UL Lafayette wins exciting New Orleans Bowl vs the Tulane squad that beat ECU. Ark State takes on the MAC Jan. 5.

The Rajin' Cajuns became the fourth school in the last 30 years to win the same bowl three years in a row. They own the Superdome!

2013 attendance, you ask? 54,728 Not too shabby!

It was a home game for Tulane and the Ragin' Cajuns are close by of course. Still that is not a bad number. I watched a few minutes of the game and it looked to be well attended. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl however seemed to be very thin. I caught it later in the game but it seemed to be 150 in attendance.

Glad to see our future conference foes winning. Reflective glory is not bad in sports.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

It looked like the vast majority of the crowd was wearing red and the energy of the Tulane fans there was piss poor compared to that of the Cajun fans.

Good win for the SBC. The Sun Belt Conference absolutely owns CUSA head to head and it's only going to get worse when all the new additions for each league join as full members.

Yeh, watched the Eastern Washington game with a whopping 6800 in attendance. Probably North Dakota and Montana are only two FCS schools with good fan bases and even though N. Dakota'splace is loud it is only 15,000 or so fans. Glad we're out of this FCS stuff.

Yeah, but it's gonna suck the first time App wins the Sun Belt title and gets sent to Mobile a week into January because the New Orleans Bowl picks ULL for the 18th straight year.

Winning the league and going to a bowl doesn't match my definition of sucks.

You must not have ever vacationed in Mobile, then. ;)

Obviously not saying that it would suck to win the Sun Belt. I am saying that it would be nice if the conference champion were ensured the preferred bowl destination.
