A second place team from CUSA in NO....hey what a stupid arse choice if Toledo is in Mobile. Our conference screwed us if that is the case Almost all of the non CFP, non NY6 bowls are owned by....wait for it....ESPN. While there is committe that oversees and manages the operation of these bowls, don't be fooled, ESPN makes the decisions. The conference has little input into who plays where. The conference may have argued for Troy against Toledo but if Troy did not go to NO wonder how many from App would make it there? Just a comparison of 10-2 and 8-4 to play Toledo just crappy.

Confirmed. We are New Orleans bound! #BeatNorthTexas! Tv ratings will be nonexistent. How does going to the New Orleans bowl look for a 10-win team we're going to be laughed at. We will never be ranked ever. That game will not even make ESPN highlights that night I agree completely. I think our team deserves much more. It’s borderline sad.

The fact that we are playing in New Orleans against NTSU makes me think that Toledo may not be heading to one of our bowl games and is playing up North.
Would you rather play MAC runner up or CUSA runner up? Troy has already beat the MAC runner up this year.
Yes, Mobile and Montgomery both have better time slots but do you think the players and fans wanted to go to Mobile again, and hour up the road, or to New Orleans? I am not knocking Montgomery as a bowl game cause i heard they are top notch, but what is better to sell to recruits? Montgomery or Nes Orleans?

Not that we can not lose (see USA game) but for a 10-2 team conference champion pretty poor. However UNT will and should be excited to play us. So we better prepare but this bowl opponent is on a scale of 1-10 on appropriateness for us is a 1.2.

If this is true, it's early Christmas for me. Best bowl destination by far! Go Trojans!

The game against Toledo on prime time would have been an 8.8 so 1.2 vs 8.8 that is why I am bummed.

I really don't care about ratings. No one watches the bowls, anyway.

But you are right no one watches a noon game on Sat but they do watch a prime time game on the 23rd

I'm not sure what you mean. Of course I do. But the ratings for our bowl game mean nothing to me. I want the best destination for our team and our fans. Exposure, etc. Will take care of itself if we win any bowl. That is way down on the list.

I have a feeling that many of our players want to go to NoLa. After all, a bowl game is a reward for them. NoLa is a win-win for player and fan alike. Everyone should just enjoy the fact that we have a 10 win regular season and we are conf champs!

I've never really been a fan of nola but I'm going to try and go to give it a chance. But would love to see this bowl moved to Nashville, Atl or Huntsville as someone mentioned to me recently. Worse thing other than time slot is it's the home of the aints.

That game will not even make ESPN highlights that night But at least the fans can go to Bourban Street. They won't remember the game, but hey, they went to New Orleans. That's all it seems to be important to people! you can get your drink on anytime. you go to New Orleans anytime you want to. Hellgo to the Sugar Bowl let's go to bowl that actually cares for us the New Orleans Bowl sucks we're treated as a stepchild both teams not just the Sun Belt Conference

Not sure where the players want to go as long as they go. They probably are not going to Bourbon Street. Not sure where most fans wanted to go and perhaps it is NO. The exposure on prime time and if winning could get that edge in to the ranking which NO does not and maybe 11-2 will be all that is remembered. I just wanted to remember it in the absolutely best exposure way for Troy regardless of location. Image is not enhanced by people never watching you (see Boise) that is my only point. I am sure it will be a good time and a win will be great. However people do watch bowls that are unoppposed not a crowded shopping day at noon. So there in lies my only complaint. Good time but little promotion of the Troy brand

Why should I care who watches? That was all I was talked about last year between Troy and Ohio number one rated bowl game outside of the new year six all the talk on social media coming from an advertising standpoint you can sell games that people watch we couldn't giveaway commercials on that New Orleans Bowl this year at 12 in the afternoon on a Saturday during the holiday season no ma'am
