Not technically.

Define "not technically"

We were in a 3 way tie for 2nd with ULM and WKU. We beat both teams. However, the SBC doesn't recognize that. So technically, we tied for 2nd. Next year we are loaded and will win the conference. I guess that would put us back in the N. O. bowl who contractually will be required to take the conference champ. So, we'll have to win the conference to return.

The TD catch should have been reviewed but wasn't, however it doesn't mean that ULL wouldn't have scored even if it had been overridden. I am impressed with ULL and if they do lose their coach (probably will pretty soon) they found him, they can find another.

We might lose him. But, he's getting almost $1M now, and will get more after this win. He is building something big at UL and his family loves Lafayette. With the new facilities to be built, he could be another Peterson at Boise State. Certainly hope we can keep him. We have him for at least one more year. Should now be able to now get a good replacement if he does leave with back to back 9 win seasons.

Some times a coach will turn down a move because of loyality like Jeff Bower did at Southern Miss. If this guy does leave though, I think he has left a foundation that another good coach will like and be able to build on. I would love to see La.Lafayette in C-USA although I don't know it that is likely or not, but ULL has been on the USM schedule off and on since 1923 so as a Golden Eagle fan, I would welcome a good tough ULL team.

Louisiana would love to be in CUSA. Hope we get invited. We did serious marketing with CUSA officials at the bowl game. I think we made an overall great impression, not only the game and attendance but with academics and proposed facility improvements.
