40.00 for mid range tickets..... not sure what my best options are...

I saw that too. Hmm?

After Ticketmaster Fees, I can get mine thru the Bowl for about $50 and be on the sideline about midway up. I would hate to pay $60+ $15 and end up in a worse seat.....

I’d hate it if all our alumni bought tickets through ticketmaster and not the university and App was on the hook to buy thousands of tickets with the budget we have.

Always buy tickets through the university. Tickets bought through the university are tracked and used by bowls to gauge ticket sales for future bowls as well.

For our first Camillia Bowl, I got my tickets thru Yosef Club and the seats were absolute garbage.

The issue I have with this is that you wind up paying more for worse seats. That might not mean much in Montgomery or Mobile, but in the Superdome, it can mean the difference between cheaper seats on the 35 and expensive seats in the corner.

This MTSU team might be better than their record indicates. Three of their five losses were to SEC teams and their other two losses were by a combined total of five points (two of those five points were in the championship game loss to UAB). This will be a real test for our team and we'll see how we handle the CUSA runner-up. Their championship game was very close.

Yes, this I my biggest dilemma. I support the school beyond my tickets, but I also buy seats because I enjoy football and want value and to enjoy watching my team play. I am spending 100's to make the trip

It is Middle Tennessee State University. Article from Ethan Joyce, Winston-Salem Journal - "Who will App State, the Sun Belt champion, be playing in the New Orleans Bowl?"

Beat MTSU!!

[Stonewall]

We have to get more pressure on the QB. Can’t give this guy time.

There will be plenty of open seats, this is simple do the right thing for the program and university.

I believe that the tickets purchased through the Yosef Club are going to be allocated based on your Yosef point total ranking; from the bowl ticket page:

"tied to your Yosef Club donor account in order to purchase tickets and receive priority allocation based on the Yosef Club priority points system"

So, here's another reason to increase your Yosef giving and season ticket purchases to improve your priority for these events in the future. I think you have to purchase by the 6th to get in on the priority allocation thing for the best seats. I've got 4 ordered and hotel booked!!

While I expected it, it’s a damn shame that we can go 10-2 and win our conference and our “prize” is an 8-5 football team that couldn’t even win CUSA.

Careful. Toledo fans said something similar last year...and the year before.

My words have no impact on the outcome. If they beat us, I’ll eat crow. Still would have preferred the CUSA champ.

If we do what we can do, you will not have to eat crow. I wanted UAB, as well, but the MUTS will prove to be tough.

Agreed. I think they’re better than their record reflects.
